Power gain is defined as the ratio of maximum power radiated by a test antenna to the maximum power radiated by a reference antenna. 2.What is the significance of radiation resistance of an antenna? (APRIL/MAY 2011) It is defined as the fictitious resistance which when inserted in series with the antenna will consume the same amount of power as it is actually radiated. The antenna appears to the transmission line as a resistive component and this is known as the radiation resistance. The radiation resistance of a half wave dipole is given by Rr=73 ohm 3.Define effective aperture of an antenna. (NOV/DEC 2011) It is the area over which the power is extracted from the incident wave and delivered to the load is called effective aperture. 4. Define antenna efficiency? (NOV/DEC 2011) The efficiency of an antenna is defined as the ratio of power radiated to the total input power supplied to the antenna. Antenna efficiency = Power radiated / Total input power
2 5.What is meant by reciprocity Theorem.? (NOV/DEC 2009) If an e.m.f is applied to the terminals of an antenna no.1 and the current measured at the terminals of the another antenna no.2, then an equal current both in amplitude and phase will be obtained at the terminal of the antenna no.1 if the same emf is applied to the terminals of antenna no2. 6.Define Half power Beam width. (NOV/DEC2012) HPBW is the angular width measured on the major lobe of radiation pattern between points where the radiated power has fallen to half of its maximum value. It is otherwise called as 3 db beamwidth. 7.What are field and Power pattern in antenna radiation pattern? (NOV/DEC 2013) If the radiation from the antenna is expressed in terms of the field strength in spherical coordinate system, then the radiation pattern is called Field pattern. If the radiation from the antenna is expressed in terms of the power per unit area, then the radiation pattern is called Field pattern. 8.What are the dbi and dbd? Write their significance.(nov/dec 2013) dbi and dbd are used to measure the focusing power (gain) of antennas. MaxStream specifies all antennas in dbi only. dbi is a measurement that compares the gain of an antenna with respect to an isotropic radiator (a theoretical antenna that disperses incoming energy evenly over the surface of an imaginary sphere.) dbd compares the gain of an antenna to the gain of a reference dipole antenna (defined as 2.15 dbi gain). 9.Draw E plane and H plane radiation pattern of a dipole. (may/june 2014)
3 10.Define directivity and effective aperture of an antenna. (may/june 2012) The directivity of an antenna is equal to the ratio of the maximum power density P(θ,φ) max to its average value over a sphere as observed in the far field of an antenna. D = P(θ,φ)max / P(θ,φ)av. Directivity from Pattern. D = 4π / ΩA.. Directivity from beam area(ωa ) 11.What is an elementary dipole and how does is differ from the infinitesimal dipole.(may/june 2013) The infinitesimal dipole is a dipole whose length l is much smaller than the wavelength λ of the excited wave, i.e. l<<λ (Δl< λ< 50). The infinitesimal dipole is equivalent to a current element I l, where I l=dq/dt* l 12.What is the effective half wave dipole operating at 1 GHz? (may/june 2013) The half-wave dipole antenna is just a special case of the dipole antenna, but its important enough that it will have its own section. Note that the "half-wave" term means that the length of this dipole antenna is equal to a half-wavelength at the frequency of operation. To make it crystal clear, if the antenna is to radiate at 1 GHz, what size should the halfwavelength dipole be? One wavelength at 1 GHz is λ= c / f = 0.3 meters. Hence, the half-wavelength dipole antenna's length is 0.15 meters. 13. Define self impedance (APRIL/MAY 2011) Self impedance of an antenna is defined as its input impedance with all other antennas are completely removed i.e away from it. 14.Define Aperture efficiency.(nov/dec 2010) The ratio of the effective aperture to the physical aperture is the aperture efficiency. i.e Aperture efficiency = η ap = A e / A p (dimensionless).
4 15.Define Directivity.(NOV/DEC 2009) The directivity of an antenna is equal to the ratio of the maximum power density P(θ,φ) max to its average value over a sphere as observed in the far field of an antenna. D = P(θ,φ)max / P(θ,φ)av. Directivity from Pattern. D = 4π / ΩA.. Directivity from beam area(ωa ) 16.What is meant by cross field?(april/may 2013) Normally the electric field E is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In some situation the electric field E is parallel to the wave propagation that condition is called Cross field 17.Define Beam efficiency. (NOV/DEC 2009) The total beam area ( WA) consists of the main beam area (W M ) plus the minor lobe area (W m). Thus WA= WM+W m. The ratio of the main beam area to the total beam area is called beam efficiency. Beam efficiency = SM=W M/ W A. 18.Define mutual impedance.(april/may 2012) The presence of near by antenna no.2 induces a current in the antenna no.1 indicates that presence of antenna no.2 changes the impedance of the antenna no.1.this effect is called mutual coupling and results in mutual impedance. 19.What is meant by isotropic radiator?(april/may 2012) A isotropic radiator is a fictitious radiator and is defined as a radiator which radiates fieldsuniformly in all directions. It is also called as isotropic source or omni directional radiator or simply unipole. 20.What is meant by effective height? The effective height h of an antenna is the parameter related to the aperture.it may be defined as the ratio of the induced voltage to the incident field. H= V / E. 21.What is meant by front to back ratio.? It is defined as the ratio of the power radiated in desired direction to the power radiated in
5 the opposite direction. i.e FBR = Power radiated in desired direction / power radiated in the opposite direction 22.Define different types of aperture. Effective aperture(a e ).: It is the area over which the power is extrated from the incident wave and delivered to the load is called effective aperture. Scattering aperture(a s.): It is the ratio of the reradiated power to the power density of the incident wave. Loss aperture. (A e ).: It is the area of the antenna which dissipates power as heat. Collecting aperture. (A e ).: It is the addition of above three apertures. Physical aperture. (A p ).: This aperture is a measure of the physical size of the antenna. 23.Define an antenna. Antenna is a transition device or a transducer between a guided wave and a free space wave or vice versa. Antenna is also said to be an impedance transforming device. 24.What are the field zone? The fields around an antenna ay be divided into two principal regions. i. Near field zone (Fresnel zone) ii. Far field zone (Fraunhofer zone) 25.What is meant by Polarization? The polarization of the radio wave can be defined by direction in which the electric vector E is aligned during the passage of atleast one full cycle. Also polarization can also be defined the physical orientation of the radiated electromagnetic waves in space. The polarization are three types. They are Elliptical polarization,circular polarization and linear polarization. 26.What is meant by Beam Area.? The beam area or beam solid angle or Ω A of an antenna is given by the normalized power pattern over a sphere. Ω A = 4π P n ( θ,φ ) dω Where dω = Sin θ d θ.dφ 27. State Poynting theorem.

