One channel of communication is by the use of a coaxial cable. Such a cable is illustrated in . A inner copper wire plastic insulation protective covering Suggest the material from which the component labelled A on is made. Suggest two functions of the component labelled A. 1. 2. When a signal travels along the coaxial cable, it is attenuated. State the meaning of attenuation. State and explain why attenuation is frequently measured in decibels (dB). A television aerial is connected to a receiver using a coaxial cable of length 11 m. The attenuation per unit length of the cable is 190 dB km–1. Calculate the ratio output signal from coaxial cable input signal to coaxial cable . ratio = Please for Question 12.
