The characteristic impedance is rather important. Input and output equipment connected with co-axial cable should all be at the same impedance for efficient power transformation and a clean wave shape. All co-axial cables have a characteristic impedance due to their physical dimensions. The main contributor is the distance from the center conductor to the braid. This is mainly capacitance and stays constant. As the frequency goes higher across this capacitance; the effective impedance seems to decrease. As the impedance to the braid decreases; less power gets to the output end of the cable. Even worse, the wave shape gets distorted. Even a digital signal rounds off and looks like it is leaning. Impedance is rated at a particular frequency band.

How to make a homemade FM radio antenna?

The cost of repairing drywall damage would depend on how much damage is done. If you were to buy the drywall it ranges from $10 to $30 a sheet. Plus if you hired someone then it would cost more for labor then it would if you did it yourself.


Who is the father of radiology?

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen(1845 - 1923)German physicist who was a recipient of the first Nobel Prize for Physics, in 1901, for his discovery of X rays, which heralded the age of modern physics and revolutionized diagnostic medicine. Rontgen studied at the Polytechnic in Zurich and then was professor of physics at the universities of Strasbourg (1876-79), Giessen (1879-88), Wurzburg (1888-1900), and Munich (1900-20). His research also included work on elasticity, capillary action of fluids, specific heats of gases, conduction of heat in crystals, absorption of heat by gases, and piezoelectricity.In 1895, while experimenting with electric current flow in a partially evacuated glass tube (cathode-ray tube), Rontgen observed that a nearby piece of barium platinocyanide gave off light when the tube was in operation. He theorized that when the cathode rays (electrons) struck the glass wall of the tube, some unknown radiation was formed that traveled across the room, struck the chemical, and caused the fluorescence. Further investigation revealed that paper, wood, and aluminum, among other materials, are transparent to this new form of radiation. He found that it affected photographic plates, and, since it did not noticeably exhibit any properties of light, such as reflection or refraction, he mistakenly thought the rays were unrelated to light. In view of its uncertain nature, he called the phenomenon X-radiation, though it also became known as Rontgen radiation. He took the first X-ray photographs, of the interiors of metal objects and of the bones in his wife's hand.BIBLIOGRAPHY: Otto Glasser, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen and the Early History of the Roentgen Rays (1933, reissued 1993; originally published in German, 1931), focuses on the scientific events of 1856. W. Robert Nitske, The Life of Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, Discoverer of the X Ray (1971), treats the personal and public aspects of his life.

What will result in the best axial resolution long pulse length short pulse length low pulse repetition frequency or high pulsed repetition frequency?

== == In diagnostic ultrasound axial resolution is influenced by a number of factors including transmission pulse length and frequency of the probe. For best axial resolution short pulses are used - long pulses can potentially improve the signal to noise ratio but their use often results in "range side lobes", effectively a reduction in axial resolution. Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is a separate issue to axial resolution however high frequency probes are able to have a higher PRF (resulting in higher frame rates) than low frequency probes due to the higher rate of absorption of the higher frequency signals.
