Antenna folklore

From the LF-reflector and very true.
Antenna engineers use to say about design goal limits of antennas:

    Small
    Efficient
    Wideband

Pick any two (meaning you can't have all three...).

  1. An old ham I greatly respect who did so much to encourage me used to say, whenever the word antenna cropped up, "insects have antennae - radios have aerials!"

    I think he was very much in the same position as King Canute on this: he certainly never actually stopped me using the American-English term.
