G9A07
What must be done to prevent standing waves on a feed line connected to an antenna?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. The antenna feed point impedance must be matched to the characteristic impedance of the feed line
Standing waves are prevented when the antenna feed point impedance matches the characteristic impedance of the feed line. Then all the power is absorbed by the load with nothing reflected.
Tip: Match the antenna to the line: no standing waves.
