Question

For the same current, the power radiated by half-wave dipole is four times that of the radiation by quarter wave monopole.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in quiz.

My question is from Power Radiation from Half Wave Dipole in chapter Antenna Parameters – II of Antennas

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

For explanation I would say: The radiation resistance of a half wave dipole is 73Ω and that of a quarter wave monopole is 36.5Ω. So the power radiated by half-wave dipole is two times that of the radiation by quarter wave monopole.
