Correct
Typically use a dish shaped reflector to concentrate radiated energy into a
beam. - ANSWER Microwave antenna
These type of transformer cores have a significant effect on the coupling
within a transformer - ANSWER Laminated iron and iron slugs
These type of transformer cores concentrate the lines of force - ANSWER
Toroid
A single coil with unique winding and selective taps - ANSWER
Autotransformer
Effectively become a short when ignition threshold of gas occurs between
the plate and cathode. - ANSWER Gas Diode
Oscillate by themselves for a short period when cathode is pulsed. -
ANSWER Klystrons
Operate in a frequency range higher than klystrons, and are capable of
much more power. Used by RADAR and microwave ovens. - ANSWER
Magnetron
Uses an electron gun to emit electrons in the direction of a phosphor
coated surface such as a TV screen. - ANSWER Cathode Ray Tube
A metal/metal oxide diode. Performs very well at higher frequencies,
conducts high current and has lower losses than other diode types, Found
in "switching" (DC-DC converter) power supplies. - ANSWER Shottky
Diode
, Emits a light when turned on. That light is a very small beam, is very
coherent and may be modulated. They are an inexpensive substitute for a
true laser and are used in many printers. - ANSWER Laser Diode
Using special "doping" techniques, these are very unique. Conduct at
different rates and different bias levels. Used in amplification, switching,
oscillators, and other special applications. - ANSWER Tunnel Diode
Special type of diode that is designed to conduct in either direction when a
certain reverse bias level is exceeded, and is able to dissipated an extreme
amount of energy. Totally destruct when their maximum energy level is
reached, thus protecting circuits to the maximum. Are not polarity sensitive
and are the basis of the best surge suppressors. - ANSWER Metal Oxide
Varistor (MOV)
Semiconductor with capacitive qualities. Capacitance can vary as the
applied reverse bias voltage changes. - ANSWER Varactor
Two zeners connected in reverse in parallel. Used in an AC environment to
turn on, or avalanche, when the design maximum bias is exceeded. -
ANSWER Diac
Appears as two diodes of opposite polarity, parallel to each other and
containing a gate like the SCR. Gate might be activated by a digital
electronic signal or a mechanical switch to act as an ON/OFF switch. -
ANSWER Triac
Junction between two different metals that produces a voltage related to a
temperature difference. Widely used type of temperature sensor for
measurement and control and can also be used to convert heat into electric
power. Output varies, but is most often less than 100 microvolts per degree
of temperature change. - ANSWER Thermacouple
Type of transformer that couples an unbalanced transmission line to a
balanced line. - ANSWER Balun
