This is most important in antenna systems where mismatch loss in the transmitting and receiving antenna directly contributes to the losses the system—including the system noise figure. Other common RF system components such as filters , attenuators , splitters , and combiners will generate some amount of mismatch loss.
In telecommunications, return loss is a measure in relative terms of the power of the signal reflected by a discontinuity in a transmission line or optical fiber.This discontinuity can be caused by a mismatch between the termination or load connected to the line and the characteristic impedance of the line.
However the same 6:1 mismatch through 75 meters of RG-8A coax would incur 10.8 dB of loss at 146 MHz. [ 5 ] (pp19.4–19.6) Thus, a better match of the antenna to the feed line, that is, a lower SWR, becomes increasingly important with increasing frequency, even if the transmitter is able to accommodate the impedance seen (or an antenna tuner ...
A time-domain reflectometer; an instrument used to locate the position of faults on lines from the time taken for a reflected wave to return from the discontinuity.. A signal travelling along an electrical transmission line will be partly, or wholly, reflected back in the opposite direction when the travelling signal encounters a discontinuity in the characteristic impedance of the line, or if ...
Eliminating a tax on social security would mean a loss of tax revenue for the federal government, which would then either add to the deficit or need to be offset by cuts. Show comments Advertisement
The ratio of energy bounced back depends on the impedance mismatch. Mathematically, it is defined using the reflection coefficient. [2] Because the principles are the same, this concept is perhaps easiest to understand when considering an optical fiber. Imperfections in the glass create mirrors that reflect the light back along the fiber. [3]
When you do eventually sell the security again, you’ll be able to recover the tax benefit and write off the loss. 2. Long-term losses vs. short-term losses.
