b) cosine function
c) cotangent function
d) tangent function
View Answer
Explanation: The input impedance of a transmission line is expressed in the standard form as Z0 (ZL+j Z0tan βl)/ (Z0+j ZLtan βl). With ZL equal to infinity for open circuit termination, 1/ ZL equal to 0, substituting this, we get input impedance in terms of a cotangent function.

a) j28.86Ω
b) 50Ω
c) j50Ω
d) 28.86Ω
View Answer
Explanation: Input impedance of an open circuited transmission line is given by – jZ0cotβl. Substituting l=λ/3 and β=2π/λ in the above equation, input impedance is j28.86Ω.
9. Expression for a transmission co-efficient of a transmission line is :
a) 2ZL/ ( ZL+Z0)
b) (ZL-Z0)/ (ZL+Z0)
c) 2Z0/( ZL+Z0)
d) (ZL+Z0)/ (ZL-Z0)
View Answer
Explanation: T=┌+1, where T is the transmission co-efficient and ┌ is the reflection co-efficient substituting ┌= (ZL-Z0)/ (ZL+Z0) in the equation for transmission co-efficient, we get 2ZL/ ( ZL+Z0).
10. For a transmission line, if the reflection coefficient is 0.4, then the transmission coefficient is:
a) 0.4
b) 1.4
c) 0.8
d) 2.8
View Answer
Explanation: T=┌+1, where T is the transmission co-efficient and ┌ is the reflection co-efficient substituting ┌=0.4 in the above equation, transmission co-efficient is equal to 1.4.
11. If the transmission coefficient of a transmission line is 1.6, then the reflection co efficient is:
a) 0.8
b) 0.6
c) 0.4
d) 0.3
View Answer
Explanation: T=┌+1, where T is the transmission co-efficient and ┌ is the reflection co-efficient substituting T=1.6, we get ┌=0.6.

a) -2.922dB
b) 29dB
c) 1.46dB
d) -29dB
View Answer
Explanation: Insertion loss for a transmission line is given by the expression -20loglTl in dB. Substituting T=1.4 and taking logarithm to base 10, insertion loss is -2.922dB.
