  • Term
    Definition
  • The range of frequencies an electronic signal uses on a given transmission medium; the width of a frequency range in the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • A wireless transceiver at a fixed location that is part of a wireless communications network.
  • An 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.
  • A 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.
  • The 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.
  • Wide bandwidth characteristics of a transmission medium and its ability to transport multiple signals and traffic types simultaneously.
  • An 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.
