NAVEDTRA 14182 Ch3 Flashcards
Which device is designed to guide electrical energy from one point to another
Transmission line
Which type of line is most often used for power lines, rural telephone lines, and telegraph lines
2-wire open line
Which type of line consists of 2 insulated wires twisted together to form a felxible line without the use of spacers
Twisted pair
Line losses may be any of 3 types
Radiation/Induction
Dielectric
And what else
Copper
Which type of losses occur because some magnetic lines of force about a conductor do NOT return to the conductor when the cycle alternates
Radiation
What determines the amount of current that can flow when a given voltage is applied to an infinitely long time
Characteristic impedance
The characteristic impedance of lines in actual use normally lies between 50 and ____ ohms
600 ohms
If a line is NOT terminated in characteristic impedance, what is it said to be
Finite
What are voltages called that are moving toward the receiving end of a line
Incident voltages
Which type of line has NO standing waves of current and voltage
Non resonant
Which type of line has a finite length and is NOT transmitted in its characteristic impedance
Resonant
What is the ratio of maximum voltages to minimize the voltage on the line called
VSWR
What are hollow metal tubes used to transfer energy from 1 point tot another
Wave guides
