Hi All,
I understand that the impedance of free space, according to the formula E/H, is 377 ohms. I understand that if the impedance is high, a given electric field is associated with a smaller magnetic field but what does this really mean?
What is being impeded?
Also, what is the significance of this to an antenna? Is there any advantage to designing an antenna with an impedance 377 ohms?
Thank you,
Bob
