Electromagnetic Theory

  1. A transmitting antenna radiates 251 W isotropically. A receiving antenna located 100 m away from the transmitting antenna has an effective aperture of 500 cm2. The total received power by the antenna is—
    1. 10 µW
    2. 1 µW
    3. 20 µW
    4. 100 µW
Correct Option: D

As we know from the relation that

PR =
PTAeGT
4∏r2

where GT = 1 for isotropic antenna
PR =
PTAe
4∏r2

PR =
251 × 0.05 − m2
4∏ × (100)2

= 99.86 µW
