English: Diagram of a thought experiment used to derive the effective aperture of a isotropic antenna, used to derive the expression for antenna gain. It consists of an ideal lossless isotropic antenna A in a thermal cavity at temperature T, connected through a lossless transmission line and a narrowband filterF to a resistor R in another cavity. Both cavities are at the same temperature and so are in thermodynamic equilibrium

Diagram of a resistor and an isotropic antenna in a thermal cavity
Minor alterations to diagram: changed font to Times New Roman to more clearly distinguish Greek and Roman characters, altered red arrows indicating equilibrium between antenna, resistor and cavities
