| contents | Subject to the laws of classical physics - the science that governs the design of today's wireless communication systems - there is no need to extract power from a receiver antenna in order to effect communications. If we dispense with a transmission line and, instead, make the front-end electronics colocated with the antenna, then a high input-impedance preamplifier can measure the open-circuit voltage directly on the antenna port without drawing either current or power. Neither Friis' concept of noise figure, nor Shannon information theory, nor electronics technology dictates that we must extract power from an antenna. |
