α = ± β d
Broadside array α= 0
Endfire array α = ± βd

Question 112
From the following Relative amplitude vs Frequency plot, identify the type of noise which the sections A, B, C & D depict.

(i) Thermal Noise (ii) Power line pick up
(iii) Power supply (EPC) switching noise (iv) 1/f noise

A-i, B-ii, D-iv
B
A-ii, B-i, C-iv, D-iii
C
A-iv, B-ii, C-iii, D-i
D
B-iv, C-ii, D-i
Question 112 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is C
Here, from the graph we have to determine the type of noise at each region.
First region A=> power is minus, so it is extremely low frequency, which is why it can said as Pink noise or '1/f' noise. The PSD of this noise is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal.
Next region B=> This is power line pick up noise. Power line noise generally interferes with wireless communication and broadcasting. It can also disrupt television, radio and other important communication systems.
Next region C=> It is the noise that mainly arises in switched mode power supply systems. It is the power supply switching noise.
Last is region D=> It is thermal noise. This noise is also called as Johnson nyquist noise, and it arises due to the thermal distress (charge carriers).

Question 113
The electric field of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is given by is incident upon a linearly polarized antenna whose electric field polarization is expressed as Find the polarization loss factor.
A
1/2
B
3/2
C
2/3
D

Question 113 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is A
Here we have to find out polarization loss factor. Now, Polarization loss is generally given by the formula:
|E(incident). E(transmitted)|2/ |E(incident)|2. |E(transmitted)|2
Now, from the data given in the question, we can put the values in the formula as:
|ax(ax+ay)|2/|ax|2|ax+ay|2
On solving this we get= 1/2

Question 114
A lossless T-junction two way power divider has a source impedance, input transmission line impendence and o/p port load impendence of 50. Find the output characterization impedances so that the input power is divided in a 2:1 ratio.
A
z1= 150, z2 = 75
B
z1 = 50, z2= 100
C
z1= 60, z2= 120
D
z1 = 30, z2= 60
Question 114 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is A
The T junction power divider is a network that generally has 3 ports, and is used for power dividing or power combining.
The equivalent electrical circuit is shown below:

Here, Yin= jB+(1/Z1)+(1/Z2)=(1/Zc)
Now, input power(at the matched divider) can be given as: Pin= (1/2)(|V|2/Z1)=Pin/3
So, based on this the other output powers can be calculated as follows:
P1= (1/3)Pin and P2= (2/3)Pin[Since input power is divided in the ratio 2:1]
So, now, Z1 and Z2 can be calculated as:
Z1= 150Ω[Since Z1=3Zc=3(50) is given in the question]
Also, Z2= 75Ω[Since Z2= (3/2)Zc=(3/2)(50)]

Question 115
A gain-standard horn is known to have a gain G = 10. It is being used to measure the gain of a large directional antenna by the comparison method. When the antenna being measured is connected to the receiver it is found to be necessary to insert an attenuator adjusted to attenuate by 23 dB in order to have the same receiver output that was observed with the horn connected. What is the gain of the large antenna?
A
13 dB
B
23 dB
C
33 dB
D
230 dB
Question 115 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is C
Given=> Gain(G) of horn antenna=10
Si, in dB, gain G= 10log10=10dB
Also=> We have a large directional antenna.
Now, gain of large directional antenna - Attenuator=10dB
Let large directional antenna gain = 'X' dB
So, we can write: X-23dB=10dB=>X=33dB

Question 116
A paraboloidal-reflector antenna is designed for operation at 3 GHz. Its largest aperture dimension is 20 feet. It is desired to build a scale model of this antenna with the largest aperture dimension scaled to 18 inches. At what frequency must this model be operated in order to have the same pattern as the full-size antenna?
A
10 GHz
B
20 GHz
C
40 GHz
D
4 GHz
Question 116 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is C
Given=> Frequency(Paraboloid reflector antenna)=3GHz
and D=20 feet
We know that for a paraboloid reflector antenna gain is given as: G= 6(λf)2
Now 18 inches=1.5 feet.
We know that Gain 6(Df)2
From this we can say that Gain (Df)2
So=> (D1f1)2= (D2f2)2[D2f2=> parameter of scale model of original antenna]
D2=20feet and D1=18 inch=1.5 feet
Therefore=> (20 x 3)2= (1.5 x f2)2
On solving we get: f2=40GHz

Question 117
An antenna has a radiation resistance of 72 , a loss resistance of 8 Ω and power gain of 16. Calculate its directivity.
A
15.8
B
16.8
C
17.8
D
.18.7
Question 117 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is C
Given=> Rr=72Ω, RLoss=8Ω and Pgain=16
We have to determine=> Directivity
Now, gain of antenna=Directivity x (ո)
And ո= Rrad/ (Rrad+Rloss)
So, D= Gain/ո => 17.8

Question 118
The current density at the surface of a thick metal plate is 100 A/m2. What is the skin depth if the current density at a depth of 0.0059 cm is 0.272 A/m2?
A
5m
B
10 m
C
15m
D
20m
Question 118 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is B
Given=> Current density=> 100A/m2
We have to find=> Skin depth(δ)
Now, δ= (1/σ)
Current density reduces in metal(from surface) at the rate equal to=>
So, we can write: 100=0.27
Taking Log on both sides:
- .0059 x 10-2 / δ = ln[0.272/1000]
On solving this we will get δ=10 µm
