Explanation:
- 2. Assertion (A): The condition of minimum distortion in a transmission line is L = RC/G.
Reason (R): Line loading means addition of inductance to satisfy the condition L = RC/G.
Options- A. Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
- B. Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A
- C. A is correct but R is wrong
- D. A is wrong but R is correct Discuss
Correct Answer: Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A
Explanation:
The stray capacitances and inductances become important and affect the operation of the circuit.
At low frequencies the transit time between cathode and anode is a small fraction of period of oscillation.
However, at microwave frequencies this transit time becomes comparable to time period of oscillations.

Explanation:
It has an electron gun and a helix structure. However the interaction between electron beam and RF wave is different than in TWT.
The growing RF wave travels in opposite direction to the electron beam.
The frequency of wave can be changed by changing the voltage which controls the beam velocity.
Moreover the amplitude of oscillations can be decreased continuously to zero by changing the beam current.
It features are:
1. Frequency range - 1 GHz to 1000 GHz.
2. Power output - 10 mV to 150 mW (continuous wave) 250kW (pulsed).
It is used as signal source in transmitters and instruments.
- 5. Consider the following statements
- Impedance of Gunn diode is about tens of ohms.
- Impedance of Impatt diode is a few ohms.
- Impedance of Impatt diode are of the same order.
- Impedance of Impatt diode is more than that of Gunn diode.
Options- A. all
- B. 1 and 2 only
- C. 1, 2 and 3
- D. 1, 2 and 4 Discuss
Correct Answer: 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
This effects is called transferred electron effect. The impedance of a Gunn diode is tens of ohms.
A Gunn diode oscillator has a resonant cavity, an arrangement to couple Gunn diode to cavity, biasing arrangement for Gunn diode and arrangement to couple RF power to load.
Applications of Gunn diode oscillator include continuous wave radar, pulsed radar and microwave receivers.
An Impatt diode has n+ - p - i - p + structure and is used with reverse bias.
It exhibits negative resistance and operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown. Impatt diode circuits are classified as broadly tunable circuit, low Q circuit and high Q circuit.
The impedance of Impatt diode is a few ohms. The word Impatt stands for Impact Avalanche Transit Time diode.
The features of Impatt diode oscillator are : Frequency 1 to 300 GHz, Power output (0.5 W to 5 W for single diode circuit and upto 40 W for combination of several diodes), efficiency about 20%.
Its applications include police radar systems, low power microwave transmitter etc.
- 6. For a circular wave guide
Options- A. cutoff frequency for TE10 and TE01 modes are same
- B. cutoff frequency for TE10 and TE01 modes are different
- C. cutoff frequency for TE10 mode = twice the cutoff frequency for TE20 mode
- D. cutoff frequency for TE10 mode = haf the cutoff frequency for TE20 mode Discuss
Correct Answer: cutoff frequency for TE10 and TE01 modes are same
Explanation:
- 7. In a backward wave oscillator the wave
Options- A. travelling along the line winds itself back and forth
- B. progresses only in forward direction
- C. progresses only in backward direction
- D. either (a) or (c) Discuss
Correct Answer: travelling along the line winds itself back and forth
Explanation:
It has an electron gun and a helix structure. However the interaction between electron beam and RF wave is different than in TWT.
The growing RF wave travels in opposite direction to the electron beam.
The frequency of wave can be changed by changing the voltage which controls the beam velocity.
Moreover the amplitude of oscillations can be decreased continuously to zero by changing the beam current.
It features are:
1. Frequency range - 1 GHz to 1000 GHz.
2. Power output - 10 mV to 150 mW (continuous wave) 250kW (pulsed).
It is used as signal source in transmitters and instruments.
- 8. If f is the frequency of electromagnetic wave, fc is cutoff frequency, then in a rectangular waveguide
Options- A. attenuation is low when f > fc
- B. attenuation is low when f < fc
- C. attenuation is high when f < fc
- D. either (b) or (c) Discuss
Correct Answer: attenuation is low when f > fc
Explanation:
Therefore frequency should be higher than cutoff frequency for minimum attenuation.
- 9. In mode filter of the given figure which of the following modes is unaffected
Options- A. TE01
- B. TE10
- C. TE11
- D. all TM Discuss
Correct Answer: TE01
Explanation:
- 10. A branched duplexer requires
Options- A. TR tubes
- B. ATR tube
- C. both TR and ATR tube
- D. none of the above Discuss
Correct Answer: both TR and ATR tube
Explanation:
TR tube stands for transmit-receive tube and ATR tube stands for antitransmit receive tube.
Both these tubes are used in branched duplexer.
