Part A -Two Mark Questions and Answers:
1) Define propagation constant? What are its two components? [May/june 2009, May/June
2013][nov/dec 2015]

Propagation constant is defined as the natural logarithm of the ratio of the sending end
current or voltage to

distance. Propagation constant is a complex quantity and is expressed asγ = α + j β The

real part is called the attenuation constant whereas the imaginary part of propagation constant
is called the phase constant

A constant-K T-section high pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 10 KHz. The design
impedance is 600 ohms. Determine the value of L. [Nov/Dec 2010, May/June 2013] .(Apr/May
2021)
2)
L=4.77mH. L=Rk/4Π fc

For a symmetrical network, define propagation constant and characteristic

impedance.[April/May 2011][may/june 2015] .(Apr/May 2021)
3)
Propagation constant is defined as the natural logarithm of the ratio of the sending end
current or voltage to the receiving end current or voltage of the line. It gives the manner in
the wave is propagated along a line and specifies the variation of voltage and current in the
line as a function of distance. Propagation constant is a complex quantity and is expressed as
γ = α + j β The real part is called the attenuation constant whereas the imaginary part of
propagation constant is called the phase constant Characteristic impedance is the impedance
measured at the sending end of the line. It is given by Z0 = ГZ/Y, where
Z = R + jωL is the series impedance
Y = G + jωC is the shunt admittance

4) Draw the equivalent electrical circuit for a piezo electric crystal. [Nov/Dec 2011]

5) Define neper. What is its relation with Decibels? [May/June 2012]

The neper is often used to express ratios of voltage and current amplitudes in electrical
circuits (or pressure in acoustics), whereas the decibel is used to express power ratios.

6) What are the demerits of constants K filters? [May/June 2012][nov/dec 2016]

Drawback of the constant K type filter is that at the cut of frequency , its attenuation is a steady
curve quick response is lacking in it an ideal filter should have a sharp response curve.

8)Design a m-derived T-section low pass filter having a cutoff frequency (fc) of 5000 Hz and
a design impedance of 600 ohms. The frequency of infinite attenuation is 1.25 fc.[Nov/Dec
