1. What is the polarization mismatch factor for two linearly polarized antennas whose polarization vectors are mismatched by an angle of 35°?
2. Show how two linearly polarized antennas and a phase shifter can be arranged to receive an incoming wave with circular polarization without signal attenuation due to polarization mismatch.
3. A 100 Watt transmitter feeds an antenna with a gain of 50 dBi. Calculate the maximum power that could be received at a geosynchronous satellite at an altitude of 36,000 km whose antenna has a gain of 30 dB. The wavelength is 1 cm, and the polarization mismatch factor is -3 dB
