11. A plane wave is incident on a short dipole with same polarization and current on the dipole is assumed constant and in phase over its entire length and the terminating resistance Rr is assumed equal to the dipole radiation resistance R, the antenna loss resistance is assumed equal to zero. What is a) the dipole's maximum effective aperture and b) its directivity?
12. Calculate the exact directivity of a unidirectional antenna if the normalized power pattern is given by a) P_n = cos ? b) P_n = sin² ?. in all cases these patterns are unidirectional (in + Z direction) with having P_n having a value only for Zenith angle 0 = ? = 90 and with P_n = 0 for 90 = ? = 180. The patterns are independent of the azimuth angle ?.
13. Derive an expression for E(f) for an array of two identical (non-isotropic) out of phase point sources separated by a distance of d = ?/2, each source having normalized field pattern in the f plane is given by sin f. Also plot, approximately, normalized filed pattern.
14. Calculate the gain, FNBW and HPBW of parabolic reflector antenna which is operating at 10 GHz and diameter of its circular aperture is 6 ?.
15. The refractive index of an ionospheric layer is 0.8 and MUF is 9 MHz. If the height of the ionospheric layer is 400 km above the earth's surface, then find out the maximum electron density, critical frequency and distance between transmitter and receiver assuming that earth's surface is flat.
