Statistical Response of Antennas under Uncorrelated Plane Wave Spectrum Illumination

A general formalism is proposed to study the statistical behavior of antennas under uncorrelated plane wave spectrum illumination. It is shown that field statistics are not adequate to understanding antenna responses in such cases and that radiation pattern and polarization must be taken into account. New closed form expressions for correlation functions are derived for the induced voltage and the available power at antenna feeds.
