A-003-03: Dip meter, signal generator

A-003-03-01: What is a dip meter?

A variable frequency oscillator with metered feedback current

An SWR meter

A marker generator

A field-strength meter



A-003-03-02: What does a dip meter do?

It gives an indication of the resonant frequency of a circuit

It measures transmitter output power accurately

It measures field strength accurately

It measures frequency accurately



A-003-03-03: What two ways could a dip meter be used in an amateur station?

To measure resonant frequencies of antenna traps and to measure a tuned circuit resonant frequency

To measure antenna resonance and impedance

To measure antenna resonance and percentage modulation

To measure resonant frequency of antenna traps and percentage modulation



A-003-03-04: A dip meter supplies the radio frequency energy which enables you to check:

the resonant frequency of a circuit

the calibration of an absorption-type wavemeter

the impedance mismatch in a circuit

the adjustment of an inductor



A-003-03-05: A dip meter may not be used to:

measure the value of capacitance or inductance

align transmitter-tuned circuits

determine the frequency of oscillations

align receiver-tuned circuits



A-003-03-06: The dial calibration on the output attenuator of a signal generator:

reads accurately only when the attenuator is properly terminated

always reads the true output of the signal generator

reads twice the true output when the attenuator is properly terminated

reads half the true output when the attenuator is properly terminated



A-003-03-07: What is a signal generator?

A high-stability oscillator which can produce a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes

A low-stability oscillator which sweeps through a range of frequencies

A low-stabilty oscillator used to inject a signal into a circuit under test

A high-stability oscillator which generates reference signals at exact frequency intervals



A-003-03-08: A dip meter:

should be loosely coupled to the circuit under test

should be tightly coupled to the circuit under test

may be used only with series tuned circuits

accurately measures frequencies



A-003-03-09: A dip meter is:

a variable frequency oscillator with metered feedback current

transmitter power output

hand capacity

stray capacity

over coupling
