Antenna and Wave Propagation

Assignment I

1. Derive the field components and calculate its radiation resistance of half wave dipole
antenna.
2. Derive the relation between effective aperture, directivity and gain.
3. Explain loop antenna with a sketch and calculate its radiation resistance.

4. Design the radiation pattern of a two element array separated by /2 distance of equal

amplitude and are opposite in phase.

5. Design a four element, end fire array separated by a /2 distance and plot its

radiation pattern (field pattern).
