B-006-06: Concept of impedance matching

B-006-06-01: What device might allow use of an antenna on a band it was not designed for?

An antenna tuner

An SWR meter

A low pass filter

A high pass filter



B-006-06-02: What does an antenna matching unit do?

It matches a transceiver to a mismatched antenna system

It helps a receiver automatically tune in stations that are far away

It switches an antenna system to a transmitter when sending, and to a receiver when listening

It switches a transceiver between different kinds of antennas connected to one feed line



B-006-06-03: What would you use to connect a coaxial cable of 50 ohms impedance to an antenna of 35 ohms impedance?

An impedance-matching device

An SWR meter

A low pass filter

A terminating resistor



B-006-06-04: When will a power source deliver maximum output to the load?

When the impedance of the load is equal to the impedance of the source

When air wound transformers are used instead of iron-core transformers

When the power-supply fuse rating equals the primary winding current

When the load resistance is infinite



B-006-06-05: What happens when the impedance of an electrical load is equal to the internal impedance of the power source?

The source delivers maximum power to the load

The electrical load is shorted

No current can flow through the circuit

The source delivers minimum power to the load



B-006-06-06: Why is impedance matching important?

So the source can deliver maximum power to the load

So the load will draw minimum power from the source

To ensure that there is less resistance than reactance in the circuit

To ensure that the resistance and reactance in the circuit are equal



B-006-06-07: To obtain efficient power transmission from a transmitter to an antenna requires:

matching of impedances

high load impedance

low ohmic resistance

inductive impedance



B-006-06-08: To obtain efficient transfer of power from a transmitter to an antenna, it is important that there is a:

matching of impedance

high load impedance

proper method of balance

low ohmic resistance



B-006-06-09: If an antenna is correctly matched to a transmitter, the length of transmission line:

will have no effect on the matching

must be a full wavelength long

must be an odd number of quarter-wave

must be an even number of half-waves



B-006-06-10: The reason that an RF transmission line should be matched at the transmitter end is to:

transfer the maximum amount of power to the antenna

ensure that the radiated signal has the intended polarization

prevent frequency drift

overcome fading of the transmitted signal



B-006-06-11: If the centre impedance of a folded dipole is approximately 300 ohms, and you are using RG8U (50 ohms) coaxial lines, what is the ratio required to have the line and the antenna matched?

6:1

2:1

4:1

10:1
