Antenna reception
A propagating electromagnetic wave drives an oscillating current in a conductor of comparable dimensions. The radiative flux becomes a circuit current.

Relations
- radio- or microwave-frequency radiation and an antenna resonant at that frequency
- an oscillating current at the wave frequency
- the antenna feeds a diode matched to its impedance
Matrix context
D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.
