2 to 1
b)
1 to 3
c)
1 to 1

5.
T7C05: Why do most solid-state amateur radio transmitters reduce output power as SWR increases?
a)
To protect the output amplifier transistors
b)
To comply with FCC rules on spectral purity

To improve the impedance match to the feed line
6.
T7C06: What does an SWR reading of 4:1 indicate?
a)
Loss of -4 dB
b)
Good impedance match

Gain of +4 dB
d)
Impedance mismatch
7.
T7C07: What happens to power lost in a feed line?
a)
It increases the SWR
b)
It comes back into your transmitter and could cause damage
c)
It is converted into heat
d)
It can cause distortion of your signal
8.
T7C08: What instrument other than an SWR meter could you use to determine if a feed line and antenna are properly matched?
a)
Voltmeter
b)
Ohmmeter
c)
Iambic pentameter

Moisture contamination
b)
Gamma rays
c)
The velocity factor exceeds 1.0
d)
Overloading
10.
T7C10: Why should the outer jacket of coaxial cable be resistant to ultraviolet light?
a)
Ultraviolet resistant jackets prevent harmonic radiation
b)
Ultraviolet light can increase losses in the cable’s jacket
c)
Ultraviolet and RF signals can mix, causing interference
