Black body as an antenna and transmitter combination

Abstract

In the presented report energy balance characteristics of the black body radiation is reviewed on the basis of the antenna technology concept. It shows that electromagnetic energy may be traced to energy performance of an equivalent link line. The report introduces such concepts as equivalent virtual transmitter power defined by the Black Body temperature and size, as well as the virtual antenna characterized with constant gain equal 4 and chaotic polarization. The presented review results in determination of passive radar range equations.
