What is an advantage of using a trap antenna?
- AIt has high directivity at the higher frequencies
- BIt has high gain
- CIt minimizes harmonic radiation
- DIt may be used for multi-band operation
Correct answer: D — It may be used for multi-band operation. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A trap antenna uses special circuits called traps, which act like switches to change the antenna's electrical length depending on the frequency. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
