A horn antenna with an area of 4π cm² receives 8 µW/m² intensity from a distance transmitter. What intensity would it receive from reflection off a one-meter-diameter parabolic dish?
You have decided to increase the detection range of your iphone14 with a high- gain, directional parabolic dish antenna to be able to access more distant cell towers (somewhat more difficult to get into your pocket or purse, however). A 3m-diameter parabolic dish is readily available commercially, and the desired sinusoidal radio signal specification is for Emax = 0.10 μV/m. Assume the antenna absorbs all the radiation that is captured by the dish (100% efficiency): a. What is the amplitude...
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...
