    • Wire antenna

    • Yagi-uda antenna

    • Half-wave dipole antenna

    • Full wave dipole antenna

    Correct Answer
    A. Half-wave dipole antenna
    Explanation
    A half-wave dipole antenna is a type of wire antenna that is used in radio communication systems. It is called a "half-wave" dipole because its length is equal to half of the wavelength of the signal it is designed to transmit or receive. This length is optimal for efficient radiation and reception of the signal. The half-wave dipole antenna is a commonly used antenna design due to its simplicity and effectiveness in transmitting and receiving signals.

    The field patterns are plotted as a function of

    • Logarithmic scale

    • Electric and magnetic fields

    • Commonly on dB scale

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Electric and magnetic fields
    Explanation
    The field patterns are plotted as a function of electric and magnetic fields. This means that the graphs or plots show the behavior and distribution of these fields in a given system or scenario. The use of a logarithmic scale is common in these plots, as it allows for a better representation of the wide range of field values that can be encountered. The dB scale, which is a logarithmic unit, is often used to quantify and compare the intensity or strength of these fields. Therefore, the correct answer is that the field patterns are plotted as a function of electric and magnetic fields.

    • Directivity

    • Resistivity

    • Impedance

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Directivity
    Explanation
    Directivity refers to the measure of how well an antenna focuses its radiation in a specific direction. It represents the ratio of radiation intensity in a given direction from the antenna to the average radiation intensity over all directions. In other words, it quantifies the ability of the antenna to concentrate its power in a specific direction, rather than radiating it equally in all directions. Therefore, directivity is the correct answer in this context.

    Hertz antenna

    • L = λ/2

    • L = 2λ/2

    • L = λ/4

    • L = λ/6

    Correct Answer
    A. L = λ/2
    Explanation
    The given correct answer, l = λ/2, suggests that the length of the Hertz antenna is equal to half the wavelength (λ) of the signal it is designed to receive or transmit. This is a common design principle for Hertz antennas, as it allows for efficient transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves. By using a length equal to half the wavelength, the antenna can effectively resonate with the incoming or outgoing waves, maximizing its performance.

    A. 72.0 ohm
    Explanation
    The impedance of a dipole antenna is determined by its physical dimensions and the operating frequency. A dipole antenna is a balanced antenna, meaning it has equal currents flowing in opposite directions. The impedance of a dipole antenna is typically around 72 ohms, which is the characteristic impedance of a balanced transmission line. This value ensures efficient power transfer between the antenna and the transmission line. Therefore, the correct answer is 72.0 ohm.

    Correct Answer
    A. Back lobe
    Explanation
    The lobe that is exactly opposite to the direction of the main lobe is known as the back lobe. This lobe is formed due to diffraction and interference of waves, causing radiation in the opposite direction to the main lobe. It is important to minimize the back lobe in antenna design to ensure better directional radiation and reduce interference.

    The radiation of energy when done through a bent wire, the end of such transmission line is termed as

    • Dipole or dipole antenna

    • Monopole antenna

    • Wire antenna

    • None of these  

    Correct Answer
    A. Dipole or dipole antenna
    Explanation
    When energy is radiated through a bent wire, the end of the transmission line is referred to as a dipole or dipole antenna. A dipole antenna consists of two conductive elements, typically straight wires, that are bent at a specific angle. This configuration allows for the efficient transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves. The bent wire acts as a balanced antenna, meaning that it has equal and opposite currents flowing through each element, resulting in a more effective radiation pattern. Therefore, the correct answer is dipole or dipole antenna.

    What is the maximum effective aperture of an antenna with a directivity of 900? The given directivity isD=4πAe.apereture/λ2.

    • 716.0 λ2

    • 7.160 λ2

    • 71. 60λ2

    • 0.7716.0 λ2

    Correct Answer
    A. 71. 60λ2
    Explanation
    The maximum effective aperture of an antenna with a directivity of 900 can be calculated using the formula D = (4πAe.aperture)/λ^2. Rearranging the formula, we get Ae.aperture = (D * λ^2) / (4π). Plugging in the given directivity of 900, we can calculate the maximum effective aperture. The correct answer of 71.60λ^2 is obtained by solving this equation.

    Effective aperture is always ----------- than Physical aperture

    • Higher

    • Lower

    • Both a and b

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Lower
    Explanation
    The effective aperture refers to the actual amount of light that enters the lens and reaches the image sensor. It is determined by factors such as the physical aperture size, the lens design, and any obstructions or limitations in the optical system. The physical aperture, on the other hand, refers to the size of the opening in the lens that controls the amount of light passing through. Since the effective aperture takes into account various factors that can reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor, it is generally lower than the physical aperture.
