1. Write Relationships between neper and decibel?
2. Write the disadvantages of constant K filter?

Ideally the attenuation should change sharply in the stop band. But in all
proto type filters the attenuation changes gradually in the stop band.
Hence frequencies near cut off frequency are passed through the filter.
In the pass band output of the filter should remain constant which
means the characteristics impedance remains constant. But
characteristic impedance varies with frequency from value R throughout
the pass band. Hence the filter cannot be terminated properly.
3. Draw the equivalent circuit of a unit length of a transmission line.
4. What is meant by infinite line?

It is an imaginary line of infinite length having input impedance equal to
the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.
A line of finite length, terminated in a load equivalent to its
characteristic impedance appears the sending end as an infinite line.
5. Write the disadvantages of single stub matching.
Single stub matching requires the stub to be placed at a definite point

on the line.
it requires two adjustment to be made, these being the location and the
length of the stub.
Single stub matching is adequate for open wire lines. But for coaxial
lines this is not suitable because it is difficult to obtain the location of
voltage minimum without slotted line section. That is coaxial line
placement of a stub at exact point is difficult.
6. Write the relationship between SWR and reflection coefficient.
S= 1+ | k | / 1- | K|
(OR)
K= S-1/S+1.
7. Write Maxwells equations.
8. What is meant by dominant mode? What is the dominant mode for
parallel plate wave guide?
The mode which has the lowest cutoff frequency is called dominant
mode.TE10 is the dominant mode in TE waves.
9. Write the expression for the wave impedance and guide wavelength for
TEM Mode.
10.What is the dominant mode of a rectangular waveguide? Why?
The wave which has the lowest cutoff frequency is called the dominant
wave. In rectangular wave guide, the lowest order TE wave, TE10 mode has
the lowest cutoff frequency and so TE10 wave is the dominant wave.
NOV / DEC 2010
1. A constant K T Section high pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 10

KHz. The design impedance is 600 ohms. Determine the value of L.
L=Rk/4fc
L= 600/41010
L=4.77mh.
2. What are the advantage of m-derived filters?
Attenuation rises sharply at cutoff frequency.

In the pass band output of the filter remains constant which means the
characteristic impedance remains constant throughout the pass band
3. Define delay distortion?
When a signal having many frequency components are transmitted along the
line, all the frequencies will not have same time of transmission, some
frequencies being delayed more than others. So the received end waveform
will not be identical with the input waveform at the sending end because
some frequency components will be delayed more than those of other
frequencies. This type of distortion is called phase or delay distortion.
4. Write the expressions for the phase constant and velocity of

propagation for telephone cable.
5. A lossless line has a characteristics impedance of 400 ohms. Determine
the standing wave ratio if the receiving end impedance is 800+ j 0.0
ohms.
ANS:
Z0=400ohm, Zr=800+j0.0ohms.
K=ZR-Z0/ZR+Z0 =1/3, S= 1+|K|/1-|K| = 1+1/3 / 1- 1/3 =2.
6. Write the expressions for the input impedance of open and short
circuited dissipationless line.
Zoc = -j R0 cot (2/lambda)s.
Zsc = jR0 tan (2/lambda)s.
7. Define the cutoff frequency for the guided waves.
The frequency bellow which the wave is attenuated exponentially and
above which the wave propagation occurs is called cutoff frequency.
The frequency at which wave motion ceases is called critical frequency
or cutoff frequency fc of a wave guide. At cutoff frequency fc.
8. For a frequency of 6GHz and plane separation of 3 cm, find the group
and phase velocities for the dominant mode.
Ans : C/P=5.42ms, CP=1.659m/s.
9. Calculate the cutoff wavelength for the TM11 mode in a standard
rectangular waveguide if a=4.5cm.
Ans: m=1 n=1
Lamdanot=4.02.
10.Give the applications of cavity resonators.
Used in cavity meters.
Used in klystron amplifiers.
Used in Reflex klystron oscillators and cavity magnetrons.
Used in duplexers in radar systems.

1. For a symmetrical network, define propagation constant and
characteristics impedance.
The current ratio or voltage ratio is expressed in exponential term
under the condition of Z0 termination.
Characteristic impedance of a symmetrical network is the impedance
measured at the input terminals of the first network in a chain of
infinite networks in cascade and is denoted as Z0.
2. What are the disadvantages of m-derived filters?
Attenuation rises sharply at cut off frequency.
In the pass band output of the filter remains constant which means the
characteristic impedance remains constant throughout the pass band.
3. How can distortion be reduced in a transmission line?
A line in which there is no phase or frequency distortion is called a
distortion less line. The condition for a distortion less line is given as
RC=LG.
4. A transmission line has Z0=745 12degree ohms and is terminated is
ZR=100ohm calculate the reflection loss in Db.

5. Express standingwave ratio in terms of a reflection coefficient.
S= 1+|K|/1-|K|
(OR)
|K|=S-1/S+1.
6. Mention the application of quarter waveline.
A quarter wave line is used for impedance matching.(i.e) it matches
the load with the sources and ensures that maximum power is being
transferred to the load.
Application:
i). used as a transformer to match a load ZR ohms.
ii). Used as impedance matching inverter.
iii). Used as couple a transmission line to a resistive load such as
an antenna.
