3-J-066: Transmission Lines

3-66J1: What is the meaning of the term velocity factor of a transmission line?

The velocity of the wave on the transmission line divided by the velocity of light in a vacuum.

The ratio of the characteristic impedance of the line to the terminating impedance.

The velocity of the wave on the transmission line multiplied by the velocity of light in a vacuum.

The index of shielding for coaxial cable.



3-66J2: What determines the velocity factor in a transmission line?

Dielectrics in the line.

The termination impedance.

The line length.

The center conductor resistivity.



3-66J3: Nitrogen is placed in transmission lines to:

Prevent moisture from entering the line.

Improve the “skin-effect” of microwaves.

Reduce arcing in the line.

Reduce the standing wave ratio of the line.



3-66J4: A perfect (no loss) coaxial cable has 7 dB of reflected power when the input is 5 watts. What is the output of the transmission line?

1 watt.

1.25 watts.

2.5 watts.

5 watts.



3-66J5: Referred to the fundamental frequency, a shorted stub line attached to the transmission line to absorb even harmonics could have a wavelength of:

1/4 wavelength.

1.41 wavelength.

1/2 wavelength.

1/6 wavelength.



3-66J6: If a transmission line has a power loss of 6 dB per 100 feet, what is the power at the feed point to the antenna at the end of a 200 foot transmission line fed by a 100 watt transmitter?

6 watts.

70 watts.

50 watts.

25 watts.
