EE6355 RF and Microwaves Communication Circuits Assignment 1

Assignments are from the textbook: Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design by G. Gonzalez ISBN 0-13-254335-4. Problem 1: Exercise 1.2 Problem 2: Exercise 1.3 Problem 3: Re-write the topic Lossy-Transmission Lines from the class notes. Derive the equations as shown in the class-notes. Also complement the study by reading the textbook. Problem 4: Calculate the Y-parameters for a resistor in parallel with a capacitor.

Problem 5. Consider a 50- transmission line connected to a 25- load. (Figure 5.1) (a) Find an expression for V (d ) vs. d where is the propagation constant and d is the distance measured from the load. (10 points) (b) Plot the V (d ) vs. d in Figure 5.2. (5 points) (c) Find an expression for v(d,t). (10 points) Hints: (1) V (d ) A1 (e jd o e jd ) where o is the reflection coefficient at d=0. For this problem assume that V+=1V. (2) e j cos j sin , is an arbitrary angle.

Please note that to prepare for the exercises, the exams and the quizzes you MUST study all the material contained in the class-notes and complement your studies with the textbook. You should not limit your studies to just solve the problems in the assignments. The understanding of the theoretical aspects is critical to the understanding of the material of EE6355.
