A-007-06: Losses in real antenna systems, effective radiated power

A-007-06-01: A transmitter has an output of 100 watts. The cable and connectors have a composite loss of 3 dB, and the antenna has a gain of 6 dB. What is the Effective Radiated Power?

200 watts

350 watts

400 watts

300 watts



A-007-06-02: As standing wave ratio rises, so does the loss in the transmission line. This is caused by:

dielectric and conductor heat losses

high antenna currents

high antenna voltage

leakage to ground through the dielectric



A-007-06-03: What is the Effective Radiated Power of an amateur transmitter, if the transmitter output power is 200 watts, the transmission line loss is 5 watts, and the antenna power gain is 3 dB?

390 watts

197 watts

228 watts

178 watts



A-007-06-04: Effective Radiated Power means the:

transmitter output power, minus line losses, plus antenna gain

power supplied to the antenna before the modulation of the carrier

power supplied to the feedline plus antenna gain

ratio of signal output power to signal input power



A-007-06-05: A transmitter has an output power of 200 watts. The coaxial and connector losses are 3 dB in total, and the antenna gain is 9 dB. What is the approximate Effective Radiated Power of this system?

800 watts

3200 watts

1600 watts

400 watts



A-007-06-06: A transmitter has a power output of 100 watts. There is a loss of 1.30 dB in the transmission line, a loss of 0.2 dB through the transmatch, and a gain of 4.50 dB in the antenna. The Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is:

200 watts

800 watts

400 watts

100 watts



A-007-06-07: If the overall gain of an amateur station is increased by 3 dB the ERP (Effective Radiated Power) will:

double

decrease by 3 watts

remain the same

be cut in half



A-007-06-08: A transmitter has a power output of 125 watts. There is a loss of 0.8 dB in the transmission line, 0.2 dB in the transmatch, and a gain of 10 dB in the antenna. The Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is:

1000

1250

1125

134



A-007-06-09: If a 3 dB gain antenna is replaced with a 9 dB gain antenna, with no other changes, the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) will increase by:

4

6

1.5

2



A-007-06-10: A transmitter has an output of 2000 watts PEP. The transmission line, connectors and transmatch have a composite loss of 1 dB, and the gain from the stacked Yagi antenna is 10 dB. What is the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) in watts PEP?

16 000

18 000

20 000

2009



A-007-06-11: A transmitter has an output of 1000 watts PEP. The coaxial cable, connectors and transmatch have a composite loss of 1 dB, and the antenna gain is 10 dB. What is the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) in watts PEP?

8000

1009

10 000

9000
