A measure of the directivity of an antenna is the power per steradian in a direction in which this a maximum, divided by 1/(4pi) times the total power radiated. Calculate the directivity for an oscillating electric dipole and the directivity for an oscillating magnetic dipole.

1) A Hertzian dipole antenna is a short conducting wire carrying an approximately constant current over its length If such a dipole is placed along the z-axis with its midpoint at the origin, and if the current flowing through it is i(t) ż lo cosot, assume I to be sufficiently small so that the observation point is approximately equidistant to all points on the dipole; that is, assume RR then the corresponding magnetic field is described by: olk2 sin e...
A Hertzian dipole is to be used by an radio amateur at 30 MHz. The FCC regulations indicate that the radiated field at a distance 2/27 (you can assume this distance is in the far field) and at a direction of maximum intensity must be less than 15 2 uV/m a) What is the average power flow density in a direction of maximum intensity if the electric field is equal to 15 2 uV/m? b) What is maximum time-average radiated...
The FCC typically regulates the maximum effective radiated power from an antenna (ERP or EIRP) because of the potential for interference to other services. This restricts not just the maximum transmitter power, but also the maximum antenna gain. With microwave and millimeter wave systems, they also sometimes regulate the minimum antenna gain. Why might this be so? (Hint: what is the source of gain in an antenna which has no active elements?) The FCC typically regulates the maximum effective radiated...
