LVL 5 Final Exam
Note: 1. This Question Paper consists of two parts (Part A and Part B).
2. Answering the questions in Part A is compulsory.
3. Answer any THREE Questions from Part B.
4. All questions carry equal marks.
PART –A
1. An antenna with an impedance of 60+𝑗40 Ω is to be matched to a 50 Ω lossless line with a shunt
stub tuner. Using a Smith chart determine:
2. For the circuit shown in Fig.1, find the scattering parameters for the Wilkinson power divider.
Analyze the circuit using the even-odd mode analysis.
3. Using the insertion loss method, design a third order Butterworth low-pass filter with the following
specifications: 𝑅𝑠 = 𝑅𝐿 = 75 Ω, 𝑓𝑐 = 2 𝐺𝐻𝑧. Use Table. 1 if necessary.
PART –B
4. What are the different ways to characterize a 2-port microwave network? With the help of a block
diagram and equivalent circuit explain the impedance parameters.
5. Design a maximally flat low pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 2 GHz, impedance of 75 Ω ,
and at least 17 dB insertion loss at 3 GHz. Use Table.1 to construct the LC ladder network.
