SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given:
⇒ X(z) = (z+z^(-3))/(z+z^(-1) )
⇒ X(z) = ((1+z^(-4)))/((1+z^(-2)))
⇒ X(z) = (1+z^(-4))〖(1+z^(-2))〗^(-1)
⇒ X(z) = (1+z^(-4))(1 – z^(-2) + z^(-4) – . . . . . . . . . )
⇒ X(z) = (1) (1 – z^(-2) + z^(-4) – . . . . . . . . . ) +
(z^(-4))(1 – z^(-2) + z^(-4) – . . . . . . . . . )
⇒ X(z) = (1 – z^(-2) + z^(-4) – . . . . . . . . . ) + (z^(-4) – z^(-6) + . . . . . . . )
⇒ X(z) = (1 – z^(-2) + 2z^(-4) – 2z^(-6). . . . . . . . . )
So, x(n) = ?(n) – ?(n – 2) + 2?(n – 4) – 2?(n – 6) + . . . . .
Hence, x(n) has alternate zeros i.e. at n = 0, 2, 4, 6, . . . .
S2. Ans.(c)
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Given:
Resistance of coil is R = 10 Ω
Inductive = 31.8 mH
frequency(f) = 50 Hz
V = 230 volts
Inductive reactance is
⇒ X_L = ωL = 2πfL
⇒ X_L = 2 × 3.14 × 50 × 31.8 × 10^(-3)
⇒ X_L = 2 × 50 × 10^(-3) × 99.582
∴ X_L = 10Ω
Net Coil impedance is
⇒ Z = √((10)^2+(10)^2 ) = √200
∴ Z = 14.14 Ω
Circuit current is
⇒ I =V/Z
⇒ I = 230/14.14
So, I = 16.26 A
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. It is having base as 4 so there will be total 4 numbers in this i.e., 0, 1, 2 & 3.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Efficiency(η) is the ratio of dc output power to ac input power.
The maximum efficiency of full wave rectifier is 81%.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. For a causal system all the poles should lie inside the unit circle in z-plane.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. From Norton Theorem, we get Norton current source and Norton equivalent resistance in parallel to it.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Channel forming in the MOSFET will decrease the input impedance of the MOSFET and in absence of channel it achieves extremely high input impedance.
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. It is given that the number of quantization levels is increased from 4 to 64.
We know that in PCM,
⇒ BW = nfS
And, n = log2L
For L= 4,
⇒ n1 = log24
So, n1 = 2 bits
For L = 64,
⇒ n2 = log264
So, n2 = 6 bits
Now,
⇒ (BW)1 = n1fS = 2fS
⇒ (BW)2 = n2fS = 6fS
So, BW_2/BW_1 = (6f_S)/〖2f〗_S = 3
Therefore, BW increases by 3 times.
S10. Ans (b)
Sol. A circularly polarized wave can be in one of two possible states, right circular polarization in which the electric field vector rotates in a right-hand sense with respect to the direction of propagation and left circular polarization in which the vector rotates in a left-hand sense. Circular polarization is a limiting case of the more general condition of elliptical polarization. The sum of a left-handed circular polarization and right-handed polarization leads to Elliptical Polarization.
