Quiz: Transmission Line Basics

Which of the following is not considered a conventional transmission line

• Twisted pair cable

• Optical fiber

• Coaxial cable

made of two parallel conductors separated by a space of 1⁄2 in to several inches.

• Parallel-Wire lines

• Coaxial Cable

• Twisted pair

consists of a solid center conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, usually a plastic insulator such as Teflon

• Parallel-Wire lines

• Coaxial Cable

• Twisted pair

consists of a solid center conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, usually a plastic insulator such as Teflon

• Parallel-Wire lines

• Coaxial Cable

• Twisted pair

two insulated solid copper wires covered with insulation and loosely twisted together

• Parallel-Wire lines

• Coaxial Cable

• Twisted pair

Transmission lines can be classified into two types, they are:

• Balanced lines

• Underbalanced lines

• Imbalanced lines

• Unbalanced lines

In an unbalanced line, one conductor is not connected to ground

• True

• False

A balanced line is one in which one wire is connected to ground

• True

• False

A transmission line where one conductor is connected to ground

• balanced line

• unbalanced line

• coaxial cable

A transmission line in which neither wire is connected to ground

• balanced line

• unbalanced line

• coaxial cable
