What is the gain of an aperture proportional to?

  • A.Its physical diameter divided by the wavelength in use at the time
  • B.The square root of its area multiplied by the operating frequency
  • C.Its area multiplied by the wavelength of the wave it is radiating
  • D.Its effective area divided by the square of the wavelength

Answer: D

The aperture gain relation makes gain proportional to effective area and inversely proportional to the square of the wavelength, so both a larger dish and a higher frequency raise it quadratically. The other options get the powers or the direction of the wavelength dependence wrong. Because the relation ties an electrical quantity to a physical one, it is the bridge between the mechanical design of a structure and the link budget it has to satisfy, and it is used more often than any other formula in this field.
