    This document contains 9 problems related to antenna theory and design. The problems cover topics like calculating current, power, and efficiency for a dipole antenna driven by a signal source; determining the directivity of an antenna system; calculating the maximum possible power delivered to a receiver from an incoming wave; and finding the maximum effective aperture of an antenna based on its radiation intensity pattern. The problems also involve calculating received power for different antenna separations and determining antenna gain required to achieve a certain receiver power over long distances.

    Sheet (4)

    1) A 1 m long dipole antenna is driven by a 150 MHz source having a source resistance
    of 50 ohms and a voltage of 100 v. If the ohmic resistance of the antenna is given by
    RL  0.625 and the input impedance is 73  j 42.5 ohms. Find the:
    (a) Current going into the antenna I ant 
    (b) Power dissipated by the antenna
    (c) Power radiated by the antenna
    (d) Conduction-Dielectric efficiency of the antenna

    2) An antenna has a maximum effective aperture of 2.147 m 2 at its operating frequency


    of 100 MHz. it has no conduction or dielectric loss. The input impedance of the antenna
    itself is of 75 ohms, and it is connected to a 50 ohms transmission line. Find the
    directivity of the antenna system ("systems" means: including any effects of connection
    to the transmission line). Assume no polarization losses.

    3) An incoming wave, with uniform power density equal to 103 W / m 2 is incident


    normally upon a lossless horn antenna whose directivity is 20 dB. At a frequency of 10
    GHz, determine the very maximum possible power that can be expected to be delivered
    to a receiver or a load connected to the horn antenna. There are no losses between the
    antenna and the receiver or load.

    4) The radiationintensity of an antenna can be approximated by

    Determine the maximum effective aperture (in m 2 ) of the antenna if its frequency of
    operation is of 10 GHz.

    5) A communication satellite is in stationary (synchronous) orbit about the earth (assume
    altitude of 22,300 status miles). Its transmitter generates 8 W. Assume the transmitting
    antenna is isotropic. Its signal is received by the 210 ft diameter tracking paraboloidal
    antenna on the earth at the NASA tracking station at Goldstone, California. Also assume
    no resistive losses in either antenna, perfect polarization match, and perfect impedance
    match at both antennas. At a frequency of 2 GHz, determine the:
    (a) Power density incident on the receiving antenna
    (b) Power received by the ground based antenna whose gain is 60 dB

    6) Two X-band (8.2 – 12.4 GHz) rectangular horns, with aperture dimensions of 5.5 cm
    and 7.4 cm and each with a gain of 16.3 dB (over isotropic) at 10 GHz, are used as
    transmitting and receiving antennas. Assuming that the input power is 200 mW, the
    VSWR of each is 1.1, the conduction-dielectric efficiency is 100 %, and the antennas are
    polarization matched, find the maximum received power when the horns are separated in
    air by:
    (a) 5 m (b) 50 m (c) 500 m

    7) Two lossless, polarization matched antennas are aligned for maximum radiation
    between them, and are separated by a distance of 50 . The antennas are matched to their
    transmission lines and have directivities of 20 dB. Assuming that the power at the input
    terminals of the transmitting antenna is 10 W, find the power at the terminals of the
    receiving antenna.

    8) Repeat problem 8 for two antennas with 30 dB directivities and separated by 100 .
    The power at the input terminals is 20 W.

    9) In a long range microwave communication system operating at 9 GHz, the


    transmitting and receiving antennas are identical, and they are separated by 10,000 m. to
    meet the signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver, the receiver power must be at least 10 W .
    Assuming the two antennas are aligned for maximum reception to each other, including
    being polarization matched, what should the gain (in dB) of the transmitting and
    receiving antennas be when the input power to the transmitting antenna is 10 W?
