3.(a)A 5-m long radiating element carries a current of 2 amp. It radiates in the = 450 direction in free space
at f = 10 MHz. Estimate the ratio of magnitudes of E and H at a point located at 30 km from the point of
origination. will it be different at 50 km.

(b)Evaluate the radiation resistance of an element of length l = 1m at f = 10 GHz

4.(a)Calculate the average power available at a 10 km distance if an element radiates in the = 300 direction
and carries a maximum current of 1 amp.
(b)If an element of 1 cm length radiates 1W at 3 GHz, estimate the effective current carried by the element.

5. Derive the far zone electric and magnetic fields radiated by a magnetic dipole of length l=/2 aligned
with the z axis. Assume sinusoidal magnetic current with maximum value I mo

6. A /2 dipole situated with its centre at the origin radiates a time averaged power of 600W at a frequency of
300 MHz A second /2 dipole is placed with its centre at a point P(r, , ), where r=200 m, =90 o , =40o .
It is oriented so that its axis is parallel to that of the transmitting antenna. What is the available power at the
terminals of the receiving dipole?
