13) A 1-m-long car radio antenna operates in the AM frequency of 1.5 MHz. How much current is required to transmit 4 W of power?
SOLUTION:
This is a monopole antenna
λ = c / f = (3 x 108) / (1.5 x 106) = 200 m
In this case, it’s pretty clear that l << λ
14) An antenna located on the surface of a flat earth transmits an average power of 200 kW. Assuming that all the power is radiated uniformly over the surface of a hemisphere with the antenna at the center, calculate
(a) The time-average Poynting vector at 50 km, and
(b) The maximum electric field at that location.
SOLUTION:
a)
Prad = ∫ Prad . ∂s = Pave . 2πr2 (hemisphere)
Pave = Prad / 2πr2 = (200 x 103) / (2π 50 x 106)2
=12.73 µW / m2
Pave = 12.73 ar µW / m2
b)
Pave = (Emax)2 / 2η
(Emax)2 = 240π x 12.73 x 10-6
Emax = 0.098 V/m
15) A 100-turn loop antenna of radius 20 cm operating at 10 MHz in air is to give a 50 mV/m field strength at a distance 3 m from the loop. Determine
(a) The current that must be fed to the antenna
(b) The average power radiated by the antenna
SOLUTION:
a)
λ = c / f = (3 x 108) / (100 x 106) = 3 m
Prad = 1/2 (Io2 Rrad) = 0.25mW
