High frequency (HF).
Which frequency range will show little effect from precipitation?
|
passed into space.
In sky-wave propagation, frequencies higher than the critical frequency are
|
Ionization.
This occurs when high-energy ultraviolet light waves from the sun enter the ionospheric region of the atmosphere and strike the gas atoms.
|
11-year cycle.
On which regular ionospheric variation do sunspots occur?
|
Transmit right-hand circular and receive left-hand circular polarizations.
Which types of polarization do most satellite communication terminals transmit and receive?
|
ducting.
Line-of-sight (LOS) radio waves that are guided through the air between two layers of the atmosphere are known as
|
optimum traffic frequency.
The term frequency of optimum transmission (FOT) is also referred to as the
|
time of day (TOD).
The atmospheric recombination process is dependent on the
|
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?
|
Refraction.
Which condition gives sky-wave propagation its ability to communicate beyond the optical line-of-sight (LOS)?
|
skip zone.
In sky- and ground-wave propagation, the area of silence where no signals are received is known as the
|

Which layer of the ionosphere is most important for high-frequency (HF) communications?
|
what makes radio transmission possible.
The concept where alternating current (AC) changes in magnitude, and reverses its direction during each cycle, is
|
9.8–10.2 MHz.
The design frequency of a resonant antenna is 10 megahertz (MHz). What will be its frequency range?
|
angle of incidence.
The angle at which a radio wave enters the ionosphere is known as the
|
Multipathing.
This occurs when a transmitted signal travels over two or more separate paths during transmission.

During which season do we have the wider range of critical frequencies and less absorption of all frequencies?
|
10,000 cps.
At which point do magnetic fields around a wire no longer have time to collapse completely between alternations?
|
fundamental.
The lowest frequency at which an antenna resonates is known as its
|

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

How many layers make up the Earth’s atmosphere?
|
on the sun’s surface.
As ionospheric solar variations, sunspots are disturbances that appear and disappear

Radiation.
In radio-wave creation, which type of field detaches from the antenna and travels through space at great distances?
|
reciprocity.
The ability of an antenna to both receive and transmit equally well is known as the antenna’s
