What is a kooman antenna?

A vertical array of horizontal full-wave dipoles that are driven by transposed two-conductor line and backed with a parasitic reflecting curtain or horizontal dipoles.


Is a wave length horizontal or vertical?

If you can visualize whipping a length of rope tied to a fixed spot back and forth, you can then perfectly visualize radio frequency waves. If you whip the rope up and down the wave is vertically polarized. If you whip it back and forth horizontally, it is horizontally polarized. If you use a set of "rabbit ears" (dipole) to transmit a signal and hold it so the antenna points up and down, the radiated waves will be vertically polarized. To receive vertically polarized waves best, you need to use a vertically polarized antenna. The same holds true for horizontally polarized systems. This is a very simple but applicable explanation. There are other kinds of polarization such as "circular" as used in FM broadcasting and space communications. Just remember that the transmitting antenna's design determines the polarization of a radiated wave. See the ARRL Handbook 621.384 in your library for more detail.


How can you find the wavelength by observing a standing wave?

If you are looking for the simple answer, you measure its horizontal distance.


What Describes lines that meet at right angle as in a transverse wave?

Lines that meet at a right angle, as in a transverse wave, are perpendicular to each other. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. This characteristic of transverse waves allows for the wave to exhibit properties such as polarization, where the oscillations are confined to a single plane.


What is VERTICAL deflection?

As we mentioned earlier, a CRT can be used to graphically and visually plot an electronic signal,such as a sine wave. This is done by using a second set of deflection plates called VERTICAL-DEFLECTION PLATES
