negligibly small and ignoring the reactance component of its antenna impedance,
calculate the standing-wave ratio on a 50-Ω transmission line connected to the dipole
antenna.
Solution: According to Eq. (9.48), a half wave dipole has a radiation resistance of
73 Ω. To the transmission line, this behaves as a load, so the reflection coefficient is

Problem 9.1 A center-fed Hertzian dipole is excited by a current I0 = 20 A. If the

Solution: From Eq. (9.14), the maximum power density radiated by a Hertzian dipole
is given by

(c) The power density is 4 times smaller than that for the constant current case, but
the reduction is true for all directions. Hence, D remains unchanged at 1.5.
(d) Since S(R, θ ) is 4 times smaller, the total radiated power Prad is 4-times
smaller. Consequently, Rrad = 2Prad /I02 is 4 times smaller than the expression given
by Eq. (9.35); that is,

Problem 9.21 A half-wave dipole TV broadcast antenna transmits 1 kW at 50 MHz.

Solution: At f = 50 MHz, λ = c/ f = (3 × 108 m/s)/(50 × 106 Hz) = 6 m, for which
a half wave dipole, or larger antenna, is very reasonable to construct. Assuming the
TV transmitter to have a vertical half wave dipole, its gain in the direction of the

bandwidth of 3 MHz, the system noise temperature of the receiver is 600 K, and the
desired signal-to-noise ratio is 17 dB. What transmitter power is required?
Solution: From Eq. (9.77), the receiver noise power is
For a signal to noise ratio Sn = 17 dB = 50, the received power must be at least
Since the two antennas are half-wave dipoles, Eq. (9.47) states Dt = Dr = 1.64, and
since the antennas are both lossless, Gt = Dt and Gr = Dr . Since the operating
frequency is f = 150 MHz, λ = c/ f = (3 × 108 m/s)/(150 × 106 Hz) = 2 m. Solving
