Homework #2 Solution: All All

This document contains Matlab code that models the radiation pattern of an antenna with different dipole lengths (L). It calculates the radiation factor (Ftheta) and plots the antenna radiation pattern in polar coordinates for L = 0.04λ, 0.5λ, and 1.25λ. The code also plots the half power beamwidth circle on each graph. Additionally, the document provides the solution to a homework problem calculating the electric field strength at two locations from a transmitting antenna.

5. A certain antenna installation using a transmitting frequency of 1250KHz


uses an insulated vertical tower of height 200f t. For a 25kW transmitter
power, calculate the electric field strength at a location A at a distance of
25km.
Calculate also the field strength at a location B that is 5km vertically above
location A (Note that 6= 90 for location B).

Solution:
