antinode
This term describes the peak of oscillation in a standing wave, representing the spatial location where the medium moves with the greatest intensity. It stands in direct opposition to the node, which is the point of zero displacement. The term is primarily used in physics and acoustics to describe the geometry of resonance.
In radio frequency and microwave engineering, the concept extends to electromagnetic fields. Here, it identifies the specific physical coordinates where signal strength is at its maximum, making it a critical consideration for the placement of antennas to ensure optimal energy capture or transmission.
Meanings
Examples
The string vibrates most intensely at the antinode.
Look at the screen and identify where the antinode is located.
An antinode occurs where the two waves interfere constructively.
An antinode occurs where the two waves interfere constructively.
I wonder if the signal strength peaks exactly at the antinode.
The displacement is at its maximum at each antinode of the standing wave.
The antenna was positioned at the antinode to maximize reception.
Each antinode represents a region of maximum oscillation.
