Which of the following is CORRECT with respect to grammar and usage? Mount Everest is ____________.

  1. ((a))

    the highest peak in the world

  2. ((b))

    highest peak in the world

  3. ((c))

    one of highest peak in the world

  4. ((d))

    one of the highest peak in the world

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

the highest peak in the world

The sentence is stating the highest peak in the world.

Since it is a specific thing, we need to use the definite article ‘the’ before it.

Also, the sentence is using the superlative degree and so we say ‘the highest peak in the world’ making option 1 the correct answer.

There cannot be many highest peaks in the world and so options 3 and 4 are incorrect.

2

The policeman asked the victim of a theft, “What did you _____?

  1. ((a))

    loose

  2. ((b))

    lose

  3. ((c))

    loss

  4. ((d))

    louse

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

lose

  • The context of the sentence is asking a person who has been deprived of something because of theft.
  • The word to be used to fill the blank is ‘lose’ which means to be deprived of something.
  • ‘Loose’ means something that is not fitted. ‘Louse’ is the singular form of the word ‘lice’ that is a parasite that lives in the skin of mammals and birds.
  • ‘Loss’ is a noun that means the process of losing someone or something. Eg: He suffered tremendous loss in his business.

Despite the new medicine’s ______________ in treating diabetes, it is not _____________widely.

  1. ((a))

    effectiveness --- prescribed

  2. ((b))

    availability --- used

  3. ((c))

    prescription --- available

  4. ((d))

    acceptance --- proscribed

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

effectiveness --- prescribed

The sentence is looking for contrast as it is joined by the conjunction ‘despite’.

The best pair of words that can fit the context of the sentence is ‘effectiveness…prescribed’.

Though medicine is ‘effective’ in treating diabetes, it is not being ‘prescribed’ widely.

A new medicine cannot have a ‘prescription’ or ‘availability’ for treating a disease.

Proscribed’ means forbidden by law. In case we use ‘acceptance…proscribed’ the sentence will not make any sense because it will mean that though the medicine is accepted widely, it is not forbidden by law.

In a huge pile of apples and oranges, both ripe and unripe mixed together, 15% are unripe fruits. Of the unripe fruits, 45% are apples. Of the ripe ones, 66% are oranges. If the pile contains a total of 5692000 fruits, how many of them are apples?

  1. ((a))

    2029198

  2. ((b))

    2467482

  3. ((c))

    2789080

  4. ((d))

    3577422

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

2029198

Let T = total no of fruits = 5692000

R = Ripe fruits

U = Unripe fruits

A = Apple        

O = Oranges

Given U = 15% of T :  15100×5692000\frac{{15}}{{100}} \times 5692000 = 853800

R = T – U= 4838200

A(U) = 45% of U:  45100×853800=384210\frac{{45}}{{100}} \times 853800 = 384210

A(R) = (100-66)% of R: 34100×4838200=1644988\frac{{34}}{{100}} \times 4838200 = 1644988

∴ A(U) + A(R) = 2029198

    15

  2. ((b))

    33

  3. ((c))

    35

  4. ((d))

    37

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

35

Percentage probability of being infected :

;P(A);=;50% {\rm{;P}}\left( {\rm{A}} \right){\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}50{\rm{\% }}

Percentage probability of an infected person developing the disease is having system:

;P(B);=;30% {\rm{;P}}\left( {\rm{B}} \right){\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}30{\rm{\% }}

∴ Percentage probability of infected person not showing symptoms:

P(Bˉ)=70%;{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\bar B}}} \right) = 70{\rm{\% ;}}

∴ Percentage probability of person moving through a TB prone zone remaining infected but not showing symptoms:

P(A).;P(Bˉ)=50100×70100=;35%{\rm{P}}\left( {\rm{A}} \right).{\rm{;P}}\left( {{\rm{\bar B}}} \right) = \frac{{50}}{{100}} \times \frac{{70}}{{100}} = {\rm{;}}35{\rm{\% }}

In a world filled with uncertainty, he was glad to have many good friends. He had always assisted them in times of need and was confident that they would reciprocate. However, the events of the last week proved him wrong. Which of the following inference(s) is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above passage?

(i) His friends were always asking him to help them.

(ii) He felt that when in need of help, his friends would let him down.

(iii)He was sure that his friends would help him when in need.

(iv) His friends did not help him last week.

