1

The magnetron is a combination of a simple diode vacuum tube with built-in cavity and an extremely powerful permanent magnet.
2

One of the most versatile microwave RF amplifiers is the traveling-wave tube, which can generate thousands of watts of microwave power.
3

Gyrotrons, which are built and operated as klystrons, are used for amplification at microwave frequencies above GHz into the millimeter range.
4

A large antenna power loss caused by a(n) can be offset by flaring the end of a waveguide creating a horn antenna.
5

Most large earth-station use a Cassegrain feed arrangement.
6

The directivity of an antenna is measured in terms of beam .
7

A parabolic reflector is a large structure which focuses energy radiated by a horn into a narrow beam and reflects it toward its destination.
8

With the helical antenna, the electromagnetic field is caused to rotate producing what is known as polarization.
9

antennas are widely used on high-speed aircraft because they can be integrated into the metallic skin of the plane.
10

A phased array is an antenna system made up of a large group of similar antennas on a(n) plane.
11

antennas that automatically adjust their characteristics to the environment, use techniques to zero in on signals to be received and to ensure transmission under noisy conditions.
12

In the medical industry, microwave technology is used in machines that used to heat muscles and tissues without causing skin damage.
13

The electronic communication system known as , based on the principle that high-frequency RF signals are reflected by conductive targets is used with targets that include airplanes, ships, missiles, and automobiles.
14

Although they do not have to be visible, objects must be within line-of-sight radio distance in order for detection to occur.
15

Police radar units use continuous-wave radar for measuring the speed of vehicles.
