This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 3 Electronic Science Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv

To solve this question, we need to match the items in List I with those in List II based on their definitions in Electromagnetic Theory.

  1. Beam Efficiency:
    • Beam efficiency is defined as the ratio of the main beam solid angle (\(\Omega_M\)) to the total solid angle (\(\Omega_A\)).
    • This is represented by the expression \(\dfrac{\Omega_M}{\Omega_A}\).
  2. Directivity:
    • Directivity refers to the power density that an antenna radiates in the direction of its maximum output compared to an isotropic source.
    • The formula used for this is \(4\pi/\Omega_A\).
  3. Gain:
    • Gain considers the directivity of an antenna and its efficiency. It is often represented as the product of directivity (\(D\)) and efficiency (\(k\)).
    • This relationship is represented by \(kD\).
  4. Aperture Efficiency:
    • Aperture efficiency is defined as the ratio of the effective aperture (\(A_e\)) to the physical aperture (\(A_P\)).
    • This is given by the expression \(A_e/A_P\).

By associating each term with its correct description, we have the matches:

  • a. Beam efficiency - iii. \(\dfrac{\Omega_M}{\Omega_A}\)
  • b. Directivity - i. \(4\pi/\Omega_A\)
  • c. Gain - ii. \(kD\)
  • d. Aperture Efficiency - iv. \(A_e/A_P\)

Thus, the correct option is: a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv.
