4.1.2 An antenna has a gain of 16 dB. It is fed by an RG-8/U foam transmission line
80 m long whose attenuation is 8.2 dB/100 m at 100 MHZ. The transmitter
output power is 70 W. Determine the ERP in watts. [451.856 W]
4.1.3 A simple Yagi-Uda antenna operating at 200 MHz has active, reflector and
director elements. Determine the length of the reflector and director elements.
[0.787 m, 0.713 m]
4.2.1 Design a simple Yagi-Uda antenna operating at 80 MHz with active element,
reflector and director.
Your solution should include the length of each element.
[1.875 m, 1.969 m, 1.781 m]
4.2.2 Design (specify antenna diameter and beamwidth) a parabolic antenna that
will meet the following specifications:
Gain = 50 dB
Operating frequency = 6010 MHz
Efficiency = 65%
[6.24 m, 0.56º]
4.2.3 Design a helical antenna that will have a gain of 18 dB at a frequency of
1 GHz. Specify wavelength, diameter of the helix, spacing between turns, and
the number of turns.
