Using the identity Re Aej𝜔t = 12 Eej𝜔t + E∗ e−j𝜔t
The instant Poynting vector can be written as

SOLUTION MANUAL 3

(b) U(𝜃) = cos2 𝜃
U(𝜃h ) = 0.5 = cos2 𝜃h ⇒ 𝜃h = cos−1 (0.5)1∕2 = 45◦
⇒ Θh = 2(45) = 90◦ = 𝜋∕2 rads
U(𝜃n ) = 0 = cos2 𝜃n ⇒ 𝜃n = cos−1 (0) = 90◦
⇒ Θn = 2(90◦ ) = 180◦ = 𝜋 rads

(c) U(𝜃) = cos(2𝜃)
1
U(𝜃h ) = 0.5 = cos(2𝜃h ) ⇒ 𝜃h = cos−1 (0.5) = 30◦
2
⇒ Θh = 2(30◦ ) = 60◦ = 𝜋∕3 rads
1
U(𝜃n ) = 0 = cos(2𝜃n ) ⇒ 𝜃n = cos−1 (0) = 45◦
2
⇒ Θn = 2(45◦ ) = 90◦ = 𝜋∕2 rads

(d) U(𝜃) = cos2 (2𝜃)
1
U(𝜃h ) = 0.5 = cos2 (2𝜃h ) ⇒ 𝜃h = cos−1 (0.5)1∕2 = 22.5◦
2
𝜋
⇒ Θh = 2(22.5◦ ) = 45◦ = rads

1
U(𝜃n ) = 0 = cos2 (2𝜃n ) ⇒ 𝜃n = cos−1 (0) = 45◦
2
⇒ Θn = 2(45◦ ) = 90◦ = 𝜋∕2 rads

(e) U(𝜃) = cos(3𝜃)
1
U(𝜃h ) = cos(3𝜃h ) = 0.5 ⇒ 𝜃h = cos−1 (0.5) = 20◦
3
⇒ Θh = 2(20◦ ) = 40◦ = 0.698 rads
1
U(𝜃n ) = cos(3𝜃n ) = 0 ⇒ 𝜃n = cos−1 (0) = 30◦
3
⇒ Θn = 2(30◦ ) = 60◦ = 𝜋∕3 rads

(f) U(𝜃) = cos2 (3𝜃)
1
U(𝜃h ) = 0.5 = cos2 (3𝜃h ) ⇒ 𝜃h = cos−1 (0.5)1∕2 = 15◦
3
⇒ Θh = 2(15◦ ) = 30◦ = 𝜋∕6 rads
1
U(𝜃n ) = 0 = cos2 (3𝜃n ) ⇒ 𝜃n = cos−1 (0) = 30◦
3
⇒ Θn = 2(30◦ ) = 60◦ = 𝜋∕3 rads

2.5. Using the results of Problem 2.4 and a nonlinear solver to find the half power beamwidth of
the radiation intensity represented by the transcentendal functions, we have that:
{
HPBW = 55.584◦
(a) U(𝜃) = cos 𝜃 cos(2𝜃) ⇒
FNBW = 90◦
