Extra exam question E9B05
Subelement E9, ANTENNAS AND TRANSMISSION LINES· Group E9B
What type of antenna pattern is shown in Figure E9-2?
- A.Elevation (correct answer)
- B.Azimuth
- C.Near field
- D.Polarization
WhyFigure E9-2 shows an elevation antenna pattern. Figure E9-2 is an elevation pattern, a vertical-plane slice showing how radiated signal strength varies with elevation angle from the horizon (0 degrees) up through the zenith (90 degrees) and back down to the horizon in the opposite direction (180 degrees), the effect of ground reflection interference creating the multiple lobes visible, answer A. It isn't an azimuth pattern (a horizontal-plane slice), isn't a near-field plot, and isn't a polarization pattern, those describe different kinds of antenna characterization entirely.
