The directive gain Gd(θ, φ) depends on the antenna pattern. For a Hertzian dipole, Pavg is maximum at θ = π/2 and minimum at θ = 0 or π. For an isotropic antenna, Gd(θ, φ) = 1. The directive gain Gd(θ, φ) can be defined as:

Which of the following is NOT a primary inherent characteristic of an antenna?

The radiation pattern of an antenna in spherical coordinates is given by F(θ) = cos4(θ), where 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2. The directivity of the antenna is:

Arrange the following antennas in ascending order of their radiation resistance: A. Short dipole (L = λ 10 ) with constant current distribution (I av = I 0 ) B. Short dipole (L = λ 10 ) with triangular current distribution (I av = I 0 2 ) C. Linear half-wave dipole ( λ 2 dipole) with sinusoidal current distribution D. Small square loop antenna of single turn with side length L = λ 10 Choose the correct order from the options given below:
