Electromagnetic Theory

  1. 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?
    1. 1264.7 watt
    2. 1441 watt
    3. 1364.7 watt
    4. 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
P2
1000

or
P2 = 1000 × 10.215
or
P2 = 1640. 589
or
P2 ≈ 1641 watt
