Q1.
With the help of a block diagram, explain a basic communication system and
role of antenna in a wireless communication system.
the
Q2.
What are the main categories of antennas available? Explain with examples
Q3.
Design a matching network to match a 120 ohms transmission line with antenna input
impedance of 678 +j140 at 873Khz
Q4.
Taking the example of a terminated wire, explain how a single wire antenna radiates
e.m waves.
Q5.
A transmitter having an impedance of 240 ohms has to be matched to antenna with an
input impedance of 120 ohms. Design a matching network to be connected between
the two for maximum transfer of power from TX to antenna at 5MHz.
Q6.
A 75ohms resistor is connected to a transmission line of characteristic impedance of
50ohms. What is the VSWR at its termination?
Q7.
The impedance of a transmission line is 50 ohms , this has to supply RF power to a
half wave dipole antenna . Design the matching network to be connected between the
two for maximum transfer of power at 5 MHz.
Q8.
An antenna and transmission line are connected via a impedance matching network,
the VSWR at the termination of transmission line is 2. Find the value of reflection
coefficient and explain the effect of this on antennas performance
Q9.
An antenna having an input impedance of 300 +86j ohms has to be fed power using a
transmission line(coaxial cable) with an impedance of 75 ohms . Design the matching
network to be connected between the two for maximum transfer of power at VH F
band
Q10.
Repeat Q9 for a frequency of 890 MHz
