Q1) The interconnect of a PCB is 10 cm long. Assume it is lossless. A sinusoidal signal of the
form v(t)=A cos(t) is applied to the input end of the line. The signal velocity is 2×108 m/s, dictated
by the material properties of the interconnect (two conductors on either sides of the PCB’s
insulator). For the interconnect, find (a) Transit time (signal delay) (b) Signal frequency at which
the transit time is 10 % of the signal’s period (c) Signal voltage at the other end at the instant when
the input signal passes through the positive maximum of the cycle.

Q2) For a transmission line, the primary constants are identified as 0.1 /m, 0.2H/m, 10 pF/m
and 0.02 S/m. Find the complex propagation constant of the line at 1 MHz and 1 GHz. Comment
on the frequency dependence of the attenuation and phase shift over a given length of the line.

Q3) A voltage wave at 1 GHz is travelling on a transmission line in the +z direction. The
transmission line has R=0.5 /m, L=0.2H/m, G=0.1 S/m, and C=100 pF/m. (a) Obtain the
propagation constant , phase velocity vp and characteristic impedance Z0 (b) Write general
expression for the wave if it has an initial amplitude of 1 V and initial phase of 300 (c) Find the
wave’s amplitude at 50 cm (d) Find the wave’s phase at t=1 s and z=50 cm
