Care of transmission lines
Most radio engineers will agree that after the antenna and ground system, transmission lines are probably the most neglected item. For both AM and FM,
Using the operating impedance bridge
Many test instruments have been developed in the history of broadcast engineering. Some have had brief lives; others simply filled the needs that many
Parasitic radiators
A radio engineer's definition of a parasite might be something that obtains its power from another's energy. In other areas of broadcast engineering it
How is your VSWR?
One phenomenon common to transmitter installations does not always receive the attention it warrants. Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) can wreak havoc
