Time: 3 Hours
Total Marks: 100
Attempt any four of the following:
  1. Define Gain and Beam width of an antenna.
  2. Explain the term " Antenna Impedance" and” Radiation resistance".
  3. An antenna has a radiation resistance of 72 Ohms, a loss resistance of 8 Ohms and a power gain of 12 dB. Determine the antenna efficiency and its directivity.
  4. Write in brief the working of Yagi Antenna.
  5. Discuss the term " Linear Polarization" and "Elliptical polarization"
  6. Determine the electric field at a point "p" due to doublet of length "dl". Obtain the expression for radiation resistance (Rr) of such doublet.
 Attempt any two of the following:
  1.  Derive an expression for effective aperture area of an antenna. Calculate the maximum effective aperture area of antenna which is operating at a wavelength of 2 meter and has a directivity of 100.
  2.  A transmitter provides 15 W to an antenna having 12 dB gains. The receiver antenna has a gain of 3 dB and the receiver bandwidth is 30 kHz. If the receiver system noise figure is 8 dB and the carrier frequency is 1800MHz, find the maximum T-R separation that will ensure that a SNR of 20 dB is provided for 95% of the time. Assume n =4, σ=8 and do =1 km.
  3. A vehicle receives a 900 MHz transmission while traveling at a constant velocity for 10 s. The average fade duration for a single level 10 db below the rms level is 1 ms. How far dose the vehicle travel during the 10 s interval? How many fades dose the signal undergo at the rms threshold level during a 10 s interval? Assume that the local mean remains constant during travel. 
Attempt any two parts of the following:
  1. Show that the magnitude (envelope) of the sum of two independently identically distributed complex (quadrature) Gaussian sources is Rayleigh distributed. Assume that the Gaussian sources are zero mean and have unit variance.
  2. Define Isotropic radiator. Calculate the directivity of an Isotropic antenna.
  3. Differentiate between Broad-side array and End-fire array. Sketch their radiation pattern. Under what condition will the pattern be unidirectional?
Attempt any two parts of the following:
  1. Discuss in brief the working principle of parabolic reflector antenna and mention its area of application. Find the diameter of a dish antenna that will from a beam having a 0.5o half-power beam width at a frequency of 8.2 GHz. Assuming an efficiency constant k = 0.6, calculate the antenna gain and effective aperture.
  2. Derive the total power radiated by half wave dipole. Also derive an expression for the gain of it.
  3. Write the ranges for various layers of atmosphere. Explain the effect of Earth's Magnetic Field on Radio wave Propagation.

  3. Write in brief on:
    (i) Normal E region
    (ii) Sporadic E region
    (iii) Various layers of Ionosphere.
