Antenna impedance is a measure of how efficiently an antenna can transmit or receive radio waves, defined as the ratio of voltage to current at the input terminals. Matching the antenna impedance to the transmission line or receiver ensures maximum power transfer and minimizes reflections, crucial for optimal performance in communication systems.

A transmission line is a specialized cable or structure designed to conduct alternating current of radio frequency, such as in television, radio, and computer networks. It is crucial for the efficient transfer of electrical energy from one point to another, minimizing losses and maintaining signal integrity over distances.
