Exercise 35

When an antenna having an effective length e as defined in Eq. (10-85) is used for receiving an incident electric field E i parallel to the dipole, the product | E i e | equals the induced open-circuit voltage |V 0C | in the receiving circuit. Assume that a half-wave dipole radiates 2 (kW) at 300 (MHz) and that a second half-wave dipole parallel to and 150 (m) away from the first is used as a receiving antenna. Neglecting losses, find (a) |V 0C | in the equivalent receiving circuit, and (b) the power received in a matched load.
