13. [a] A load ZL = 10 + j1 0 0 is to be matched to a 50 0 line. Design (i) series-L shunt-C and (ii) Series-C and shunt-L matching networks and also find the Land C values at 500 MHz. [b] (i) Explain briefly about ilp and olp stability circles with necessary equations. (ii) The S-parameter of a BJT at VCE = 15 V and IC = 15 mA at f=500 MHz are: S11 = 0.7611-151; S22 = 0.4291-35 ;S12 = 0.025<31; S21 = 11.841102. Determine the stability. If the transistor is potentially unstable draw the i/p stability circle and also find suitable resistive loading to ensure stability.[6 +10] 14.
