Which of the following is not true regarding standing wave?(a) In a standing wave the energy moves towards the power source(b) In a standing wave power loss occurs(c) Standing waves do not affect signal strength(d) Standing waves are not desirableI had been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.My enquiry is from Standing Waves topic in chapter Transmission Lines of Avionics

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (c) Standing waves do not affect signal strength

For explanation I WOULD say: Standing waves are not desirable. Some of the energy is reflected from the end of the line and ACTUALLY moves BACK up the line. This reflection indicates that the power produced by the generator is not totally absorbed by the load. When there is a power loss naturally the strength of the signal goes down.
