Antennas and wave propagation MID-TERM Exam (25 marks 60 minutes) Answer the following question within the same paper
(1) Define the following terms : Radiation pattern , Isotropic antenna , and Half power beam width (HPBW) .(3 marks) (2) Find the radiation resistance of hemi-spherical antenna has a field pattern 60 I given by E = ( ) Vm-1, where I is the terminal current (A), r is the r distance (m). (4 marks). (3) Consider a point source with Unidirectional Cosinen power pattern, construct the total power radiated from the source, and then calculate the directivity by the exact method and the approximate method. (6 marks). (4) Calculate the Directivity from the HPBW of an antenna (Approximate method) , if the radiation intensity is given by : U ( , ) = BoCos4Sin3 where 0 0 and zero otherwise. Then (b) re-calculate the directivity using the exact formula (c) Calculate the value of Bo if the radiated power is 16W. (12 marks) *********************************************************************** (1) Radiation pattern: a graphical representation of antenna parameters as a function of spherical coordinates. (2) Isotropic antenna : a theoretical point source that radiates uniformly in all directions. (3) Half power beam width (HPBW): The angle across the main lobe of an antenna pattern between the two directions at which the power becomes half of its 1 maximum value, or field become ( ) of its maximum value. 2 *********************************************************************** E2 60 I 2 (2 * r 2 ) (2) P= SA = A= 2 Z r *Z
