Heavy and difficult to install



A-007-09-04: For rectangular waveguide to transfer energy, the cross-section should be at least:

one-half wavelength

three-eighths wavelength

one-eighth wavelength

one-quarter wavelength



A-007-09-05: Which of the following statements about waveguide IS NOT correct?

Waveguide has high loss at high frequencies, but low loss below cutoff frequency

In the transverse electric mode, a component of the magnetic field is in the direction of propagation

In the transverse magnetic mode, a component of the electric field is in the direction of propagation

Waveguide has low loss at high frequencies, but high loss below cutoff frequency

Microstripline

Dielectric substrate

Dielectric imprinting

Ground plane



A-007-09-08: Compared with coaxial cable, microstripline:

has poorer shielding

has superior shielding

must have much lower characteristic impedance

must have much higher characteristic impedance

operates like a band-stop filter

is lightweight and easy to install



A-007-09-10: Microstripline is:

printed circuit transmission line

a small semiconductor family

a high power microwave antenna

a family of fluids for removing coatings from small parts



A-007-09-11: What precautions should you take before beginning repairs on a microwave feed horn or waveguide?

Be sure the transmitter is turned off and the power source is disconnected

Be sure the weather is dry and sunny

Be sure propagation conditions are unfavorable for tropospheric ducting

Be sure to wear tight-fitting clothes and gloves to protect your body and hands from sharp edges
