Air Intakes, Antenna for "Falcon-10MER" "Amodel" 1/72 Scale Mini World 7264

Antenna is a converter (usually linear) of wave fields; in the traditional sense - a device designed to emit or receive radio waves.
The transmitting antenna converts the guided electromagnetic waves moving from the radio transmitter along the feeder line to the antenna input into free electromagnetic waves diverging in space. The receiving antenna converts the free waves incident on it into guided feeder waves, which supply the received energy to the input of the radio receiver: 5.
The shape, size and design of antennas are extremely diverse and depend on the operating wavelength and purpose of the antenna. Antennas made in the form of a piece of wire, a system of conductors, a metal horn, metal and dielectric waveguides, waveguides with metal walls with a system of cut slots, and many other types have found wide application. To improve the directional properties, the primary emitter can be equipped with reflectors - reflective elements of various configurations or their systems, as well as lenses.
The radiating part of antennas, as a rule, is made using conductive materials, but can be made from insulating (dielectric) materials, semiconductors and metamaterials can be used.
