Question:

Consider a lossless half-wave dipole in free space, with radiation resistance, Rrad = 73 ohms, and maximum directivity Dmax = 1.64. If the antenna carries a 1-A current amplitude,

(a) How much total power (in watts) is radiated?

(b) How much power is intercepted by a 1-m2 aperture situated at distance r = 1 km away? The aperture is on the equatorial plane and squarely faces the antenna. Assume uniform power density over the aperture.
