4𝑡ℎ Year Microwave Laboratory

2nd Semester Report

2015-2016
M6- Reflection and Diffraction of waves:
1- For a plane wave incident on a slab of thickness (d) and relative dielectric constant
(εr) prove that:
1−𝑒 −𝑗 2∅ 1−𝑅 2 2𝜋 𝜆𝑜
 𝑅𝑑 = 𝑅 & 𝑇𝑑 = 𝑒 −𝑗∅ 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 ∅ = 𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑡 ; 𝜆 =
1−𝑅 2 𝑒 −𝑗 2∅ 1−𝑅 2 𝑒 −𝑗 2∅ 𝜆 𝜂
2- Discuss the basic guidelines when designing the height of the line-of-sight (LOS)
Microwave links.

M7- Injection phase locking of microwave oscillators:

1- Discuss briefly the theory of injection phase locking of oscillators.
2- Solve the first three questions given in the lab notes.

M8- Antennas:
1. How to differentiate between far field and near field experimentally?
2. How to measure radiation pattern experimentally?
3. How to measure antenna gain experimentally?
4. If you increase the diameter of the parabolic antenna, would it give a broader or
narrower lobe?
5. Plot the radiation pattern of horizontal dipole antenna and horizontal dipole antenna
above perfect conductor. Discuss the effect of the distance between the antenna and
the conductor.
