Answer:
(a) 6.85 mw (b) 915 W (c) more efficient at higher frequencies
Explanation:
(a) At 1 MHz
λ = c / f = [tex] 3*10^8 / 10^6 [/tex] = 300 m
λ / l = 300 / 0.25 = 1200, hence this is short dipole
From prad = [tex] 40*pi^2*I0^2* ( l / λ)^2 [/tex] - equation (I)
Solving for I0 = 5A,
we obtain prad = 6.85 mw
(b) At 0.6 GHz
Hence λ = c / f = [tex] 3*10^8 / 0.6*10^9 = 1/2 [/tex]
Likewise, substituting into equation (I)
prad = 915 w
(c) At higher frequency as seen in the previous two solutions, the antennae radiates 915/6.85 mw = 133500.8 times as much power as it does at lower frequency.
Hence, it is more efficient at higher operating frequency
