B-006-08: Wavelength vs physical length

B-006-08-01: If an antenna is made longer, what happens to its resonant frequency?

It decreases

It increases

It stays the same

It disappears



B-006-08-02: If an antenna is made shorter, what happens to its resonant frequency?

It increases

It stays the same

It disappears

It decreases



B-006-08-03: The wavelength for a frequency of 25 MHz is:

12 metres (39.4 ft)

15 metres (49.2 ft)

4 metres (13.1 ft)

32 metres (105 ft)



B-006-08-04: The velocity of propagation of radio frequency energy in free space is:

300 000 kilometres per second

3000 kilometres per second

150 kilometres per second

186 000 kilometres per second



B-006-08-05: Adding a series inductance to an antenna would:

decrease the resonant frequency

increase the resonant frequency

have little effect

have no change on the resonant frequency



B-006-08-06: The resonant frequency of an antenna may be increased by:

shortening the radiating element

lowering the radiating element

increasing the height of the radiating element

lengthening the radiating element



B-006-08-07: The speed of a radio wave:

is the same as the speed of light

is infinite in space

is always less than half speed of light

varies directly with frequency



B-006-08-08: At the end of suspended antenna wire, insulators are used. These act to:

limit the electrical length of the antenna

increase the effective antenna length

allow the antenna to be more easily held vertically

prevent any loss of radio waves by the antenna



B-006-08-09: To lower the resonant frequency of an antenna, the operator should:

lengthen it

shorten it

ground one end

centre feed it with TV ribbon feeder



B-006-08-10: One solution to multiband operation with a shortened radiator is the "trap dipole" or trap vertical. These "traps" are actually:

a coil and capacitor in parallel

large wire-wound resistors

coils wrapped around a ferrite rod

hollow metal cans



B-006-08-11: The wavelength corresponding to a frequency of 2 MHz is:

150 m (492 ft)

360 m (1181 ft)

1500 m (4921 ft)

30 m (98 ft)