  1. ((a))

    (i) and (ii)

  2. ((b))

    (iii) and (iv)

  3. ((c))

    (iii) only

  4. ((d))

    (iv) only

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

(iii) and (iv)

The paragraph states that the subject was very confident about his good friends helping him in his times of need because he had always helped them before in their time. Thus, inference III follows. Since the events of the last week proved him wrong, this means that his confidence was broken and his friends had not helped him. Thus inference 4 also follows.

Hence option 2 is the correct answer.

Let M4 = I, (where I denotes the identity matrix) and M ≠ I, M2 ≠ I and M3 ≠ I. Then, for any natural number k, M−1 equals:

  1. ((a))

    M4k + 1

  2. ((b))

    M4k + 2

  3. ((c))

    M4k + 3

  4. ((d))

    M4k

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

M4k + 3

Explanation:

Let M4 = I      ---(i)

Multiplying by M-1 on both sides

M4 M-1 = I – M-1

M3 = M-1      ---(ii)

Multiplying M4 on both sides in equation (i)

M4⋅ M4 = I ⋅ M4

M8 = M4      ---(iii)

Multiplying M-1 on both sides, we get:

M8 – M-1 = M4 M-1

M7 = M3      ---(iv)

From (ii) and (iv)

M-1 = M3 = M7

Now again multiplying M4 on both sides in equation (iii)

M8⋅ M4 = M4 M4

M12 = M8

M12 = M4 [from (iii)]

M12 = I      ---(v) [from (i)]

Multiplying M-1 on both sides we get

M11 = M-1      ---(vi)

From (ii), (iv) and (vi)

M-1 = M3 = M7 = M11 = …. & So on

3, 7, 11 ….. from general term 4k + 3 where k = 0, 1, 2

Hence, M-1 = M4k + 3

Option C is correct.

Given the following statements about a function f: R → R, select the right option:

P: If f(x) is continuous at x = x0, then it is also differentiable at x = x0.

Q: If f(x) is continuous at x = x0, then it may not be differentiable at x = x0.

R: If f(x) is differentiable at x = x0, then it is also continuous at x = x0.

  1. ((a))

    P is true, Q is false, R is false

  2. ((b))

    P is false, Q is true, R is true

  3. ((c))

    P is false, Q is true, R is false

  4. ((d))

    P is true, Q is false, R is true

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

P is false, Q is true, R is true

The following properties are true in calculus:

  • If a function is differentiable at any point, then it is necessarily continuous at the point.
  • But the converse of this statement is not true i.e. continuity is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the Existence of a finite derivative.
  • Differentiability implies Continuity.
  • Continuity does not necessarily imply differentiability.

 

Hence,

Statement P is wrong.

Statement Q is right. 

Statement R is right.

Which one of the following is a property of the solutions to the Laplace equation: ∇2𝑓 = 0?

  1. ((a))

    The solutions have neither maxima nor minima anywhere except at the boundaries.

  2. ((b))

    The solutions are not separable in the coordinates.

  3. ((c))

    The solutions are not continuous.

  4. ((d))

    The solutions are not dependent on the boundary conditions

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The solutions have neither maxima nor minima anywhere except at the boundaries.

Properties of Laplace equation:

2f = 0 (Laplace equation)

  1. The solutions have neither maxima nor minima anywhere except at the boundaries.

  2. The solution is separable in co-ordinates

2f = 0

2fxx2+2fyy2+2fzz2=0\frac{{{\partial ^2}{f_x}}}{{\partial {x^2}}} + \frac{{{\partial ^2}{f_y}}}{{\partial {y^2}}} + \frac{{{\partial ^2}{f_z}}}{{\partial {z^2}}} = 0 

Where f = fx ax + fy ay + fz az

  1. The solutions are continuous.

  2. The solutions are dependent on the boundary conditions.

So, only option A is correct.

Which one of the following is an eigen function of the class of all continuous-time, linear, time invariant systems (u(t) denotes the unit-step function)?

  1. ((a))

    e0u(t)

  2. ((b))

    cos ω0t

  3. ((c))

    ejω0t

  4. ((d))

    sin ω0t

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

ejω0t

Concept:

if output y(t) is scalar multiple of input x(t), i.e.

y(t) = H(s) . x(t) then the input function is called as the eigen function.

where H(s) is called the eigenvalue.

