I. Identification: Write the answer at the left side of the number (no pencil).

Strictly no
erasure, any alteration of the answer means wrong. (60 points)
1. The decrease of signal level from one point to another.
2. The ratio of the power delivered to the input of the attenuator to the power
delivered at the output of the attenuator.
3. Figure of merit.
4. The rate of transition from passband to stopband and vice versa.
5. A class of amplifier whose output conducts load current during less than one-
half cycle of an input sinewave
6. The impedance which when used to terminate one pair of terminals of a 2 –
port network will cause the same impedance to be seen at the other pair.
7. The impedance which when used to terminate both pairs of a network will
simultaneously terminate all inputs and outputs with the same impedance in
both directions.
8. Network which has the ability to discriminate band of frequency and allow the
passage of band of frequencies.
9. A type of filter that attenuates one frequency or small band of frequencies and
passes all others.
10. A type of filter that passes the frequencies to which it is tuned and a few
adjacent frequencies but attenuates those higher and lower.
11. A non-adjustable passive network used to reduce the power level without
introducing appreciable distortion.
12. A measurement of the ratio of one power to another.
13. Boundary frequency between stopband and passband.
14. Class of amplifier that biased so that under normal operation the output power
never saturates or cut-off.
15. An approximation plot used to show the roll-off of filters.

II. Question (20 points)

1. How can the resonant frequency of an LC circuit having a variable capacitor at
maximum capacitance be doubled?
2. How is Q related to R in a tuned circuit? To bandwidth?

III. Problem Solving (30 points)

1. Design a 9 dB attenuator which has a symmetrical π network configuration and
which provides input and output matching for 0.6 kΩ.

2. 20 dBm + 30 dBn = ______ dBu

3. What is the Q of a parallel resonant circuit shunted by an 18 kΩ resistor if the L is

2.7 μH and f is 14.128 MHz?
