SECTION-A (10 Marks)

Q.1 A. what is meant by retarded potentials? Determine the directivity and gain of a short dipole.
B. Derive an expression for the power radiated by a current element.
Q.2 for a small current element radiator derive the relation for magnetic and electric field
components. Also derive the relation for the radiation resistance.
SECTION-B (10 Marks)
Q.3 what is broad side array? Find the width of principle lobe for n element uniform broad side
array. Explain the importance of binomial array. How can this produce pattern without lobe?
Q.4 A. Explain the principle of pattern multiplication.
B. A uniform linear array is required to produce an end fire beam when it is operated at a frequency
of 10 GHz. It contains 50 radiators and are spaced at 0.5λ. Find the progressive phase shift required
to produce the end fire beam. Also find the array length.
