a) Different amplitude
b) No distortion
c) Time delay
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The output from the ideal transmission line has some time delay different amplitude but it should not have distortion it should have the same shape as the input.
11. The point at which the output signal power has fallen to 0.707 of its peak value is called as _____
a) 3db point
b) Half power point
c) 3db & Half power point
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The frequency at which the output signal power falls to half the peak value is called as half power point or 3db point.
12. The ratio of the filter bandwidth at -60db and -6db amplitude response point is called as _____
a) Half point factor
b) Normalized factor
c) Shape factor
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Shape factor is a measure of how well realizable filter approximates to ideal filter. It is the ratio of filter bandwidths -60db and -6db amplitude points.
