Antennas have to be classified to understand their physical structure and functionality more clearly. There are many types of antennas depending upon the applications applications. Type of antenna Examples Applications Wire Antennas Dipole antenna, Monopole antenna, Helix antenna, Loop antenna Personal applications, buildings, ships, automobiles, space crafts Aperture Antennas Waveguide (opening), Horn antenna Flush-mounted applications, air-craft, space craft Reflector Antennas Parabolic reflectors, Corner reflectors Microwave communication, satellite tracking, radio astronomy Lens Antennas Convex-plane, Concave-plane, Convex-convex, Concaveconcave lenses Used for very highfrequency applications Micro strip Antennas Circular-shaped, Rectangularshaped metallic patch above the ground plane Air-craft, space-craft, satellites, missiles, cars, mobile phones etc. Array Antennas Yagi-Uda antenna, Micro strip patch array, Aperture array, Slotted wave guide array Used for very high gain applic...
