What does a null in an antenna pattern mean?

  • A.A direction in which almost no power is radiated
  • B.A direction in which the power is highest
  • C.A frequency at which the antenna does not resonate
  • D.A point at which the feed impedance becomes zero

Answer: A

A null is a direction of minimum or zero radiation, produced where contributions from different parts of the antenna cancel. Nulls are as useful as maxima: a loop's null gives a bearing, and an array null can be steered onto an interferer. The word describes a direction rather than a frequency or an impedance, and confusing the pattern domain with the circuit domain is a frequent source of muddle.
