SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Dominant mode is that mode for which the cut-off wavelength (λ_C) achieves a maximum value. it has lowest cut off frequency which is equal to c/2a. So, it has maximum cut-off wavelength.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Signal to quantization noise in an n bit PCM is
S/N_Q = (SQNR) = 3/2.22n ……………………………………..(1)
Where, n is number of bits
It can also be written in dBs
(SQNR)dB = (S/N_Q )_dB= 1.76 + 6n…………………(2)
From above equations, we get that (S/N) increases with increasing value of ‘n’.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor electronic components. It emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. RS flip-flop is used as a latch
S5. Ans.(a)
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. All the three 6 μF capacitors are connected in parallel.
Net capacitance is
⇒ 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 μF
Now, Net capacitance 18 μF is in series with 18 μF.
The equivalent capacitance is
C_eq=(18 × 18 )/(18 +18 )=(18 × 18)/36=9μF
S7. Ans.(a)
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given:
fm1 = W
fm2 = W
fm3 = 2W
fm4 = 3W
In TDM, Minimum bandwidth is
BWmin = R_b/2
For minimum bandwidth, n = 1, that means Rb = nfs
Sampling frequency of each message signal is
⇒ fs1 = 2fm1 = 2 x W = 2W
⇒ fs2 = 2fm2 = 2 x W = 2W
⇒ fs3 = 2fm3 = 2 x 2W = 4W
⇒ fs4 = 2fm4 = 2 x 3W = 6W
∴ fs = fs1 + fs2 + fs3 + fs4 = 14W
Now,
∴ Rb =1 x 14W = 14W
So, BWmin = 14W/2 = 7W
Therefore, The minimum bandwidth required for transmission of this TDM signal is 7W.
S9. Ans. (c)
Sol. When switching from the conducting to the blocking state, a diode or rectifier has stored charge which must be discharged at first before the diode blocks reverse current. This discharging or reverse flow of current, takes a finite amount of time known as the Reverse Recovery Time.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Net impedance,
Z = √(R ² +X² )
where,
R = resistance of circuit
X = reactance of circuit
When parallel resonant circuit is shunted by a resistance then reactance of the circuit decreases hence circuit impedance is decreased.
