In telecommunications and electronics, an antenna feed refers to the components of an antenna which feed the radio waves to the rest of the antenna structure, or in receiving antennas collect the incoming radio waves, convert them to electric currents and transmit them to the receiver. Antennas typically consist of a feed and additional reflecting or directive structures (such as a parabolic dish or parasitic elements) whose function is to form the radio waves from the feed into a beam or other desired radiation pattern.
