Biconical AntennaAn antenna consisting of two metal cones having a common axis with their vertices coinciding or adjacent and with coaxial-cable or waveguide feed to the vertices.
Bilog AntennaA combination (hybrid design) of a biconical and a log periodic antenna with an automatic crossover network. It has a frequency range from about 26 MHz to 2 GHz.
BondingThe use of low-resistance material to electrically connect a chassis, metal shield cans, cable shielding braid, and other supposedly equipotential points to eliminate undesirable electrical interaction resulting from high-impedance paths between them.
BroadbandWide bandwidth characteristics of a transmission medium and its ability to transport multiple signals and traffic types simultaneously.
Broadband EmissionAn emission that has a spectral energy distribution that is wide compared to a referenced bandwidth, such as that of the suseptible receptor or the measuring receiver.
CapacitanceThe ability of a a component or circuit to store an electric charge.
CapacitorA passive electronic component that consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating dielectric.
CE MarkingA symbol that indicates a product's compliance with EU legislation and enables the free movement of products within the European market. CE marking is a manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.
