expert subject date December 2011 An active antenna is an antenna radio antenna that contains active electronic components. This allows the construction of antennas of limited size and or wide frequency range. Most active antennas use antenna parts of minimal conducting area, e.g., a small whip, connected to the active component usually an Field effect transistor FET . The signal attenuation caused by the antenna size to wavelength mismatch is compensated by an active circuit. The active circuit consists of an impedance translating stage and an optional amplification stage. This arrangement is especially useful for constructing compact low frequency antennas which, due to budgetary, spacial, or practical requirements e.g., installation in vehicles , must be downsized. Low frequency signal wavelengths range from one to ten kilometers. ref Gentges, Frank. The AMRAD Active LF Antenna. QST Sept. 2001 31 37.

Multiple issues expert Computer science confusing July 2008 jargon July 2008 date July 2008 An Active message in computing is a messaging object capable of performing processing on its own. This contrasts with traditional computer based messaging system s in which messages are passive entities with no processing power. ref http portal.acm.org citation.cfm?id 131261 The operational semantics of an active message system , ACM Portal. Accessed July 20, 2009 ref Distributed Memory Programming Active messages are communications primitive for exploiting the full computer performance performance and flexibility of modern computer interconnects. They are often classified as one of the three main types of distributed memory programming, the other two being data parallel and message passing . The view is that Active Messages are actually a lower level mechanism that can be used to implement data parallel or message passing efficiently. The basic idea is that each message has a header containing the address of a userspace handler to be executed upon message arrival, with the contents of the message passed as an argument to the handler. Because the address of the handler must be known when composing the message, this mechanism is restricted to the SPMD programming model. Other versions of active messages Citation needed date February 2010 carry the actual code itself, not a pointer to the code. The message typically carries some data. On arrival at the receiving end, more data is acquired, and the computation is performed or, rather, the computation in the active message is performed, making use of data in the message as well as data in the receiving node. This form of active messaging is not restricted to SPMD , although originator and receiver must share some notions as to what data can be accessed at the receiving node.
