Dear all,
I am trying to understand what is the difference between a transmitter and receiver antenna.
If I recall correctly an antenna is a dipole so you can always use it to either transmit or either receive.
All the antennas that are used for transmitting purposes come with some performance metrics (gain pattern or SWR). How these two metrics are applied to an antenna working as a receiver antenna?
The reason for this post is that I want to buy a receiver antenna that can work in the range of few Mhzs up to 3Ghz and I am trying to understand how all the performance metrics will affect the received-power measurement process.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Best Regards
Alex
