| Placing the preamplifiers as close to the detectors as possible minimizes the output impedance for driving further stages. |
| Both antennas feature linear polarization, an impedance of 50 ohms and maximum input power at 10 watts. |
| This feature sends a signal with a sharp edge down the transmission line and looks for reflections due to impedance imperfections. |
| It may be expressed as IX, where X, the reactance, is the imaginary part of the impedance. |
| The voltage ratios are equal to the turns ratios so we can just square the voltage ratios to get the impedance ratios. |
| If the load impedance is not equal to the transmission line impedance, the wattmeter will indicate the amount of reflected power. |
