Question:

Small antennas have low efficiencies (as will be seen in Chapter 14), and the efficiency increases with size up to the point at which a critical dimension of the antenna is an appreciable fraction of a wavelength, say λ/8.

(a) An antenna that is 12 cm long is operated in air at 1 MHz. What fraction of a wavelength long is it?

(b) The same antenna is embedded in a ferrite material for which ∈r = 20 and μr = 2, 000. What fraction of a wavelength is it now?
