In an ellipse,if the distance between the foci is $6$ units and the length of its minor axis is $8$ units,then its eccentricity is

Consider the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$. Let $H(\alpha, 0)$,$0 < \alpha < 2$,be a point. $A$ straight line drawn through $H$ parallel to the $y$-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points $E$ and $F$ respectively,in the first quadrant. The tangent to the ellipse at the point $E$ intersects the positive $x$-axis at a point $G$. Suppose the straight line joining $F$ and the origin makes an angle $\phi$ with the positive $x$-axis.
