A transverse electromagnetic wave with circular polarization is received by a dipole antenna. Due to polarization mismatch, the power transfer efficiency from the wave to the antenna is reduced to about

A 1 km long microwave link uses two antennas each having 30dB gain. If the power transmitted by one antenna is 1 W at 3 GHz, the power received by the other antenna is approximately

In an air-filled rectangular waveguide, the vector electric field is given by $$\mathop E\limits^ \to = \cos \,(20\,\pi \,y)\,\exp \,\,\left[ { - j\left( {{{40\,\,\pi } \over 3}} \right)\,z\, + j\,\omega \,t} \right]\,\hat i\,\,\,V/m$$

Find the vector magnetic field and the phase velocity of the wave inside the waveguide.

Two isotropic antennas A and B from an array as shown in Fig. The currents fed to the two antennas are $${{\rm I}_0}\,\angle 0$$ and $${{\rm I}_0}\,\angle \alpha $$ respectively. What should be the value of $$\alpha $$ so that the radiation pattern has a null at $$\theta = {30^ \circ }$$. Find the direction of the maximum radiation for that value of $$\alpha $$ and draw the radiation pattern. ($$\lambda \,\,$$ is the wavelength of operation)
