Q.1.What is meant by radiation pattern? Ans.

The radiation pattern is the representation of the radiation properties of the antenna as a function of space coordinates. The trace of the spatial variation of the received! radiated power at a constant radius from the antenna is called the power pattern and if the trace is due to f ield strength then is called as field strength pattern. Q. 2. What is polarization ? What are its types? Ans. Polarization of EM fields describes the time variations of the time harmoni c field vectors at a given points. In other words, it describes the way the dire ction and magnitude of the field vectors change in time. Polarization is a time harmonic field characterises. It is the figure traced by the extremity of the ti me-varying field vector at a given observation point. Polarization is of three types. 1. Linear 2. Circular 3. Elliptical
