The radiation intensity of an antenna can be approximated by

U(, ) = cos4
(00 900) with (00 3600) and = 0 elsewhere. Determine
the maximum effective aperture of the antenna if its frequency of operation is 10
GHz.
A series of microwave repeater links operating at 10 GHz are used to relay television
signals into a valley that is surrounded by steep mountain ranges. Each repeater
consists of a receiver, transmitter, antennas and associated equipment. The Txing and
Rxing antennas are identical horns, each having gain over isotropic of 15 dB. The
repeaters are separated in distance by 10 km. For acceptable SNR, the power received
at each repeater must be greater than 10 nW. Loss due to polarization mismatch is not
expected to exceed 3dB. Assume matched loads and free-space propagation
conditions. Determine the minimum Tx power that should be used.
A mobile wireless communication system operating at 2 GHz utilizes two antennas,
one at the base station and the other at the mobile unit, which are separated by 10 km.
The Txing antenna, at the base station, is circularly polarized while the Rxing
antenna, at the mobile station is linearly polarized. The maximum gain of the Txing
antenna is 20 dB while the gain of the Rxing antenna is unknown. The input power to
the Txing antenna is 100 Watts and the power received at the Rxing antenna is 5
nWatts. Assuming that the two antennas are aligned so that the maximum of one is
directed toward the maximum of the other, and also assuming no reflection/mismatch
losses at the Tx or the Rx, what is the maximum gain of the Rxing antenna?
Derive the vector wave equation in terms of magnetic current source M, hence obtain
the solution for the same.
A horizontal infinitesimal electric dipole of constant current I 0 is placed
symmetrically about the origin and directed along the x-axis. Derive the
a Far-zone fields radiated by the dipole. b) Directivity of the antenna.
