QUIZ Chapter One

5. portion of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between far infrared and conventional radio frequency range.
7. The _________ _________ of the dielectric is the most important design parameter for coaxial cables and determines dimensions, losses and propagation characteristics.
9. A quick cam operating device coupling for connectors.
13. A type of transmission line configuration which consists of a single narrow conductor parallel and equidistant to two parallel ground planes.
14. The amount of energy which “leaks” or radiates from a connector, cable and/or device.
15. The ratio of the power output to the power input where 1 dB increase in input power gives rise to a 1 dB increase in output power.
17. of Propagation, The speed of an electrical signal down a length of cable compared to speed in free space expressed as a percentage.
18. The loss in signal (load) power due to the insertion of a component, connector or devise at some point in a RF transmission system.

1. A Cable that delays electrical signals by a specified amount of time.
2. Stability Variation of the electrical length of a cable that can result from temperature or mechanical stress due to bending or torsion.
3. A passive device absorbs part of the input signal.
4. A cable containing a flexible inner core and a relatively inflexible sheathing.
6. The unwanted transfer of energy from one circuit to another.
8. Abbreviation for polytetrafluoroethylene (thermally most stable and chemically most resistant carbonaceous compound).
10. ______ _______ _______ Cable specially constructed to avoid spurious electrical disturbances caused by mechanical movements.
11. voltage standing wave ratio.
12. The decrease of a signal with the distance in the direction of propagation.
16. The insulation between inner and outer conductor in a coaxial cable.
