How do antennas/transmitters work?
(OP)
Looking at the responses to some of these threads this will either be a ridiculously simple answer or way too esoteric for a plain ol' Mech. E. like myself, but here goes-
How do antennas and transmitters work? I'm looking for an answer on the subatomic level with plenty of Maxwell's Eqn's thrown in with explanation, not just "It's a hunk of metal with some alternating current in it" or is it just that simple? Where is good source for info on electromagnetic propogation? Thanks in advance!

any accelerated charge will produce an electromagnetic wave. Antennas are structures of metal that form currents on them that radiate with phase relationships that produce radiation field patterns.
