Antenna Solved Exam 2016

This document contains an exam for an elective course on antenna propagation from Fayoum University's Department of Electrical Engineering. The midterm exam has 6 questions worth a total of 25 points. The questions cover topics like radiation intensity of antennas, far-field magnetic field intensity, radiation efficiency and gain of dipole antennas, directivity equations, and calculating received power given transmitted power, frequency, antenna gains and distance. The document provides the questions but not the solutions, which are presumably provided separately.

Elective Course (1) Antenna Propagation, 2016
Please show all your work for more rational grading.
1. [4 points] Radiation intensity of the antenna is given by:

0 /9
1

1
U , 0.342
/9 /3

sin

0
/3
0 2
(a) Find the total radiated power
(b) Directivity of the antenna (dimensionless and in dB)
2. [4 points] A transmitting antenna produces a maximum far-field magnetic field

intensity in a certain direction given by:

50 I j t jkr
e
r

A m

where I is the peak input current at the antenna. The radiation resistance (or input
resistance) of the lossless antenna is 100 . Find the effective aperture of the
antenna.
3. [6 points] A 2-m-long center-fed dipole antenna operates in the AM broadcast

band at 1 MHz. The dipole is made of copper wire with a radius of 1 mm.
(a) Determine the radiation efficiency of the antenna.
(b) What is the antenna gain in dB?
(c) What antenna current is required so that the antenna would radiate 80 W,

and how much power will the generator have to supply to the antenna?
4. [4 points] The directivity of an antenna pattern is given by the following equation:

D , Do sin 3
(a) What should the value of the constant Do be in order to be a valid

directivity?
(b) What is the half power beamwidth of this antenna?

5. [3 points] Calculate the power received by a cellular telephone antenna of gain 1

dBi from a base station radiating 25 W of power at a frequency of 835 MHz. it is


given that the gain of the base station antenna is 12 dBi, and the base station is
located at a distance of 10 Km from the user of the cell phone.
6. [4 points] A standard FM tower sends 50 kW at 100 MHz. The FM tower antenna

gain is 7 dB - they are designed not to radiate up in the air and more in a horizontal
cone. You are 10 kms away from the transmitter.
(a) Calculate the path loss to your location (in dB).
(b) You are carrying an FM receiver in your cell phone with a miserable antenna

having a gain of -15 dB. Calculate the received power.
