1. An isotropic antenna is radiating in free space. At 100m from the antenna, the total electric
field E is measured to be 5 V/m. Find the

(a) power density S

(b) power radiated Prad

2. Find the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) and first-null beamwidth (FNBW), in degrees, for the
following normalized radiation intensities:

(a) U(θ) = cosθ

(b) U(θ) = cos2θ cos2(2θ)

(c) U(θ) = cosθ cos(3θ)

(0 ≤ θ ≤ 90, 0 ≤ φ ≤ 360)

3. The maximum radiation intensity of a 90% efficiency antenna is 200 mW/unit solid angle. Find
the directivity and gain (dimensionless and in dB) when the

a) input power is 125.66mW

(b) radiated power is 125.66 mW

4. A beam antenna has half-power beamwidths of 30◦ and 35◦ in perpendicular planes
intersecting at the maximum of the main beam. Find its approximate maximum effective aperture
(in λ) using:

5. A lossless resonant half-wavelength dipole antenna, with input impedance of 73 ohms, is


connected to a transmission line whose characteristic impedance is 50 ohms. Assuming that the
pattern of the antenna is given approximately by:

find the maximum absolute gain of this antenna.

6. A resonant half-wavelength dipole is made from copper (σ=5.7x10-7) wire. Determine the
radiation efficiency of the dipole antennas at f=100MHz if the radius of the wire b is 3x10 -4λ and
the radiation resistance is 73ohms. The loss resistance for half-wave dipole is 0.5*Rhf
