For an aperture antenna, increasing the effective aperture while wavelength is fixed generally causes gain to?

  • AIncrease
  • BDecrease
  • CRemain exactly constant
  • DBecome zero

Correct Answer: A. Increase
Explanation: Gain and effective aperture satisfy Ae=G lambda²/(4pi), so at fixed wavelength larger effective aperture means larger gain.
