A linearly polarized wave travelling in the negative z direc

A linearly polarized wave travelling in the negative z direction has a tilt angle tau of 45 degree It is incident upon an antenna whose polarization characteristics are given by rho_a = 4a_x + ja_y/Squareroot 17 Find the polarization loss factor (PLF). A linearly polarized uniform plane wave travelling in the positive z direction, with a power density of 10 milliwatts per square meter, is incident upon a circularly polarized antenna whose maximum effective area is 1 meter square. Determine the power that will be delivered to a load directly attached to the terminals of the antenna.

Solution

polarised factor == 2.56

power = power density * area

= 10 mW

polarised factor is a scalar quatity
