The voltage of an electromagnetic wave propagating in a coaxial cable with uniform characteristic impedance is $$V(l) = {e^{ - \gamma l\, + \,j\,\omega \,t}}$$ Volts, where $$l$$ is the distance along the length of the cable in metres, $$\gamma = (0.1\, + \,j40)\,\,{m^{ - 1}}$$ is the complex propagation constant, and $$\omega = \,2\,\pi \,\, \times \,\,{10^9}$$ rad/s is the angular frequency. The absolute value of the attenuation in the cable in dB/metre is ___________________.

The expression for an electric field in free space is $$E = {E_0}\left( {\widehat x + \widehat y + j2\widehat z} \right){e^{ - j\left( {\omega t - kx + ky} \right)}},$$ where $$x,{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} y,{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} z\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$ represent the spatial coordinates, $$t$$ represents time, and $$\omega ,\,\,k$$ are contants. This electric field

A half wavelength dipole is kept in the x-y plane and oriented along $${45^ \circ }$$ from the x-axis. Determine the direction of null in the radiation pattern for $$0 \le \phi \le \pi $$. Here the angle $$\theta \left( {0 \le \theta \le \pi } \right)$$ is measured from the z-axis, and the angle $$\phi \left( {0 \le \phi \le 2\pi } \right)$$ is measured from the x-axis in the x-y plane.

Consider a wireless communication link between a transmitter and a receiver located in free space, with finite and strictly positive capacity. If the effective areas of the transmitter and the receiver antennas, and the distance between them are all doubled, and everything else remains unchanged, the maximum capacity of the wireless link