\(y\left( t \right) = x\left( t \right)\oplus h\left( t \right) = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty x\left( {t - \tau } \right) \cdot h\left( \tau \right) \cdot d\tau \)

Let , x(t) = est

So, x(t ⋅ τ) es(t - τ)

\(y\left( t \right) = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {e^{s\left( {t - \tau } \right)}}h\left( \tau \right) \cdot d\tau \)

\(= {e^{st}}\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {e^{ - s\tau }}h\left( \tau \right) \cdot d\tau \)

So, y(t) = H(s)⋅ x(t)

If the input to the system is an eigen signal, the output will also be the same eigen signal.

Analysis:

When,

 cosω0t=ejω0t+ejω0t2\cos {ω _0}t = \frac{{{e^{j{ω _0}t}} + {e^{ - j{ω _0}t}}}}{2} is passed through an LTI system, we get the output as:

ejω0tH(jω0)+ejω0tH(jω0)2 \frac{{{e^{j{ω _0}t}}H\left( {j{ω _0}} \right) + {e^{ - j{ω _0}t}}H\left( { - j{ω _0}} \right)}}{2}

Since Output can't be written in the form of H(jω0) x(t) (because H(jω0) ≠ H(-jω0)), so it is not eigenfunction.

When sinω0t=ejω0t+ejω0t2i{\rm{sin}}{ω _0}t = \frac{{{e^{j{ω _0}t}} + {e^{ - j{ω _0}t}}}}{{2i}}  is passed through an LTI system, we get:

ejω0tH(jω0)+ejω0tH(jω0)2i\frac{{{e^{j{ω _0}t}}H\left( {j{ω _0}} \right) + {e^{ - j{ω _0}t}}H\left( { - j{ω _0}} \right)}}{{2i}}

∴ The output can’t be written in form of H(jω0)x(t) because H(jω0) ≠ H(-jω0), So it is not eigenfunction as well.

 Now, when e0t is passed through an LTI system, the output can be written as:

H(jω0)ejω0tH\left( {j{\omega _0}} \right){e^{j{\omega _0}t}}

Since the Output is the same as the Eigen signal, we conclude that ejω0t is an eigen value.

A continuous-time function x(t) is periodic with period T. The function is sampled uniformly with a sampling period Ts. In which one of the following cases is the sampled signal periodic?

  1. ((a))

    T = √2Ts

  2. ((b))

    T = 1.2 Ts

  3. ((c))

    Always

  4. ((d))

    Never

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

T = 1.2 Ts

Consider x(t) = cos (ω0t)

If x(t) is sampled with a sampling period Ts

x(n) = cos Ω0n is obtained

Ω0Ts=ω0\frac{{{{\rm{\Omega }}_0}}}{{{T_s}}} = {\omega _0}

Here 2π;mN0;Ts=2πT0\frac{{2\pi ;m}}{{{N_0};{T_s}}} = \frac{{2\pi }}{{{T_0}}} 

T0Ts=N0m\therefore \frac{{{T_0}}}{{{T_s}}} = \frac{{{N_0}}}{m}

For the sampled signal to be periodic, ‘m’ should be such that an above expression is a rational number.

Thus TTs=1210=65\frac{T}{{{T_s}}} = \frac{{12}}{{10}} = \frac{6}{5}

T = 1.2 Ts

Consider the sequence x[n]=anu[n]+bnu[n]\rm x[n] = a^nu[n] +b^nu [n], where u[n]\rm u[n] denotes the unit-step sequence and 0<a<b<1\rm 0 < |a| < |b| < 1. The region of convergence (ROC) of the z-transform of u[n]\rm u[n] is

  1. ((a))

    z>a\rm |z| > |a|

  2. ((b))

    z>b\rm |z| > |b|

  3. ((c))

    z<a\rm |z| < |a|

  4. ((d))

    a<z<b\rm |a| < |z| < |b|

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

z>b\rm |z| > |b|

Concept:

Properties of the region of convergence:

The properties of the ROC depend on the nature of the signal. Assuming that the signal has a finite amplitude and that the z-transform is a rational function.

  • The ROC is a ring or disk in the z-plane, centred on the origin (0 < rR < |z| < rL ≤ ∞)
  • The Fourier transform of x[n] converges absolutely if and only if the ROC of the z-transform includes the unit circle.
  • The ROC cannot contain any poles.
  • If x[n] is finite duration, then the ROC is the entire z-plane except perhaps at z = 0 or z = ∞
  • If x[n] is a right-sided sequence then the ROC extends outward from the outermost finite pole to infinity.
  • If x[n] is left-sided then the ROC extends inward from the innermost nonzero pole to z = 0
  • A two-sided sequence (neither left nor right-sided) has a ROC consisting of a ring in the z-plane, bounded on the interior and exterior by a pole (and not containing any poles).
  • The ROC is a connected region.