(APRIL/MAY 2011) i. Used in radio receivers ii. Used in aircraft receivers iii. Used in direction finding iv. Used in WHF transmitter 2.Define pattern multiplication. (APRIL/MAY 2011)(NOV/DEC 2011) The total field pattern of an array of non isotropic but similar sources is the product of the i) individual source pattern and ii) The array pattern of isotropic point sources each located at the phase center of the individual source having the same amplitude and phase. While the total phase pattern is the sum of the phase patterns of the individual source pattern and array pattern. 3.Why is loop antenna called as magnetic dipole? (NOV/DEC 2011) The small loop antenna is also known as a magnetic loop since it behaves electrically as a coil (inductor) with a small but non-negligible radiation resistance due to its finite size. It can be analyzed as coupling directly to the magnetic field (opposite to the principle of a Hertzian dipole which couples directly to the electric field) in the near field, which itself gives rise to an electric field through Faraday's law of induction and a full blown electromagnetic wave in the far field.. 4.State the principle of pattern Multiplication. (NOV/DEC2012)
8 The pattern multiplication principle states that the radiation patterns of an array of N identical antennas is equal to the product of the element pattern F e pattern of one of the antennas) and the array pattern F a.. where F a is the pattern obtained upon replacing all of the actual antennas with isotropic sources. 5. What are the conditions to obtain end fire array pattern? (NOV/DEC2012) An array is said to be end fire if the phase angle is such that it makes maximum radiation in the line of array i.e. 0degree &180 degree For end fire array Ψ=0 & φ=0 degree & 180 degree 6.Mention the features of radiation pattern multiplication principle. (NOV/DEC2012) Provides a speedy method for sketching the radiation patterns of complicated arrays just by inspection. 7.Compare short dipole from half wave dipole. (may/june 2014) The short dipole antenna is one that is short when compared to a wavelength at the operating frequency. Typically a short dipole antenna is taken to be one that is less than a tenth of a wavelength long. However this is very much a 'rule of thumb' and slightly different definitions may appear in various quarters. The short dipole antenna consists of two co-linear conductors that are placed end to end, but with a small gap between them for the feeder. The half wave dipole is the most widely used version of the dipole antenna or aerial. As the name implies, the half wave dipole is a half wavelength long. The antenna is the shortest resonant length that can be used for a resonant dipole. 8.What are the advantages of antenna arrays? (may/june 2014) They can provide the capability of a steerable beam (radiation direction change) as in smart antennas. They can provide a high gain (array gain) by using simple antenna elements. They provide a diversity gain in multipath signal reception. They enable array signal processing. 9.Calculate the radiaton resistance of λ/8 wire dipole in free space. (may/june 2012) 10.what is Hansen-Woodyard array (may/june 2012)
9 One of the shortcomings of end-fire arrays (EFA) is their relatively broad HPBW as compared to broadside arrays. To enhance the directivity of an end-fire array, Hansen and Woodyard proposed that the phase shift of an ordinary EFA. Beta=+_ Kd 11. What is meant by array.? An antenna is a system of similar antennas oriented similarly to get greater directivity in a desired direction 12.

