Q 1. Calculate in dB the directivity of 20 turn helix having   12 circumference equal to one
wavelength.

Q 2. Calculate the power gain of an optimum horn antenna approximately with a square aperture
of 10λ on a side.

Q 3. Find out the length L and W, and half flare angles  E and  H of a pyramidal horn antenna
for which the mouth height h=10λ. The horn is fed by a rectangular waveguide with TE 10
mode.

Q 4. Find out the power gain in dB of a parabolic reflector of open mouth aperture 10λ.

Q 5. A standard gain horn antenna has power gain of 12.5. This is used to measure the gain of a
large directional antenna by comparison method. The antenna under test is connected to the
receiver and it becomes necessary to introduce an attenuator adjusted to attenuate 23dB, in
order to have the same receiver output that was observed with the horn antenna connected.
Find out the gain of the large antenna either in dB or power ratios.

Q 6. Calculate the physical area of the loop and compare it with its maximum effective aperture,
if the radius of a small loop of constant current is λ/25.
