5. A

Find the polarization loss factor.

dipole with a total resistance of 1 ohm is connected to a generator whose internal

impedance is 50 + j25 ohms. Assuming that the peak voltage of the generator is 2V and
impedance of the dipole excluding the loss resitance, is 73 + j42.5 Ohms, find the power
a. Supplied by the source (real)
b. Radiated by the antenna
c. Dissipated by the antena.
6. An incoming wave with a uniform power density equal to
is incident normally upon
a lossless horn antenna whose directivity is 20dB. At a frequency of 10GHz determine the
maximum possible power that can be expected to be delivered to a load connected to the horn
antenna. Assume no losses between the antenna and the load.
