Flashcards

Standing wave pattern

A pattern of alternating high and low intensities of a wave along a transmission line, caused by the interference of incident and reflected waves.

Transmission line

A system for transmitting electromagnetic waves, often used in microwave circuits.

Open-circuited line

A transmission line with an open end, leading to maximum reflection.

Short-circuited line

A transmission line with a short at the end, causing complete reversal of the signal.

Basic Block Diagram

  • Gunn Power Supply -> Gunn Oscillator -> PIN Modulator -> Isolator -> Slotted Waveguide -> Variable Attenuator -> Frequency Meter -> Detector Probe -> DSO/VSWR Meter

Precautions

  • Ensure complete sincerity and precision in the experiment
  • Set the Gunn bias voltage to zero before starting the experiment
  • Turn on the Gunn power supply
  • Gradually increase the Gunn bias voltage to 9.5V
  • Conduct the experiment
  • At the end, decrease the Gunn bias voltage back to zero and turn off the system
