For transmitting a modulated signal of wave length \( \lambda \), the antenna should have minimum size:

  1. A \( \lambda \)
  2. B \( \lambda/2 \)
  3. C \( \lambda/4 \)
  4. D \( 2\lambda \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \lambda/4 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an antenna to efficiently transmit or receive a signal, its physical size must be comparable to the signal's wavelength. While a half-wave dipole \((\lambda / 2)\) is common, the minimum practical size for effective radiation is typically a quarter-wavelength (…
