PART – B (5 x 16 = 80 Marks)

Derive the expressions for the voltage and current at any point on the transmission line in terms of propagation constant, length and characteristic impedance of the line. Hence deduce an expression for input impedance in terms of reflection coefficient.

12.a)What are the special considerations of radio frequency lines? A radio frequency line with Z0 = 70 ohm is terminated by ZL = 115 – j80ohm at l = 2.5m. obtain the VSWR & the maximum and minimum line impedances. Derive the formula used.

(OR)
12.b)A loss less line has a standing –wave ratio of 4. The Ro is 150 ohm and the maximum voltage measured on the line is 135 V. obtain the power being delivered to the load. Derive the formula used.

13.a)A loss less line with Z0 = 300 ohm in operated at 200 MHz. The line is terminated with a load ZL to produce VSWR = 4.48, the 1st voltage minimum occurs at 6cm from the load end. Determine 2 stubbing positions closest to the load and the corresponding lengths of short-circuited stubs having a characteristic impedance of 300 ohm for matching.

(OR)

13.b)A 50 ohm line feeds an inductive load Z = 35+j35 ohm. Design a double stub tuner to match this load to the line (make use of a Smith’s chart).

14.a)Design a composite low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 10KHz for a load resistance of 500 ohm. It should have high attenuation at 10.65 KHz.

(OR)

14.b)Design a composite high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 10KHz for a load resistance of 500 ohm with high attenuation at 9.39 KHz.

15.a)Design a symmetrical 600W bridged – T resistance attenuator to have an attenuation of 20dB.

(OR)

15.b)A length of telephone cable is driven from a 600W resistance. The measured insertion loss in dB is tabulated:
f(Hz) 30 100 500 1000 2000 4000 6000
loss(dB) 3.8 3.8 4.6 6.6 10.5 16.4 20.7
Design a lattice network to equalize the cable within 2dB from 30 to 4000 Hz. The overall insertion loss of the cable and equalizer must not exceed 20dB.
