2.9. You are an antenna engineer and you are asked to design a high directivity/gain antenna for a space-borne communication system operating at 10 GHz. The specifications of the antenna are such that its pattern consists basically of one major lobe and, for simplicity, no minor lobes (if there are any minor lobes they are of such very low intensity and you can assume they are negligible/zero). Also it is desired that the pattern is symmetrical in the azimuthal plane. In order to meet the desired objectives, the main lobe of the pattern should have a half-power beamwidth of 10 degrees. In order to expedite the design, it is assumed that the major lobe of the normalized radiation intensity of the antenna is approximated by U(0, 4) = cos"(0) and it exists only in the upper hemisphere (0 <0 < x/2,0 <¢ < 2n). Determine the: (a) Value of n (not necessarily an integer) to meet the specifications of the major lobe. Keep 5 significant figures in your calculations. (b) Exact maximum directivity…

Question 1 In this homework, you are supposed to design a WBFM generator using Armstrong method. The required WBFM should be able to transmit an audio signal of bandwidth 50HZ to 4kHz. Design an Armstrong indirect FM modulator to generate an FM signal with carrier 100 MHz and Af 200 kHz. A narrowband FM generator with fe = 100 kHz and 4f = 10 Hz is available. Only frequency tripplers are available as frequency multipliers. In addition, an oscillator with adjustable frequency from 22 to 26 MHz is also available for mixing, along with bandpass filters of any specification. Show your work to get full credit (labelled block diagram, complete calculations for local oscillator frequency etc.).
