Voltage wave in transmission lines
The solution for the voltage in a transmission line can be written as:
$$V(z) = V_o^+ e^{-jkz} + V_o^- e^{jkz}$$
The voltage $V(z)$ is the difference between the conductors of the line at a certain ...

Determining whether signal meets the 12 dB SINAD voltage
The specification for a certain radio receiver says: Typically 12dB SINAD NBFM for 0.15uV at 145MHz.
If I understand correctly, this means that the received radio wave should have a voltage level of ...

How much voltage is on a typical high power (1000mw) 2.4Ghz WiFi antenna?
According to this sales listing for a 2.4Ghz antenna, it can handle up to 20 watts of power but has an impedance of 50 ohms.
That means that (at 20 watts), the input would need to be at more than 50 ...
