    This document contains 33 questions about experiments conducted with various antenna types including a monopole, microwave antenna, horn antenna, and dish antenna. The questions probe the directivity, gain, polarization, VSWR, frequency response, and effects of design parameters like spacing of the different antenna designs. Key findings include that the monopole radiates below the ground plane, its gain is higher than a dipole, and feeding with a 90 degree phase difference increases directivity. The dish antenna has high gain and directivity at 1500MHz but its response changes significantly with frequency and spacing.
