(c) A TV broadcast antenna transmits power of 3 kW at frequency of 200 MHz. The transmitter antenna has pattern solid angle of 1.3 sr, radiation resistance R = 45 W and dissipative resistance Rais W. A home television antenna with a gain of 25 dB and pattern solid angle of 1.5 sr is located at a = 15 distance of 60 km from the TV broadcast transmitter. Calculate the following antennas fundamental parameters: (i) The transmitter antenna directivity. (ii) The transmitter antenna efficiency and maximum gain. (iii) The receiver antenna effective area. (iv) The power received at the home television antenna. (v) The maximum possible distance if the received power must be at least 5 nW.

Question
(c) A TV broadcast antenna transmits power of 3 kW at frequency of 200 MHz. The transmitter antenna
has pattern solid angle of 1.3 sr, radiation resistance R = 45 W and dissipative resistance Rais
W. A home television antenna with a gain of 25 dB and pattern solid angle of 1.5 sr is located at a
= 15
distance of 60 km from the TV broadcast transmitter. Calculate the following antennas fundamental
parameters:
(i) The transmitter antenna directivity.
(ii) The transmitter antenna efficiency and maximum gain.
(iii) The receiver antenna effective area.
(iv) The power received at the home television antenna.
(v) The maximum possible distance if the received power must be at least 5 nW.
