1. Your cell phone transmits at a power level of 500 mW, with an antenna gain of 2.0 dB. The
cell tower has an antenna gain of 8.0 dB, and is a distance of 5 miles away. For LTE, you’re
transmitting at 700 MHz. Will your signal make it to the tower and will it have sufficient
power to “close the link” and allow you communicate? Or will you suffer the fate of a cellular
“dead zone”? (note: 1 mile = 1.609 km, and consider −105 dBm as the minimum power
required to be able to “close the link”)
2. The radiation intensity of unidirectional antenna is given by
π

choice.

the directivity is 10.
5. A half-wavelength dipole is made of copper ( σ =5.7 x 107 s/m ). Determine the radiation

7. Consider an isotropic antenna radiating in free space. At a distance 100m from the antenna, the
electric field E is found to be 10 V/m. What is the total power radiated?
8. The total power delivered to the radiator of an isotropic antenna is 200,000 watts. Determine
the power density at a distance of 100m.
9. A 2 m long center feed dipole antenna operates in the AM broadcast band at 1MHz. the dipole

a. Determine the radiation efficiency of the antenna.
b. What is the antenna gain in decibels?
c. What antenna current is required so that the antenna will radiate 20W? And how much
power will the generator have to supply to the antenna.
10. An antenna operates at 100MHz, has a directivity of D= 24, and radiates a total of 80W.

antenna
b) Find the peak radiation intensity
c) Find the maximum electric and magnetic field at distance of 100m.
d) Is this distance is in far –field?
