Q 1. Calculate the directivity of an isotropic antenna.

Q 2. The radiation resistance of an antenna is 72Ω and loss resistance is 8 Ω. What is it’s
directivity, if the power gain is 16?

Q 3. A thin dipole antenna is λ/15 long. If its loss resisitance is 1.5 Ω, find radiation resistance
and the efficiency.

Q 4. Calculate the power being radiated by an antenna having a radiation resistance of 50 Ω and
is drawing a current of 8 Ampere.

Q 5. How much power does a 50 Ω antenna radiate when fed a current of 5 ampere?

Q 6. An antenna having a gain of 6dB over a reference antenna is radiating 700 watts. Calculate
the power that reference antenna must radiate in order to be equally effective in the most
preferred direction?

Q 7. The radiation resistance of an antenna is 72Ω and loss resistance is 8Ω. What is the
directivity in dB if the power gain is 16.

Q 8. An antenna has a loss resistance 10 Ω, power gain of 20 and directivity 22. Calculate its
radiation resistance.

Q 9. An antenna has a radiation resistance of 72 Ω, a loss resistance of 8 Ω and a power gain of

12dB, Determine the antenna efficiency and its directivity.