 

Calculation:

Given  x(n);=;anu(n);+;bnu(n){\rm{x}}\left( {\rm{n}} \right){\rm{;}} = {\rm{;}}{{\rm{a}}^{\rm{n}}}{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{n}} \right){\rm{;}} + {\rm{;}}{{\rm{b}}^{\rm{n}}}{\rm{u}}\left( {\rm{n}} \right)

Application:

Given \({\rm{T}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{A}}&{\rm{B}}\ {\rm{C}}&{\rm{D}} \end{array}} \right]\)

The two-port network is symmetric if A = D and reciprocal if AD – BC = 1

Intrinsic semiconductor doped with pentavalent atoms to form an n-type semiconductor 

The new energy level is close to the edge of the conduction band (Ec).

Thus it is an n-type semiconductor that is formed by doping a pure or intrinsic semiconductor with a pentavalent atom.

Note:

Fermi level of an intrinsic semiconductor is as shown:

For VDS < VGS – VT, n-channel enhancement type MOSFET will operate in triode/linear region:

ID=WμnCox2L[2(VGSVT)VDSVDS2]{I_D} = \frac{{{\rm{W\mu_n }}{C_{ox}}}}{{2L}}\left[ {2\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right){V_{DS}} - V_{DS}^2} \right]

For VDS ≥ VGS – VT, the MOSFET will be in saturation with the current given by:

ID=WμnCox2L[(VGSVT)2]{I_D} = \frac{{{\rm{W\mu_n }}{C_{ox}}}}{{2L}}\left[ {{{\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right)}^2}} \right]

L = Channel length

Conclusion: Since the Current is inversely proportional to Channel length, the current will increase as the length will decrease. ∴ Statement P and S are correct.

Resistance:

The current in an NMOS in the linear region is:

ID=WμnCox2L[2(VGSVT)VDSVDS2]{I_D} = \frac{{{\rm{W\mu_n }}{C_{ox}}}}{{2L}}\left[ {2\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right){V_{DS}} - V_{DS}^2} \right]

The transistor operates in the linear region for small values of VDS, i.e. neglecting higher powers of VDS, the above expression can be approximated by:

IDWμnCoxL[(VGSVT)VDS]{I_D} \approx \frac{{{\rm{W\mu_n }}{C_{ox}}}}{{L}}\left[ {\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right){V_{DS}}} \right]

Rd=VDSIDSR_d=\frac{V_{DS}}{I_{DS}}

Rd=1WμnCoxL[(VGSVT)VDS]R_d=\frac{1}{\frac{{{\rm{W\mu_n }}{C_{ox}}}}{{L}}\left[ {\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right){V_{DS}}} \right]}

Rd=LWμnCox[(VGSVT)VDS]R_d=\frac{L}{W\mu_nC_{ox}{{{}}}{}\left[ {\left( {{V_{GS}} - {V_T}} \right){V_{DS}}} \right]}

Conclusion: As the output resistance is directly proportional to the channel length, it reduces with a decrease in channel length. ∴ Statement Q is incorrect.

Threshold Voltage:

The threshold voltage of a MOSFET is given as:

VT=2ϕFQdCi+ϕmsQiCi{V_T} = 2{\phi _F} - \frac{{{Q_d}}}{{{C_i}}} + {\phi _{ms}} - \frac{{{Q_i}}}{{{C_i}}}

From the above expression, we can conclude that the threshold voltage is also dependent on the channel length. ∴ Statement R is incorrect.

