Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'radiation' (energy emitted as rays/waves) combined with 'diagram' (a drawing) yields a drawing that shows radiation. While full technical details (polar/Cartesian plots, antenna-specific usage) are domain-specific, the basic meaning is transparently inferable by a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The term radiation diagram comes from joining radiation, meaning energy sent out, and diagram, meaning a simple drawing. Imagine an antenna at the center with lines like a flower showing where the signal is strongest, so the term means 'a graph that shows how an antenna sends energy in different directions'.
