1. For a sphere of radius r, find the solid angle ΩA (in square radians or steradians) of a
spherical cap on the surface of the sphere over the north-pole region defined by spherical
angles of 0𝑜 ≤ θ ≤ 30𝑜 , 0𝑜 ≤ φ ≤ 180𝑜 .
2. Find the total radiated power if the power density is Wi = A0 sin θ/r2, Where A0 is the
peak value of power density and θ is the usual spherical coordinate.
3. Find the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) and first-null beamwidth (FNBW), in radians
and degrees, for the following normalized radiation intensities:

(a) U(θ) = cos (θ) (b) U(θ) = cos2 (θ)

(c) U(θ) = cos (2θ) (d) U(θ) = cos2 (2θ)

For (0𝑜 ≤ θ ≤ 90𝑜 , 0𝑜 ≤ φ ≤ 360𝑜 ).

ii. Half-power beam width (in degrees).

b) Radiated power is 125.66 mW
6. A linearly polarized uniform plane wave traveling in the +z direction, with a power
density of 10 mW/m2, is incident upon a CW circularly polarized antenna whose gain is
10 dB at 10 GHz. Find
a) The maximum effective area of the antenna (in square meters)
b) The power (in watts) that will be delivered to a load attached directly to the terminals
of the antenna.

internal impedance is 50 + j25 ohms. Assuming that the peak voltage of the generator is

of the antenna system (“system” meaning includes any effects of connection to the
transmission line). Assume no polarization losses.
