What does an antenna matching unit do?
  • Correct Answer
    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

When will a power source deliver maximum output to the load?
  • When air wound transformers are used instead of iron-core transformers
  • When the power-supply fuse rating equals the primary winding current
  • Correct Answer
    When the impedance of the load is equal to the impedance of the source
  • When the load resistance is infinite

What happens when the impedance of an electrical load is equal to the internal impedance of the power source?
  • The electrical load is shorted
  • Correct Answer
    The source delivers maximum power to the load
  • No current can flow through the circuit
  • The source delivers minimum power to the load

Why is impedance matching important?
  • 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
  • Correct Answer
    So the source can deliver maximum power to the load

If an antenna is correctly matched to a transmitter, the length of transmission line:
  • must be a full wavelength long
  • must be an odd number of quarter-wave
  • must be an even number of half-waves
  • Correct Answer
    will have no effect on the matching

The reason that an RF transmission line should be matched at the transmitter end is to:
  • ensure that the radiated signal has the intended polarization
  • Correct Answer
    transfer the maximum amount of power to the antenna
  • prevent frequency drift
  • overcome fading of the transmitted signal

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?
  • 2:1
  • 4:1
  • 10:1
  • Correct Answer
    6:1
