My study guide covers the questions in T6C and T6D of the question pool in four separate sections. Overall, the question pool committee added several questions to T6C and T6D. In this section, T6D12 is an added question…Dan
There are many different types of components in modern radio equipment. Below, we will describe the types of components you will need to know about to pass the Technician Class license examination.
A relay is a switch controlled by an electromagnet. (T6D02)
Meters are devices used to indicate many different values. For example, a meter can be used to display signal strength on a numeric scale. (T6D04) Meters are also used to indicate the output voltage of a power supply, the output power of a transmitter, and many other parameters.
Integrated circuit is the name of a device that combines several semiconductors and other components into one package. (T6D09) Integrated circuits may perform either analog or digital functions. One type of analog integrated circuit that is very common is the voltage regulator. A regulator is the type of circuit that controls the amount of voltage from a power supply. (T6D05)
An LED is commonly used as a visual indicator. (T6D07) LED is short for light-emitting diode. They come in a variety of colors.
When connecting electronic assemblies together, we often use cables with one or more conductors. Some of those conductors may have a shield around them that is connected to ground. A common reason to use shielded wire is to prevent coupling of unwanted signals to or from the wire. (T6D12)
