Biomimetics From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Velcro tape mimics biological examples of multiply hooked structures such as burs. Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models‚ systems‚ and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.[1] The terms biomimetics and biomimicry come from the Greek words bios‚ meaning life‚ andmimesis‚ meaning to imitate. A closely related field is bionics.[2] Living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials

SUBJECT: ANTENNAS AND WAVE PROPAGATION 1. Define an antenna. Antenna is a transition device or a transducer between a guided wave and a free space wave or vice versa. Antenna is also said to be an impedance transforming device. 2. What is meant by radiation pattern? Radiation pattern is the relative distribution of radiated power as a function of distance in space .It is a graph which shows the variation in actual field strength of the EM wave at all points which are at equal distance from the
