Question

A dipole carries RMS current of about 300 A across the radiation resistance 2 Ω. What would be the power radiated by an antenna?

The correct answer is

180 kW

P_{rad} (in kW) = (180000 W)/(1000) P_{rad} (in kW) = 180 kW So, the power radiated by the antenna is 180 kW. Parameter Value Unit RMS Current (I_{rms}) 300 A Radiation Resistance (R_{rad}) 2 \Omega Calculated Power Radiated (P_{rad}) 180000 W Calculated Power Radiated (P_{rad}) 180 kW Conclusion on Antenna Power Calculation Based on the given RMS current of 300 A and a radiation resistance of 2 \Omega, the power radiated by the dipole antenna is calculated to be 180 kW.
