Topics to develop:
-
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop

Step 5 – make the final activity

The group will have to follow the next steps to accomplish the activity
goals.

Step 1: Make an academic research about the topics defined for this
unit.

Step 3: Each member of the group has to participate solving the given
problems; if all members don’t chose a role, the group has to ensure
that all problems are solved and delivered in the forum.

Step 4: Validated the problems answers and procedures by mean of

the suitable tool.

Step 5: Compile the group contributions from the collaborative forum

and ensure the accomplish of the rubric items.

Step 6: Deliver the work in the monitoring and evaluation

environment.

Activities to develop

In this activity, the group will have to solve some practical problems
using as a reference the following image.
 Retrieved from: http://www.scientechworld.com/education-software-training-and-skill-
development/wireless-communication/understanding-wireless-sensor-network
Taking into account the image, solve the following problems:

1. If the signal frequency used to send the sensed parameters from

the water monitoring system to the reception point is 5,2MHz.
how deep could the wireless transmitter be placed? How does
the water behave at this frequency? Find Υ , α , β , λ
and v p . Explain how these values could be used in the
practice.

2. If the medium has the following electromagnetic characteristics:

−3 Sm
σ =10 , ϵ r =1 y μr =1 . Find the losses per length unit,
m
take into account the given frequency for the signal, how long
must travel the signal to have more than 3dB of attenuation?

3. In the buildings have an intrinsic impedance of η2=300 Ω and

the signal has a power of 100 mW /m2 . Fin the reflected and
transmitted power to the buildings.

4. A near monitoring station has put 75 Ω coaxial transmission

line with a length of 20m and is terminated with an antenna of
35+ j 78 Ω . If the relative permittivity of the line is 2.56 and the
frequency is 3GHz, find the input impedance to the line, the
reflection coefficient at the load, the reflection coefficient at the
input, and the SWR on the line.

5. In the monitoring station, there is a radio transmitter connected

to an antenna having an impedance 75+ j 35 Ω with a 6 0 Ω
coaxial cable. If the 50 Ω transmitter can deliver 30W when
connected to a 50 Ω load, how much power is delivered to the
antenna?

Use the software Smith Chart to validate the answer to the fourth and
fifth problems.

Environment Collaborative learning environment: In this

for the environment, there is a forum where the student is
developmen going to share information with his/her fellow
t classmates in order to understand the conceptual
 bases in Electrodynamic and waves and to solve the
proposed problems.
Monitoring and evaluation environment: In this
environment, the student will have to deliver the
collaborative activity, according to the course agenda.

Practical learning environment: In this

environment, the student will find information to
develop the proposed practical activities.
Individual:
The student will have to answer the conceptual
questions using academic sources, to solve a chosen
problem and to make a review in the forum about the
delivered problems.

Students must be aware of severe sanctions in the
case of plagiarism.

In the agreement 029 of December 13, 2013, article

99, are considered as faults that violate the academic
order, among others, the following: literal e)
"Plagiarism, that means, to present as his own

The academic sanctions that the student will face are

the following:

A) In cases of academic fraud demonstrated in

academic work or respective evaluation, the grade
that will be imposed will be zero point zero (0.0)
without prejudice to the corresponding disciplinary
sanction.

B) In cases related to plagiarism demonstrated in

academic work of any nature, the grade that will be
