A half wave dipole capable of radiating 1 kW and has 2.15 dB over a isotropic antenna. How much power must be delivered to the isotropic omnidirectional antenna, to match the field strength of directional antenna?
-
- 1264.7 watt
- 1441 watt
- 1364.7 watt
- 1641 watt
Correct Option: D
Given P1 = 1 kW (Power of unidirectional antenna)
P2 =? (Power delivered)
Gain in dB = 2.15
Now,
2.15 = 10 log10 | ![]() | ![]() | 1000 |
or
P2 = 1000 × 10.215
or
P2 = 1640. 589
or
P2 ≈ 1641 watt
