Diagram of leaky feeder cable. A leaky feeder is a communications system used in underground mines and inside tunnels. [1] Manufacturers and cabling professionals use the term "radiating cable" [2] [3] [better source needed] [4] as this implies that the cable is designed to radiate: something that a typical coaxial cable is generally not intended to do.
The length from base to tip, and width of the base of the pyramid structure is chosen based on the lowest expected frequency when a wide-band absorber is sought. For low-frequency damping in military applications, this distance is often 60 cm (24 in), while high-frequency panels are as short as 7.5 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in).
In a radio antenna, the feed line (feedline), or feeder, is the cable or other transmission line that connects the antenna with the radio transmitter or receiver.In a transmitting antenna, it feeds the radio frequency (RF) current from the transmitter to the antenna, where the energy in the current is radiated as radio waves.
Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel, or are propagated, from one point to another in vacuum, or into various parts of the atmosphere. [1]: 26‑1 As a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization, and scattering. [2]
Plate detector circuit with cathode bias. Cathode bias RC time constant three times period of lowest carrier frequency. C L is typically around 250 pF.. In electronics, a plate detector (anode bend detector, grid bias detector) is a vacuum tube circuit in which an amplifying tube having a control grid is operated in a non-linear region of its grid voltage versus plate current transfer ...
Chest trauma, a major cause of subcutaneous emphysema, can cause air to enter the skin of the chest wall from the neck or lung. [9] When the pleural membranes are punctured, as occurs in penetrating trauma of the chest, air may travel from the lung to the muscles and subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall. [9]
The radio horizon is the locus of points at which direct rays from an antenna are tangential to the surface of the Earth. If the Earth were a perfect sphere without an atmosphere, the radio horizon would be a circle. The radio horizon of the transmitting and receiving antennas can be added together to increase the effective communication range.
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]
