How is the directivity of an antenna defined?

  • A.Maximum radiation intensity divided by its average over all directions
  • B.Radiated power divided by the power accepted at the terminals
  • C.Maximum field strength divided by the field of a half wave dipole
  • D.The ratio of the aperture area to the square of the wavelength

Answer: A

Directivity compares the intensity in the strongest direction with the intensity an isotropic radiator of the same total power would give in every direction. It is a property of the pattern alone and takes no account of losses. Radiated over accepted power is the radiation efficiency, comparison with a dipole gives gain in dBd, and the aperture relation is a formula for directivity rather than its definition. Gain is directivity multiplied by efficiency.
