HOMEWORK 1. 1 PORT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

First, set the frequency range. Then, press shift and then Calibrate key to enter the calibration menu where we select the power and the number of ports (in this case, 1). Next, we start the calibration and follow the indications over the screen: Connect Open to RF Out Connect Short to RF Out Connect the Loads to RF Out

And then its calibrated.

2. LENGTH OF A SELF RESSONANT LAMBDA/2 MONOPOLE

But this is the length, and for resonance we can make an approximation: *0,95 = 35,63 mm

3. DEFINE FRACTIONAL BANDWIDTH AT -10 DB

Its the antenna bandwidth with respect to its central frequency at a frequency of -10dB respect to the maximum. [ ]

4. EXPLAIN WHEELER CAP METHOD

Its difficult to determine the Rrad but we can use the Wheeler Cap method. We know that the measure impedance of a normal antenna its:

So, if we put over the antenna a conductive cap of less than becomes:

of radius, the measured impedance now

So, we can obtain the Rrad doing the detraction:

And finally we can compute the radiation efficiency:
