Default Relationship Between Antenna Efficiency and Received Signal Strength

Isn't part of the received signal re-radiated?


I have no idea. I guess it's possible for a received signal to
"bounce" off the wire and wander off elsewhere. With VSWR, the
reflected signal might be re-radiated if the source impedance is
mismatched. Dunno.


Interisting thought. When the signal hits the receiver I am sure there is
some mismatch and part of it is reflected back to the antenna. Now what
hapens. All of it is radiated, part radiated and part reflected back, all
of it reflected back to the receiver ?
