ROLL NO, vevcerserees eaceases 2204 B. E. 5th Sem. (ECE) Examination — December, 2013 ANTEENA AND WAVE PROPAGATION 'E' Scheme Paper : EE-307-E Time : Three hours] [ Maximum Marks : 100 Before answering the questions, candidates should ensure that they have been supplied the correct and complete question paper. Ne complain in this regard, will be entertained after examination. Note: All questions carry equal marks. Attempt any five questions. 1. (a) What do you mean by radiation mechanism of an antenna ? Also discuss the basic antenna elements. 10 (b) Explain in detail field and patter of an infinitesimal dipole. 10 2. Show that currents and voltages at the terminals of two antennas satisfy reciprocity theorem of circuit theory. Use the theorem to prove that the effective length of an antenna used in transmission and in receiving is equal. 20 2204-1450-(P-3)(@-8) (13) P.T.0.-3. (a) Discuss the various potentials used in antenna theory, 10 (b) Drive wave equation for radiated fields from current and voltage source in terms of electric scalar and magnetic vector Potential. 10 4. (a) Explain the relation between current distribution and field pattern of an antenna. 10 (b) Explain in detail about the mutual impedance. 10 5. What is a broadside array? Explain in detail the structure, radiation Pattern and principle of operation of such an antenna. How does radiation pattem get modified if the Spacing of the elements of the array is changed? ; 20 6. (a) Explain the operating principle of microwave * antenna with diagram. 10 (b) A parabolic antenna having a circular mouth is to have a power gain of 1000 at A. = 10 om Estimate the diameter of the mouth and the half Power beam width of the antenna. . 10 7. (a) A high frequency radio link has to establish between two points on the earth 200km away. The reflection region of the ionosphere is at a height of 200 km and has a critical frequency of 6 Mhz. calculate the MUF for the given path. 15 ) Write a short note on Duct Propagation, 5 2204-1450-(P-3)(Q-8) (13) (2)8. Write short on any two : 10x2=20 (a) Space wave propagation (b) Radiation resistance (c) Horn antenna
