Should the straight wire antenna of a radio be vertical or horizontal to best receive radio waves broadcast by a vertical transmitter antenna? How should a loop antenna be aligned to best receive the signals? (Note that the direction of the loop that produces the best reception can be used to determine the location of the source. It is used for that purpose in tracking tagged animals in nature studies, for example.)
Two handheld radio transceivers with dipole antennas are separated by a large fixed distance. If the transmitting antenna is vertical, what fraction of the maximum received power will appear in the receiving antenna when it is inclined from the vertical by (a) 15.0°, (b) 45.0°, and (c) 90.0°?
A0.5 MHz antenna carried by an airplane flying over the ocean surface generates a wave that approaches the water surface in the forme
a normally incident plane wave with an electric-field amplitude of 5500 V/m. Seawater is characterized by a dielectric constant of 72,
relative permeabity of 1 and conductivity of 4 Slm. The plane is trying to communicate a message to a submarine submerged at a depth d
below the water surface.
If the submarine's receiver requires a minimum signal ampitude of 0.03 u Vim), what is the maximum depth d to which successful
communication is still possible?