Eg. Omnidirectional antenna. 13.What is Parasitic array.? In this array the elements are fed parasitically to reduce the problem of feed line. The power is given to one element from that other elements get by electro magnetic coupling. Eg. Yagi uda antenna 14.What is the need for the Binomial array.? i). In uniform linear array as the array length is increased to increase the directivity, the secondarylobes also occurs. ii) For certain applications, it is highly desirable that secondary lobes should be eliminatedcompletely or reduced to minimum desirable level compared to main lobes. 16.What is meant by similar Point sources.? Whenever the variation of the amplitude and the phase of the field with respect to the absolute angle for any two sources are same then they are called similar point sources. The maximum amplitudes 17.What are Electrically Small loop antennas?(nov/dec 2009) Electrically Small loop antennas is one in which the overall length of the loop is less than onetenth of the wavelength. Electrically Small loop antennas have small radiation resistances that are usually smaller than their loop resistances. They are very poor radiators and seldom employed for transmission in radio communication. 18.What is duality of antenna.?
10 It is defined as an antenna is a circuit device with a resistance and temperature on the one hand and the space device on the other with radiation patterns, beam angle,directivity gain and aperture. 19. Distinguish between Active and passive arrays.(nov/dec 2010) Active Arrays consists of elements of which is driven by a physical feed. Passive arrays consists of one element actively driven and others couple to it electromagnetically through the near field. 20. Distinguish between isotropic source and omni directional source.(nov/dec 2010) An isotropic source radiates equally in all directions in both azimuth and elevation angles. Power density is uniformly distributed around a large sphere centered on the antenna. 21. What is a Short Dipole? A short dipole is one in which the field is oscillating because of the oscillating voltage and current. It is called so, because the length of the dipole is short and the current is almost constant throughtout the entire length of the dipole. It is also called as Hertzian Dipole which is a hypothetical antenna and is defined as a short isolated conductor carrying uniform alternating current. 22. List the arrays used for array tapering Binomial Array:Tapering follows the coefficient of binomial series Dolph Tchebycheff Array: Tapering follows the coefficient of Tchebycheff polynomial 23.What is the difference between isotropic and non- isotropic source Isotropic source radiates energy in all directions but non-isotropic source radiates energy only in some desired directions. Isotropic source is not physically realizable but non-isotropic source is physically realizable. 24.Define Side Lobe Ratio Side Lobe Ratio is defined as the ratio of power density in the principal or main lobe to the power density of the longest minor lobe.

(NOV/DEC 2011) i. Flexible in design ii. Feed and feed support do not obstruct the aperture iii. Used for wide frequency range 5.What are the merits and applications of offset feed reflector antenna?(nov/dec 2012) High gain: Parabolic reflector antennas are able to provide very high levels of gain. The larger the 'dish' in terms of wavelengths, the higher the gain. High directivity: As with the gain, so too the parabolic reflector or dish antenna is able to provide high levels of directivity. The higher the gain, the narrower the beamwidth. This can be a significant advantage in applications where the power is only required to be directed over a small area. This can prevent it, for example causing interference to other users, and this is important when communicating with satellites because it enables satellites using the same frequency bands to be separated by distance or more particularly by angle at the antenna. 6.What are the features of slot antenna? (NOV/DEC2012)
13 The slot antenna consists of a radiator formed by cutting a narrow slot in a large metal surface. The shape and size of the slot, as well as driving frequency determine the radiation pattern. Slot antennas are often used at UHF and microwave frequencies instead of line antennas when greater control of the radiation pattern is required. Slot antennas are widely used in radar antennas, for the sector antennas used for cell phone base stations, and are often found in standard desktop microwave sources used for research purposes. 7.Mention any two application of helical antenna. (NOV/DEC2012) i.used in radio astronomy. ii.used for satellite and space communication. 8. what is called method of imaging?

