The approximate directivity of a quarter-wave monopole over an ideal infinite conducting ground plane is?

  • A1 or 0 dBi
  • B1.64 or 2.15 dBi
  • C3.28 or 5.15 dBi
  • D10 or 10 dBi
Report an error
Correct Answer: C. 3.28 or 5.15 dBi
Explanation: An ideal quarter-wave monopole radiates into one hemisphere and has about twice the directivity of a half-wave dipole, approximately 3.28 or 5.15 dBi.
