Antennas - Exercises - Set 2

This document contains 11 exercise problems related to calculating various antenna parameters such as effective area, aperture, power received, and gain. The problems cover topics like determining the power received by antennas separated by different distances, with varying directivity and gain specifications, operating at frequencies ranging from 600 MHz to 11 GHz. Solutions are provided for calculating maximum effective area, aperture, power levels, and antenna gains based on given directivity, efficiency, wavelength, and transmitter power values.
