1. The 13 GHz satellite receiver with noise figure of 5,5 dB measured at 293 K, BER=10-6,
bandwidth is 70 MHz and sensitivity -80 dBm is used in the system. What is the SNR ratio of
system and which modulation you would use? Temperature at satellite is 30 K.
2. A transmitting antenna is connected at the end of the coaxial line with Zk = 50 Ω and the
relative permittivity of 2.89. At f=3.4 GHz, the input impedance is (60-j35) Ω. Calculate the
impedance of the load if the cable is 6 cm long.
3. Calculate input impedance of the lossless TL with parameters: Zk = 100 Ω, length of TL l=(3/4)
ʎ, the line is terminated with ZL=(100+j100) Ω.
4. The TL with length of l=0.5 ʎ (at f0) and characteristic impedance Zk = 50 Ω has short circuit at
the load (ZL=0). In which range of frequencies the input impedance of the TL behaves as a
capacitor?
