Problem 6:An antenna radiates equally in all directions over a half space above a perfectly conductingground plane. The strength of the electric field at 2.2 km from the antenna is 73 dB relativeto one microvolt per meter. Calculate the power radiated and the radiation resistancegiven that the feeding current is 1.2 A (rms)
AM radio waves can be produced by a marconi anthenna, whose length must be one-fourth of the wave's wavelength. What must be the length, in meters, of the antenna to produce a frquency of 630kHz?
A communication system has two identical antennas operated at 6 GHz and aligned for maximum
reception to each other. To allow the receiver antenna to detect the transmitted signal of 25 W over
a distance of 40 km, the receivied signal power must be greater than or equal to -25 dBm. Calculate
the required receiving antenna gain to detect the signal efficintly.
