  2. Leaky feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_feeder

    The cable is "leaky" in that it has gaps or slots in its outer conductor to allow the radio signal to leak into or out of the cable along its entire length. Because of this leakage of signal, line amplifiers are required to be inserted at regular intervals, typically every 350 to 500 metres, to boost the signal back up to acceptable levels.

  3. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    A type of cable called litz wire (from the German Litzendraht, braided wire) is used to mitigate skin effect for frequencies of a few kilohertz to about one megahertz. It consists of a number of insulated wire strands woven together in a carefully designed pattern, so that the overall magnetic field acts equally on all the wires and causes the ...

  4. Corona discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

    Coronas can generate audible and radio-frequency noise, particularly near electric power transmission lines. Therefore, power transmission equipment is designed to minimize the formation of corona discharge. Corona discharge is generally undesirable in: Electric power transmission, where it causes: Power loss; Audible noise

  5. Van Eck phreaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking

    This high-frequency, high-voltage signal creates electromagnetic radiation that has, according to Van Eck, "a remarkable resemblance to a broadcast TV signal". [3] The signal leaks out from displays and may be captured by an antenna, and once synchronization pulses are recreated and mixed in, an ordinary analog television receiver can display ...

  6. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

    The reception or transmission of radio waves, a form of electromagnetic radiation, to or from an antenna within a Faraday cage is heavily attenuated or blocked by the cage; however, a Faraday cage has varied attenuation depending on wave form, frequency, or the distance from receiver or transmitter, and receiver or transmitter power.

  7. Grid-leak detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-leak_detector

    The heyday for grid leak detectors was the 1920s, when battery operated, multiple dial tuned radio frequency receivers using low amplification factor triodes with directly heated cathodes were the contemporary technology. The Zenith Models 11, 12, and 14 are examples of these kinds of radios. [8]

  8. Crosstalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosstalk

    NEXT is a measure of the ability of a cable to reject crosstalk, so the higher the NEXT value, the greater the rejection of crosstalk at the local connection. It is referred to as near end because the interference between the two signals in the cable is measured at the same end of the cable as the interfering transmitter. The NEXT value for a ...

  9. Television interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_interference

    A modern PC is a device which is operating in the VHF/UHF frequency range using square waves. As the cases on many computers are not perfect shields, some of this radio-frequency energy can leak out and cause interference to radio (and sometimes TV) reception. Switched-mode power supplies or packs can be a source of interference.
