TABLE OF CONTENTS The following is a list of symbols used throughout this book. Where more than a single definition is given for the same symbol the proper choice will be evident from its usage in the text. Voltage and current symbols, except where specifically stated, indicate the root mean square value of the alternating sinusoid.
| B | Susceptance, mhos |
| B p | Susceptance of an equivalent parallel circuit element |
| B s | Susceptance of an equivalent series circuit element |
| +B p | Capacitive susceptance of an equivalent parallel circuit element |
| -B p | Inductive susceptance of an equivalent parallel circuit element |
| +B s | Capacitive susceptance of an equivalent series circuit element |
| -B s | Inductive susceptance of an equivalent series circuit element |
| B/Y 0 | Normalized susceptance component of admittance |
| C | Capacitance, farads |
| D | Distance from a voltage maximum or minimum |
| dB | Decibel = 10 log 10 ( P 1/ P 2) |
| dBS | Standing wave ratio in decibels = 20 log 10 S |
| E | Voltage (rms sinusoid) in volts |
| E p | Voltage at a point along a standing wave |
| E r | Voltage at receiving end of a waveguide |
| E s | Voltage at sending end of a waveguide |
| E max | Voltage at a standing wave maximum |
| E min | Voltage at a standing wave minimum |
| e | Potential at any distance x from the sending end of a waveguide at time t |
| e | Base of natural logarithms |
| ? | Base of natural logarithms |
| e/ (PZ 0) 1/2 | Normalized waveguide voltage (rms) |
| e/ (P/Y 0) 1/2 | Normalized... |
