Analysis and Design Principles of Microwave Antennas

Assignment - 7 with Solution


Lecture 30 - 44
1. A finite dimension antenna radiates

a. Plane waves
b. Spherical waves
c. Cylindrical waves
d. Rectangular Waves

Solution:
A finite dimension antenna radiates spherical waves.
So, the correct answer is b.

2. What is the following is the statement for “Uniqueness Theorem”

a. “Each point on a primary wavefront can be considered to be a new source os secondary


spherical wave and a secondary wavefront can be constructed as the envelope of these
secondary waves”
b. “ A field a lossy region is uniquely specified by the sources within the region plus the
tangential component of the electric field over the boundary, or the tangential componentof
magnetic field over the boundary, or the former over the part of the boundary and the
later over the rest of the boundary ”
c. Both
d. None of the above

Solution:
The Uniqueness theorem states that, “ A field a lossy region is uniquely specified by the
sources within the region plus the tangential component of the electric field over the boundary,
or the tangential component of magnetic field over the boundary, or the former over the part
of the boundary and the later over the rest of the boundary ”
So, the correct answer is b.

3. A uniform plane wave travelling in the +Z direction, whose magnetic field is expressed as

Hi = ãy Ho e−jkz

impinges upon an aperture on an infinite, flat, perfect electric conductor whose cross section

is indicated in figure. State the equivalent that must be used to determine the fields radiated
by the aperture to the right of the conductor (z > 0).
a. 
−2n̂ × Ha = −2ây ηHo Over aperture
Js =
0 elsewhere
b. 
−2n̂ × Ha = −2ây ηHo Over aperture
Ms =
0 elsewhere
c. 
−2n̂ × Ea = −2ây ηHo Over aperture
Js =
0 elsewhere
d. 
−2n̂ × Ea = −2ây ηHo Over aperture
Ms =
0 elsewhere
Solution:
For a uniform plane wave,
Ea = âx ηHo e−jkz z=0
= âx ηHo

So the equivalent is given as



−2n̂ × Ea = −2ây ηHo Over aperture
Ms =
0 elsewhere

So, the correct answer is d.

4. For a rectangular aperture mounted on an infinite ground plane, compute the directivity
when a = b = 3λ

a. 12.55 dB
b. 120.35 dB
c. 113.1 dB
d. 20.53 dB

Solution:
For a rectangular aperture mounted on an infinite ground plane
4π
Directivity = D = ab
λ2
= 4π(32 )
= 113.1
= 20.53 dB

So, the correct answer is d.

5. For a rectangular aperture mounted on an infinite ground plane as shown in figure(with


a = 4λ, b = 3λ), compute the E-plane null to null beamwidth in degrees

a. 68.4◦
b. 38.2◦
c. 83.6◦
d. 33.2◦

Solution:
The E-plane null to null beamwidth is given by
λ
θn to n = 114.6
b
= 114.6 × (1/3)
= 38.2◦

So, the correct answer is b.

6. For an aperture in infinite ground plane, find the E-plane third null position if a = 5λ and
b = 6λ

a. 60◦
b. 45◦
c. 30◦
d. 90◦

Solution:
The E-plane null occurs at
nλ 
θn = 57.3 sin−1
b
3λ 
= 57.3 sin−1
6λ
1
= 57.3 sin−1
2
= 30◦

So, the correct answer is c.

7. Find the half-power beamwidth for a X-band waveguide aperture in infinite ground plane
(WR-90, 0.9inch × 0.4inch) at 18GHz .

a. 66.4◦
b. 60.8◦
c. 76.4◦
d. 39.9◦

Solution:
For a X-band waveguide a = 0.9 inch = 2.286 cm = 0.02286 m and b = 0.4 inch =
1.016 cm = 0.01016 m
The half power beamwidth is given by
Θh = 50.8(λ/b)
0.0166
= 50.8
0.01016
= 50.8 × 1.307
= 66.4◦

So, the correct answer is a.

ground plane is

b. ab/2
c. ab/3
d. ab/4
Solution:
The maximum effective aperture of an waveguide aperture in an infinite ground plane is area

c. -13.26 dB
d. 10dB
Solution:
The first side lobe maximum (with respect to main lobe) for an aperture in infinite ground
plane is at -13.26dB.
