Question 530

How does the radiation pattern of a horizontally polarized antenna vary with increasing height above ground?

  1. The takeoff angle of the lowest elevation lobe increases
  2. The takeoff angle of the lowest elevation lobe decreasesBonne réponse
  3. The horizontal beamwidth increases
  4. The horizontal beamwidth decreases

Explication

Raising a horizontal antenna increases its spacing from the reflecting ground measured in wavelengths, which moves the first interference maximum closer to the horizon. The lowest elevation lobe therefore comes down as the antenna goes up, which is why height helps for DX.
