SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans (c)
Sol. In RS Flip-Flop no change occurs when both the inputs are Low i.e. R = 0 & S = 0.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. A system is said to be causal if the output at any time depends only on the present and the past values. i.e. for t < 0, y(t) = 0.
The Hilbert transform is characterized by the Impulse response.
h(t) = 1/πt where, -∞ < t < ∞
and, h(t) ≠ 0 for t < 0.
We can see that it is defined for values t < 0. So, it is non-causal system.
The Hilbert transform is a non-causal linear time-invariant filter.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. In wireless communications, Fading is variation of the attenuation of a signal with respect to various parameters. Selective fading causes serious distortion of modulated signal
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. It is a case of wheat stone bridge.
At balance condition,
⇒ 12 × 0.5 = 0.5 × (x+6)
⇒ 6 = 0.5 × (x+6)
⇒ 60/5 = x + 6
⇒ x + 6 = 12
So, x = 6 Ω
S5. Ans (d)
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Enable Interrupt (EI) – The interrupt enable FF is set and all interrupts are enabled following the execution of next instruction followed by EI. No flags are affected. After the system reset, the interrupt enable flip-flop is reset, thus disabling the interrupts. This instruction is necessary to enable all the interrupts except TRAP.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. The Schottky diode is a semiconductor diode. Its junction is formed of semiconductor and metal. It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action. It is also called as Schottky barrier diode or hot-carrier diode.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. The Power Spectral Density is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function. The PSD of white noise is a constant.
White noise describes a random process whose mean is zero. It has autocorrelation as a delta-function. The Power Spectral Density is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function. The PSD is uniform. Sx(f) = FT{ Rx(τ )}
Spectral density of white noise is
S9. Ans.(b)
sol. If resistances are connected in parallel then the equivalent resistance will be smaller than the smallest resistance.
For example –
If R_1 = 2 Ω and R_2 = 6 Ω is connected in parallel then,
Equivalent resistance (R_T ) is
1/R_T = 1/R_1 +1/R_2 = 1/3+1/6 = (2+1)/6
⇒ R_T = 6/3 Ω
So, R_T = 2 Ω
Hence, R_T<R_1. Thus proved.
S10. Ans (b)
Sol. DRAM memory technology has MOS technology at the heart of the design, fabrication and operation. Depending on the working of DRAM, it can be seen that the basic DRAM memory cell uses a capacitor to store each bit of data and a transfer device – a MOSFET – for acting as a switch.
