Also, root does not lies between 0 and 1 If the above equation have complex roots,
So, the method diverges if x = 2 then they must be in complex conjugate

Answer Keys and Explanations

1. [Ans. A]
So gain = 0.7 × 6 ×( )
Since antenna is installed at conducting
ground, = 18.67×
= 42.7 dB.
= ( )

= = , = 5. [Ans. C]
Hertz dipole radiation field, Eθ ∝ sin θ
= ( ) HPBW in the E-plane is shown in Fig.
below:
= =
θ= 0

2. [Ans. B] = at θ = = at θ =
√ √
Gain of antenna is directive gain i.e.
different from that of amplifier. It radiates
same power, so 1W.
HPBW

3. [Ans. B]
The radiation pattern of the dipole ( / ) θ= 0 θ= 0

kept horizontally above perfectly


∴ alf power Beam Width = 0
conducting ground at different heights.

6. [Ans. A]
|F(θ)|
Directi it =
|F(θ)|
|F(θ)| =
/

d= / |F(θ)| = ∫ ∫ cos θ sin θ dθd


y
= [ ] [ ∫ t dt] =

Directi it = =

d= / z
= log = dB

7. [Ans. *] Range 47.6 to 47.8
Average power density at 1 km distance
=
d= z
=

4. [Ans. D] =
Gain = 6( ) = ( ) ower densit ∝ /d
