Relationship of the pituitary gland to the brain and hypothalamus. (After D. S. Luciano, A. J. Vander, and J. H. Sherman, Human Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function, 2d ed., McGraw-Hill, 1983)

Image

from article Transmission lines

Two common transmission lines for communication. (a) Coaxial cable. (b) Strip line.

Image

from article Transmission lines

Equivalent circuit that represents three sections of a lossless transmission line. Each section is of length Δz, and has an inductor (L) and capacitor (C). Voltages (V ) and currents (I ), and their differences (ΔV and ΔI ) between successive…

from article Transmission lines

Signal detection on an oscilloscope. (a) Oscilloscope pictures of voltage pulses at three locations, z1, z2, and z3, on a transmission line, successively more distant from the signal generator. (b) Oscilloscope pictures of a periodic voltage sine…

Image

from article Transmission lines

Transmission line with characteristic impedance Zc, terminated in a load impedance ZL. A change of coordinate system (from z to ζ) is indicated.

Image

from article Transmission lines

Envelope of the voltage standing wave consisting of a wave propagating from z = −∞ and being reflected at z = 0. The wavelength, λ, and the maximum and minimum voltages, Vmax and Vmin, are indicated.

Image

from article Transmission lines

Two waveguides, with conventional coordinates. (a) Rectangular waveguide. (b) Cylindrical waveguide.

Image

from article Transmission lines

Dispersion curve for a rectangular waveguide of width a, showing relationship between the propagation constant, β, and the angular frequency, ω. Here, n specifies the mode of propagation, and c is the speed of light.

Image

from article Transmission lines

Equivalent circuit of a power transmission line. The single-phase circuit is used to represent balanced three-phase lines. Here, R and X are the resistance and reactance (at the operational frequency), and C is the capacitance of the entire…
