2-7-2. Approximate directivities.
Calculate the approximate directivity from the half-power beam widths of a unidirectional
antenna if the normalized power pattern is given by: (a) Pn = cos θ, (b) Pn = cos2 θ, (c) Pn
= cos3 θ, and (d) Pn = cosn θ. In all cases these patterns are unidirectional (+z direction)
with Pn having a value only for zenith angles 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90° and Pn = 0 for 90° ≤ θ ≤ 180°.
The patterns are independent of the azimuth angle φ.

*2-7-3. Approximate directivities.
Calculate the approximate directivities from the half-power beam widths of the three
unidirectional antennas having power patterns as follows:
P(θ,φ) = Pm sin θ sin2 φ
P(θ,φ) = Pm sin θ sin3 φ
P(θ,φ) = Pm sin2 θ sin3 φ
P(θ,φ) has a value only for 0 ≤ θ ≤ π and 0 ≤ φ ≤ π and is zero elsewhere.
Solution:
To find D using approximate relations,
we first must find the half-power beamwidths.

where E(x, y) is the aperture field distribution.
Solution: If the field over the aperture is uniform, the directivity is a maximum (= Dm)
and the power radiated is P′ . For an actual aperture distribution, the directivity is D and
the power radiated is P. Equating effective powers
