Do antennas radiate photons?

â€œThe antenna, like the eye, is a transformation device converting
electromagnetic
photons into circuit currents; but, unlike the eye, the antenna can also
convert energy
from a circuit into photons radiated into space. In simplest terms an
antenna converts
photons to currents or vice versa.â€ Antennas, Second Edition, 1988, by John
D. Kraus. Page 19.
