Sixth Semester B.Tech. Degree Examination, December 2009 (2003 Scheme) Electronics and Communication 03-605 Antenna and Wave Propagation (T)

This document appears to be an exam for a course on antennas and wave propagation. It contains questions that assess understanding of key concepts in the subject matter, including: 1) Defining and deriving the directivity of an antenna in terms of beam solid angle. 2) Calculating the maximum effective aperture of an antenna operating at a given wavelength and directivity. 3) Explaining the principle of operation of a linear antenna array and the advantages and disadvantages of binomial arrays. 4) Describing the geometry of a microwave dish antenna and the general characteristics of a log-periodic antenna.
