What is the relation between effective length and effective aperture?

  • A.They are unrelated quantities describing different antennas
  • B.Effective length applies on transmit and aperture on receive
  • C.Both describe the same collecting ability in different units
  • D.Effective aperture is effective length squared in every case

Answer: C

Effective length converts a field strength into a voltage while effective aperture converts a power density into a power, so they express the same physical collecting ability in different variables and are connected through the antenna and load impedances. Neither is the square of the other in general. Both apply on receive, and by reciprocity both have transmit counterparts. Choosing between them is a matter of whether the problem is posed in fields or in powers.
