What is radiation resistance?

  • A.The equivalent resistance accounting for radiated power
  • B.The ohmic resistance of the conductor at radio frequency
  • C.The real part of the impedance seen at the feed point
  • D.The resistance of the ground system beneath a monopole

Answer: A

Radiation resistance is a fictitious resistance which, carrying the same current, would dissipate the power the antenna actually radiates. For a half wave dipole it is about seventy-three ohms and for a short dipole only a few ohms, which is why short antennas are inefficient. Conductor loss is a separate resistance in series with it, the feed point resistance is the sum of the two, and ground loss is one particular contribution to the loss term in a monopole.
