A-007-08: Radiation resistance, antenna efficiency, beamwidth
A-007-08-01:
What is meant by the radiation resistance of an antenna?
The equivalent resistance that would dissipate the same amount of power as that radiated from an antenna
The resistance in the atmosphere that an antenna must overcome to be able to radiate a signal
The specific impedance of an antenna
The combined losses of the antenna elements and feed line
A-007-08-02:
Why would one need to know the radiation resistance of an antenna?
To match impedances for maximum power transfer
To measure the near-field radiation density from a transmitting antenna
To calculate the front-to-side ratio of the antenna
To calculate the front-to-back ratio of the antenna
A-007-08-03:
What factors determine the radiation resistance of an antenna?
Antenna location with respect to nearby objects and the conductors length/diameter ratio
Transmission line length and antenna height
Sunspot activity and time of day
It is a physical constant and is the same for all antennas
A-007-08-04:
What is the term for the ratio of the radiation resistance of an antenna to the total resistance of the system?
Antenna efficiency
Beamwidth
Effective Radiated Power
Radiation conversion loss
A-007-08-05:
What is included in the total resistance of an antenna system?
Radiation resistance plus ohmic resistance
Radiation resistance plus transmission resistance
Transmission line resistance plus radiation resistance
Radiation resistance plus space impedance
A-007-08-06:
How can the approximate beamwidth of a beam antenna be determined?
Note the two points where the signal strength is down 3 dB from the maximum signal point and compute the angular difference
Draw two imaginary lines through the ends of the elements and measure the angle between the lines
Measure the ratio of the signal strengths of the radiated power lobes from the front and side of the antenna
Measure the ratio of the signal strengths of the radiated power lobes from the front and rear of the antenna
A-007-08-07:
How is antenna percent efficiency calculated?
(radiation resistance / total resistance) X 100
(radiation resistance / transmission resistance) X 100
(total resistance / radiation resistance) X 100
(effective radiated power / transmitter output) X 100

Radiation resistance
"j" factor
Antenna resistance
"K" factor
A-007-08-09:
Antenna beamwidth is the angular distance between:
the points on the major lobe at the half-power points
the maximum lobe spread points on the major lobe
the 6 dB power points on the major lobe
the 3 dB power points on the first minor lobe
