Duration : 30 Mins.

1) Question 1?
When will a short pulse travel the length of a 100 m coaxial cable having a specific
capacitance of C =225 pF/m and a specific inductance of L =25 x108 H/m.
2) Question 2?
a) What is the maximum frequency component of the signal having rise time 35nS
b) What is the rise time of the signal if it has maximum frequency component as 175MHz
3) Question 3?
What is cutoff frequency and how it influences cable size (by deciding maximum b value
(bmax))?
4) Question 4?
A faulty 50m coaxial cable having polyethylene as dielectric material (r=2.25), when
injected with PMT signal, has a similar reflection at 115uS. Find the type of fault and the
distance from the signal injection end where the fault has occurred?
5) Question 5?
State the various cases of impedance matching for load impedance (ZL) with coaxial cable
having characteristic impedance (Z0).
6) Question 6?
What fraction of the signal will be reflected from the load, if a signal is transmitted through
a coaxial cable having 50 as it characteristic impedance and terminated with a load ZL =
100+j150 (use smith chart)
