The radiation resistance of an antenna having a power of 120 units and antenna current of 5A is :

  • A.4.8
  • B.9.6
  • C.3.6
  • D.1.8

Answer: A

The radiation resistance is 4.8 ohms.

Radiation resistance is the resistance that would dissipate the radiated power when carrying the antenna current:

\[ \begin{aligned} P &= I^{2}R_{r} \\ R_{r} &= \frac{P}{I^{2}} = \frac{120}{5^{2}} = \frac{120}{25} \\ &= 4.8\ \Omega \end{aligned} \]

9.6 is twice this, what you get with \(P = I^{2}R/2\), the form used when I is a peak rather than an rms value. 3.6 and 1.8 do not follow from the given data.
