Across
- 3. in radio amateur use, bi-directional communication on a single frequency
- 5. passive two-terminal electrical component that stores electrical energy in a magnetic field when electrical current flows through it
- 8. the direction of a magnetic or electrical field
- 9. a device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator
- 12. an electronic circuit (or computer program in a software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave
- 13. used for measuring the input impedance of antenna systems in radio applications
- 14. the process of configuring an instrument to provide a result for a sample within an acceptable range
- 16. the layer of the earth's atmosphere which contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons
- 19. an arrangement of resistors which reduces the strength of a radio or audio signal
- 20. one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power
- 22. an array of dipole antennas mounted in such a manner that every element of each antenna is in an extension, with respect to its long axis, of its counterparts in the other antennas in the array, usually mounted vertically in order to increase overall gain and directivity in the horizontal direction
Down
- 1. used when it is possible to transmit and receive simultaneously
- 2. an electronic device that can increase the power of a signal
- 4. the measurement of a network of triangles in order to determine distance and relative positions of points spread over an area
- 6. the behaviour of radio waves as they travel from one point to another
- 7. an aerial consisting of two poles or sections to the radiating element - in its most common it is a half-wavelength long at the frequency of operation
- 10. used to generate electricity, or one that is used to make chemical reactions possible by applying electricity
- 11. a horizontal dipole fed at the centre with parallel wire transmission line
- 14. two concentric conductors separated by an insulator
- 15. an instruments for converting sound waves into electrical energy
- 17. an electrical component that limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit
- 18. a conductive substance with a low melting point used to connect components in a circuit
- 20. typically an electrical transformer used to connect an unbalanced circuit to a balanced one
- 21. a specific range of frequencies in the radio frequency spectrum
