RF Components and Measurements
Transmitter
Generates signal at specific frequency
Determines amplitude (power level) of signal
Receiver
Receives the signal from the antenna and translates the signal into 1s and 0s.
Antenna
Provides two functions in a communication system.
The receiver converts the AC signal to bits and bytes
Intentional Radiator (IR)
Specifically designed to generate RF
A device that intentionally generates and emits radio frequency energy by radiation or induction
Measured in miliwatts (mW)
Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
Highest RF signal strength transmitted from antenna
A measure of the amount of actual power emitted from an antenna
Basic Requirement for Communication
Two or more devices want to communicate
Medium or method for them to communicate
Set of rules for them to use
Unit of Power
Watt
Milliwatt(mW)
Unit of Comparison
Decibel (dB)
Decibels isotropic (dBi)
Decibels dipole (dBd)
