Antennas & Transmissions Lines

The transmitter that generates the RF power to drive the antenna is usually locate dat some distance from the antenna terminals . The connecting link between the two is the RF transmission line . its puirpose is to carry RF power from one place to another , and to do this as efficiently as possible . From the receiver side , the antenna is responsbile for picking up any radio signals in the air and passing them to the receiver with the minimum amount of distortion , so that the radio has its best chance to decode the signal . For these reasons , the RF cable has a very important role in radio systems : it must maintain the interity of the signals in both directions .
