Antenna and Wave Propagation

This document contains an exam for an Electronics and Communication Engineering course on Antenna and Wave Propagation. The exam contains two parts: Part A contains 10 short answer questions about topics like quarter-wave monopole antennas, antenna gain and directivity, array patterns, Yagi-Uda antenna components, plasma antennas, and types of signal fading. Part B contains 5 long answer questions requiring derivations and explanations about half-wave dipole radiation resistance, end-fire array patterns, reflector antenna feed systems, loop antenna radiation resistance, ionospheric transmission effects, antenna measurement techniques, and ionospheric transmission measurements.