(may/june 2014) The field equivalence principle replaces an aperture antenna with equivalent currents that produce radiation fields equivalent to those from the antenna. 10.State uniqueness theorem. (may/june 2012) Uniquencess theorem states that for a given set of sources and boundary conditions in a lossy medium, the solution to maxwell's equation is unique. Consider a source free Volume V in an isotropic homogeneous medium bounded by a surface S. Let(E1,H1) be the fields inside the
14 volume V. The fields are produced by a set of sources external to the volume V. Let (E2,H2) be another possible set of fields in the volume V. 11.What are the field zones? (may/june 2012) In general, the space surrounding an antenna is divided into field regions or Zones defined as: near-field region (reactive/evanescent near-field), radiating (Fresnel) near-field, transition zone (intermediate-field region) and the far-field (Fraunhofer) region. 12. What is a Short Dipole? A short dipole is one in which the field is oscillating because of the oscillating voltage and current. It is called so, because the length of the dipole is short and the current is almost constant throughtout the entire length of the dipole. It is also called as Hertzian Dipole which is a hypothetical antenna and is defined as a short isolated conductor carrying uniform alternating current. 13.what are the advantages of stepped dielectric lens antenna? i) It is mechanically strong ii) Reduced weight iii) Less power dissipated 14. Mention the uses of lens antenna? i) Unstepped dielectric lens is a wideband antenna as its shape does not depend on the wavelength and hence it can be used over a wide frequency range. However this is not true for dielectric lens antenna which is frequency sensitive. Typical bandwidth for unstepped and stepped lens antennas are 12% and 5% respectively. ii) both reflectors and lens antennas are commonly used above 1000MHz. Lens antenna is microwave device.

It provides gain of the order of 8db or front to back ratio of about 20 db. If three elements array(i.e.,one reflector,one driven element and one director)is used,then such type of yagi-uda antenna is generally referred to as beam antenna. Log periodic antenna: For unidirectional log periodic antenna,the structure fires in backward direction and forward direction is very small or zero.

Why folded dipole antenna is used in Yagi Uda antenna? The folded dipole has high input impedence. If the distance between driven and parasitic element is reduced, it will load the driven element, so input impedance of driven element reduces. But this will be compensated i.e., raised by folded dipole. 13. What is beam antenna?

(April/May 2011)(Nov/Dec 2011) Any linearly polarized wave may be considered as the vector sum of two anti rotating circularly polarized waves. If such a wave propagates in the direction of magnetic field,then the two circularly polarized components will travel at different phase velocities and thus the plane of polarization will rotate with distance. This phenomenon is known as Faraday's rotation. 3.Define critical frequency?(nov/dec 2011) The critical frequency fc of an ionized layer is defined as the highest frequency which can be reflected by a particular layer at vertical incidence. It is different for different layer. Fc=9 root of Nm Mhz Where,Nm->Maximum electron density in the layer. 4.What is meant by skip distance?(nov/dec 2012) Skip distance defined as the minimum distance from the transmitter at which a skywave of given frequency is returned to earth by the ionosphere. 5.What is gyro frequency?(nov/dec 2012) Gyro frequency fg is defined as the frequency whose period is equal to the period of revolution of an electron in its circular orbit under the influence of earth s magnetic flux B. Fg=Be/2pi m. 6.Differentiate virtual height from actual height? (May/June 2014) The virtual height will always be greater than actual height.if the virtual height is known,it is easy to calculate the angle of incidence required for the wave to return to earth at a desired point.
22 7.Define skip distance and virtual height? (May/June 2012) Skip distance:skip distance as the minimum distance from the transmitter at which a sky wave of given frequency is retured to earth by the ionosphere. Virtual height: Virtual height is defined as the height to which a short pulse of energy sent vertically upward and travelling with the speed of light would reach taking the same two ways travel time as does the actual pulse reflected from the layer. 8. What is sporadic E layer in Ionosphere? Sporadic E layer is an anomolous ionization layer in Ionosphere. It is usually occur in the form of clouds, varying size from 1km to several 100 km across 9. Define Whistlers. Whistlers are the transient electromagnetic disturbances which occurs naturally. 10. Mention the types of whistlers. i. Long whistlers ii. Short whistlers iii. Noise whistlers 11. Define LOS distance. Line of Sight distance is a distance in which both the transmitting and receiving antenna can usually see each other. 12. What are the 2 components present in spacewave? i. Direct wave ii. Indirect wave 13. What is Multi Hop Propagation? The converge of transmission distance between transmitter an d receiver in more than on hop (jump) is called as multi hop propagation.
