    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    I believe you are correct. From the document I do have: "each UUT consists of an antenna and associated RF cable". I know the losses are dependent on the DUT, I'm just looking to generate some data with the same basic 'shape' as I might get plugging a network analyzer into each of my 'antenna...

    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by simulating losses of a tx line vs simulating a network analyzer. Basically my system consists of multiple cable assemblies and multiple antennas. What I'd like to do is mock up a graph of insertion loss or VSWR vs frequency for each cable line - antenna...

    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    So regardless of my technical knowledge for a minute, if I had a technical document for an RF system that listed the components and specifications like voltage, current, IL limits, etc...could I come up with the output of the network analyzer without having a network analyzer or the actual system?

    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    To be honest, most of this thread has gone way over my head. I do appreciate all of your comments, and I have been researching and reading everything I can find on the subject, but my goal is to somehow produce the output of a network analyzer (IL/VSWR vs. Frequency) manually by using...

    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    Are there some general equations that relate power and frequency? I haven't been able to find any useful equations. Thanks again for your help.

    Insertion Loss / VSWR of RF Lines

    Hello all, I'm not sure if any of you have ever used a device that measures RF transmission line loss and presents it as a graph of Insertion Loss (dB) vs. Frequency (GHz), but that is exactly what I'm trying to calculate. I've been looking through equations for days, and I just don't...

    Z-score/P-Values vs. Confidence Intervals

    Hey all, 2 quick questions: 1. When dealing with the difference between 2 population means (independent samples) or differences of paired data (dependent), a lot of the questions are similar to: "is there sufficient evidence to prove that the difference is 0" or "is there enough evidence to...

    *Proof* Sum of Rational and Irrational Numbers

    Homework Statement Prove by contradiction: If a and b are rational numbers and b != 0, and r is an irrational number, then a+br is irrational. In addition, I am to use only properties of integers, the definitions of rational and irrational numbers, and algebra. You guys should also know that...

    This seemingly-easy reference problem is making me crazy

    This seemingly-easy reference problem is making me crazy! The airport terminal has a moving sidewalk to speed passengers through a long corridor. Larry does not use the moving sidewalk. He takes 145 s to walk through the corridor. Curly, who simply stands on the moving sidewalk, covers the same...

    C/C++ How can I tackle building a tetris game in C++ with my team?

    I'm taking an undergrad CS course, and we've been split up into teams and have been assigned a tetris game in C++. The limitations are very loose, and we can basically do it however we want. I've had 2 C++ classes and a class in Java, so I'm not that new to programming, but I am new to...

    Don't know where to start-Uniform Circular Motion

    ok I am starting to understand...before I do all the work for no reason, should i use a dot product with these 2 vectors to figure out the angle?

    Don't know where to start-Uniform Circular Motion

    the acceleration vectors always point towards the center, but I still don't understand what that means...does that mean something nets to 0?

    Don't know where to start-Uniform Circular Motion

    At t_{}1=2.00s, the acceleration of a particle in counter-clockwise circular motion is (6.00m/s^{}2)i + (4.00m/s^{}2)j. It moves at constant speed. At time t_{}2=5.00s, its acceleration is (4.00m/s^{}2)i + (-6m/s^{}2)j. What is the radius of the path taken by the particle if t_{}2 - t_{}1 is...
