1) A linearly polarized wave traveling in the negative z-direction has a tilt angle (𝝉) of 450. It is incident upon an
antenna whose polarization characteristics are given by

Find the polarization loss factor PLF (dimensionless and dB).

2) An elliptically polarized wave traveling in the negative z-direction is received by a circularly polarized antenna
whose main lobe is along the 𝜃 = 0 direction. The unit vector describing the polarization of the incident wave is
given by

Find the polarization loss factor PLF (dimensionless and in dB) when the wave that would be transmitted by the
antenna is
(a) right-hand CP. (b) left-hand CP.

3) A CW circularly polarized uniform plane wave is traveling in the +z direction. Find the polarization loss factor PLF
(dimensionless and in dB) assuming the receiving antenna (in its transmitting mode) is
(a) CW circularly polarized. (b) CCW circularly polarized.

4) A linearly polarized uniform plane wave traveling in the +z direction, with a power density of 10 milliwatts per
square meter, is incident upon a CW circularly polarized antenna whose gain is 10 dB at 10 GHz. Find the
(a) maximum effective area of the antenna (in square meters).
(b) power (in watts) that will be delivered to a load attached directly to the terminals of the antenna.

5) A linearly polarized plane wave traveling along the negative z-axis is incident upon an elliptically polarized antenna
(either CW or CCW). The axial ratio of the antenna polarization ellipse is 2:1 and its major axis coincides with the
principal x-axis. Find the polarization loss factor (PLF) assuming the incident wave is linearly polarized in the
(a) x-direction (b) y-direction

6) A 𝜆/2 dipole, with a total loss resistance of 1 ohm, is connected to a generator whose internal impedance is 50 +
j25 ohms. Assuming that the peak voltage of the generator is 2 V and the impedance of the dipole, excluding the
loss resistance, is 73 + j42.5 ohms, find the power
(a) Supplied by the source (real).
(b) Radiated by the antenna.
(c) Dissipated by the antenna.
Repeat the problem if the antenna and generator are connected via a 50-ohm λ/2- long lossless transmission line.
