Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A highly-directional antenna taht resembles the rectangular grill of a barbeque - with the edges slightly curved inward. The spacing of the wries on this is determined by the wavelength of the frequencies that the antenna is designed for
back lobe
grid
Fresnel zone
line of sight (LOS)
2. Small devices about the size of a C-cell battery - with cable connectors on both sides. They absorb energy - decreasing the signal as it travels through. Fixed types provide a set amount of loss. Variable loss types have a dial on it that allows you
voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)
dipole antenna
ighly-directional antenna
attenuator
3. An antenna that consists of two elements. A half-wave type antenna consists of two elements - each 1/4 of the wavelength long
