26.
Consider a loss less antenna with a directive gain of + 6 dB. If 1 mW of power is fed to it the total power radiated by the antenna will be
4 mW
1 mW
7 mW
1/4 mW
Answer: Option
Explanation:

6 dB = 10 log10

= 100.6 3.98

Pr = 3.98 mW.

Antenna is lossless so answer should be 1mw.

Antenna radiates a total power of 1mW at most in lossless case, there is no source of power in the antenna by itself it is just a transducer with power input coming from the feed.
