2. A half .ave dipole antenna is operating in air at a fre/0ency of 100 1H2. At a
distance of 1000 3m and at an observation point 4 = /25 electric field strength is
meas0red to be ) 67/m. 8alc0late the9

a. Length of the antenna
b. Current fed to the antenna for the meas0red Electric field.
c. Power radiated by the antenna.
d. :f a transmission line .ith ;o = <) = is connected to the antenna5 determine
the standing wave ratio.
Solution :
(a) wavelength at 100 MHz is = c / f = 3 meters. Hence, the half-wavelength dipole antennas
