Assertion (A): Impedance measurement at microwave frequencies is done by finding SWR.

Reason (R): SWR and reflection coefficient depend on the characteristic impedance and load impedance.

1 x 10^-6 x 1000 = 0.001.

Z₀₁ provides series inductances and teflon filled low impedance line Z₀₂ provides shunt capacitance.

Coplanar arms are decoupled.

Time required for microwave cooking is much less than the time required for conventional cooking.

PIN diode is not used in oscillators.

It uses a single cavity resonator for generating microwave oscillations.

Its parts are electron gun, resonator, repeller and output coupling.

It operates on the principle of positive feed back.

The repeller electrode is at negative potential and sends the partially bunched electron beam back to resonator cavity.

This positive feedback supports oscillations. Its feature are:

1. Frequency range - 2 to 100 GHz

2. Power output - 10 MW to about 2 W

3. Efficiency - 10 - 20 %

Its applications include radar receivers, local oscillator in microwave devices, oscillator for microwave measurements in laboratories etc.

Varactor diode is used in all the three applications.
