High frequency (HF).
Which frequency range will show little effect from precipitation?
100
passed into space.
In sky-wave propagation, frequencies higher than the critical frequency are
100
Ionization.
This occurs when high-energy ultraviolet light waves from the sun enter the ionospheric region of the atmosphere and strike the gas atoms.
100
11-year cycle.
On which regular ionospheric variation do sunspots occur?
100
Transmit right-hand circular and receive left-hand circular polarizations.
Which types of polarization do most satellite communication terminals transmit and receive?
200
ducting.
Line-of-sight (LOS) radio waves that are guided through the air between two layers of the atmosphere are known as
200
optimum traffic frequency.
The term frequency of optimum transmission (FOT) is also referred to as the
200
time of day (TOD).
The atmospheric recombination process is dependent on the
200
Antenna.
In a basic communication system, this is used to convert radio frequency (RF) current oscillation into electric and magnetic fields of force.

A resonant antenna effectively radiates a radio signal for frequencies close to its designed frequency. Which percentage range, plus or minus, is it usually within?
300
Refraction.
Which condition gives sky-wave propagation its ability to communicate beyond the optical line-of-sight (LOS)?
300
skip zone.
In sky- and ground-wave propagation, the area of silence where no signals are received is known as the
300
F
Which layer of the ionosphere is most important for high-frequency (HF) communications?
300
what makes radio transmission possible.
The concept where alternating current (AC) changes in magnitude, and reverses its direction during each cycle, is
300
9.8–10.2 MHz.
The design frequency of a resonant antenna is 10 megahertz (MHz). What will be its frequency range?
400
angle of incidence.
The angle at which a radio wave enters the ionosphere is known as the
400
Multipathing.
This occurs when a transmitted signal travels over two or more separate paths during transmission.
400
Winter
During which season do we have the wider range of critical frequencies and less absorption of all frequencies?
400
10,000 cps.
At which point do magnetic fields around a wire no longer have time to collapse completely between alternations?
400
fundamental.
The lowest frequency at which an antenna resonates is known as its
500

There are several critical sky-wave propagation angles and frequencies. Radio waves that angle too low are
500

How many layers make up the Earth’s atmosphere?
500

As ionospheric solar variations, sunspots are disturbances that appear and disappear
500
Radiation.
In radio-wave creation, which type of field detaches from the antenna and travels through space at great distances?
500
reciprocity.
The ability of an antenna to both receive and transmit equally well is known as the antenna’s
