English term or phrase: Spike
"When the return loss trace of the feed assembly is examined, some of the traces will show a wide *"spike"*. This *spike* is caused by having an imbalance in any pair of the three pairs of horn tuning screws. The *spike* becomes more sensitive to the imbalance the further the pair of screws are inserted into the feed horn."

Gracias. Ojala me puedan ayudar!
