How Much Power Must We Extract From a Receiver Antenna to Effect Communications?
Subject to the laws of classical physics -the science that governs the design of todays wireless communication systems -there is no need to match the radiation impedance of a receiver antenna to the impedance of the front-end electronics in order to effect communications. If we dispense with a transmission line and, instead, make the front-end electronics colocated with the antenna, then a high input-impedance preamplifier can measure the open-circuit voltage directly on the antenna port while drawing negligible power.
