What happens as the frequency of a signal in coaxial cable is increased?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. The loss increases
As frequency increases, the loss in coaxial cable increases. That is why low-loss cable matters more on VHF and UHF than on HF. The characteristic impedance stays the same as frequency changes.
Tip: Higher frequency, more coax loss.
