The transmitter sends out EM waves. EM waves are a carrier of energy and are produced by oscillating charges - usually caused by connecting metal to AC power supply. The waves travel through a medium and transfers its energy to the antenna which is basically a metal rod. The energy causes charges in the metal to oscillate at a certain frequency, controlled at the transmitting end. The charges oscillate to produce corresponding EM waves which can be detected/read as signals and turned into sound energy etc...

How did he generate and detect EM waves?

He generated electromagnetic waves by accelerating charges back and forth rapidly in an antenna. He detected the waves by using a similar antenna that would convert the electromagnetic waves into electrical signals.


What is the use of antennas?

an antenna is used for transmitting and receiving signals with the use of electro magnetic waves. without the antenna there will not be any communication between one end and the other end. so, antennas play an important role using the EM waves. these em waves take energy from conducting electrons and transmits the information to the other end.


How antenna radiate em waves?

The underlying electromagnetic radiation mechanism is illustrated by evaluating the scattered radiated field and its effects on the aperture efficiency by considering the theoretical limits of a radiating conical horn with infinite length


How does an antenna pick up waves?

An antenna picks up waves by converting electromagnetic fields into electrical signals. When radio waves interact with the antenna, they induce an alternating current within the antenna which is then processed by the connected circuitry to extract information or energy from the waves. The size and shape of the antenna determine which frequencies it is most sensitive to.
