NICE Microwave Engineering Question Bank

Two Mark Questions and Answers :
1. Define s-matrix :
In a microwave junction there is intersection of three or more components.There will be an output port ,in addition there may be reflection from the junction of other ports.Totally there may be many combinations,these are represented easily using a matrix called S matrix.

1.It possess symmetric property sij =sji
2.It possess unitary property [s][s]*=[i]

3.Why is s-matrix used in MW analysis? :
S matrix is used in MW analysis to overcome the problems which occurs when H,Y,&Z parameters are used in high frequencies.
1.Equipment is not readily available to measure total voltage &total current at the ports of the network.
2.Short and open circuits are difficult to achieve over a broad band of frequencies.
3.Active devices,such as power transistor &tunnel diodes,frequently won’t have stability for a short or open circuit.

5.What is ABCD matrix? :
ABCD matrix is a transmission matrix.these parameters express voltage and current at output in terms of those at input port.

6.What are the advantages of ABCD matrix? :
1.They are used in power transmission lines.

9.Give the properties of impedence [x]&admittance[y] matrix? :
1.For a lossless junctionary y and z are symmetric .
2.[y]=[z] -1
3.Elements of matix [Z] &matrix [Y] are Frequency dependent.

10.For a loss less junction all the elements in the impedence &admittance matrices are Pure imaginary

11.What are the properties of scattering matrix for a lossless junctoion? :
1.The product of any column of the S-matrix with conjugate of this column equals unity.
2.The product of any column of the scattering matrix with the complex conjugate of any other column is zero.

12.What is transmission matrix? :
When a number of microwave devices are connected in cascade.Each junction is represented by a transmission matrix which gives the output quantities interms of input quantities.

13.Define one port circuit.Give two examples :
A one port circuit is a circuit for which power can enter or leave through a single wave Guide or transmission line.
