== Defining Transmitters & Receivers for Your Propagation Scene ==
In EM.Terrano, transmitters and receivers are indeed point radiators used for transmitting and receiving signals at different locations of the propagation scene. From a geometric point of view, both transmitters and receivers are represented by point objects or point arrays. These are grouped as base locations in the "Physical Structure" section of the navigation tree. As radiators, transmitters and receivers are defined by a radiator type with a certain far-field radiation pattern. Consistent with [[EM.Cube]]'s other computational modules, transmitters are categorizes as an excitation source, while receivers are categorized as a project observable. In other words, a transmitter is used to generate electromagnetic waves that propagate in the physical scene. A receiver, on the other hand, is used to compute the received fields and received signal power or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). For this reason, transmitters are defined and listed under the "Sources" sections of the navigation tree, while receivers are defined and listed under the "Observables" section.
