Transmitting and receiving antennas have different jobs to do.

Although the fundamental characteristics of antennas apply to both
transmission and reception, the requirements and priorities of receiving
antennas can be vastly different from those of transmitting antennas.
Receiving Antennas for the Radio Amateur focuses entirely on active and
passive receiving antennas and their associated circuits. There are
relatively few cases where a radio amateur cannot benefit from a separate,
well-designed receiving antenna or antenna system. On the low bands,
including our new allocations at 630 and 2,200 meters, heavy emphasis on the
receiving end of these radio paths is essential for success.

The active antenna holds a prominent position in this book, as it offers
good receiving performance while taking up minimal space. Recent
developments in radio frequency (RF) semiconductors, especially low-noise RF
operational amplifiers, have made a number of previously
difficult-to-implement active antenna designs a very simple task.
