A 20 m antenna gives a certain uplink gain at frequencies of 4/6 GHz. For getting same gain in the 20/30 GHz band, antenna size required is metre.

Accepted Answer

Antenna Diameter(d) is inversely proportional to the operating frequency(f)So d = K x (1/f)Note :- Here K is a constantFor up link f = 4 GHz      for down link f = 6 GHzd = k x 1/4 d = k x 1/6d/5 = k x 1/( 4 x 5)d/5 = k x 1/( 6 x 5)d/5 = k/20 .........(1)d/5 = k/30 .........(2)So the resultant size of antenna from equation (1) and (2) isSize = d/5 = 20/5 = 4 mHence, Size = 4 m