Answer: ((b))

\({{\rm{I}}0} = \left( {\frac{{\rm{\beta }}}{{{\rm{\beta }} + 1}}} \right)\frac{{{{\rm{V}}{{\rm{ref}}}}}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{;;}}\)

Due to virtual Ground Concept,

VA = VB       ---(1)

From figure,

VA = VCC - Vref       ---(2)

IE=VCCVBR{I_E} = \frac{{{V_{CC}} - {V_B}}}{R}

From equation (1) & (2)

IE=VCC(VCCVref)R=VRefR{I_E} = \frac{{{V_{CC}} - \left( {{V_{CC}} - {V_{ref}}} \right)}}{R} = \frac{{{V_{Ref}}}}{R}

Consider the oscillator circuit shown in the figure. The function of the network (shown in dotted lines) consisting of the 100 kΩ resistor in series with the two diodes connected back-to-back is to:

  1. ((a))

    introduce amplitude stabilization by preventing the op amp from saturating and thus producing sinusoidal oscillations of fixed amplitude

  2. ((b))

    introduce amplitude stabilization by forcing the opamp to swing between positive and negative saturation and thus producing square wave oscillations of fixed amplitude

  3. ((c))

    introduce frequency stabilization by forcing the circuit to oscillate at a single frequency

  4. ((d))

    enable the loop gain to take on a value that produces square wave oscillations

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

introduce amplitude stabilization by preventing the op amp from saturating and thus producing sinusoidal oscillations of fixed amplitude

Analytical Approach:

In the combination of two Diode circuits at a time, only one Diode will turn ON.

When V0 = + Vsat, then D1 is ON and D2 is OFF. When V0 = - Vsat then D2 is ON and D1 is OFF.

So the given circuit introduces amplitude stabilization by preventing the Op-Amp from saturating and thus producing sinusoidal oscillations of fixed amplitude.

Alternate Approach:

The circuit shown is a Wein bridge oscillator. The amplitude of oscillations can be determined and stabilized by using a nonlinear control network. As the oscillations grow, the diodes start to conduct causing the effective resistance in the feedback to decrease. Equilibrium will be reached at the output amplitude that causes the loop gain to be exactly unity.

Concept:

To find the closed system stability by using RH criteria we require a  characteristic equation. Whereas in remaining all stability techniques we require open-loop transfer function.

The nth order general form of CE is

a0 sn + a1 sn-1 + a2sn-2 + __________an-1 s1 + an

RH table shown below

Necessary condition: 

All the coefficients of the characteristic equation should be positive and real.

Sufficient Conditions for stability:

  1. All the coefficients in the first column should have the same sign and no coefficient should be zero.
  2. If any sign changes in the first column, the system is unstable.

And the number of sign changes = Number of poles in right of s-plane.

Analysis:

i) If all the elements present in the first column of the RH table have a positive (+ve) sign then we can say that system is stable.

ii) If there is any change in the sign of the first column then we can say that system is Unstable and the number of sign changes indicates the Number of poles present on the right side of the S – plane.

iii) If any element is zero in the first column then it says the test breaks down.

  4. ((d))

    Encircles the s-plane point (−1 + j0) in the counterclockwise direction as many times as the number of right-half s-plane zeros.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Encircles the s-plane point (−1 + j0) in the counterclockwise direction as many times as the number of right-half s-plane poles.

From the principal of argument theorem the number of encirclements about (-1, 0) is N;=;P;;Z{\rm{N;}} = {\rm{;P;}}-{\rm{;Z}} 

Where P = Number of open loop poles on Right – Half of s – plane

Z = Number of Closed Loop Poles on Right Half of s – plane

Given that closed loop system is stable means z;=;0;N;=;P{\rm{z;}} = {\rm{;}}0 \Rightarrow {\rm{;N;}} = {\rm{;P}}

∴ So the Nyquist encircles the s – plane point (-1 +j0) in the counter clockwise direction as many times as the number of right half s – plane poles

Consider a causal Periodic signal as shown in the figure:

Let x1(t), x2(t), x3(t) …. Be the signal representing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, …. Cycles of a causal periodic signal with fundamental time-period T.

Therefore,

x2(t) = x1(t - T)

Similarly:

x(t) = x1(t) + x1(t - T) + x1(t – 2T) + …

X(s) = X1(s) + e-sT X1(s) + e-2sT X1(s) + …

Considering low level injection the excess electron generated can be neglected. The excess holes generated at time t=0{\rm{t}} = 0 is \({\rm{\delta p}}\left( 0 \right) = {{\rm{G}}{{\rm{opt}}}}.{{\rm{\tau }}{{\rm{po}}}} \Rightarrow {\rm{\delta p}}\left( 0 \right) = 1.5 \times {10^{20}} \times {\rm{;}}0.1{\rm{;\mu sec}}\)

δp(0)=1.5×1013holes/cm3\Rightarrow {\rm{\delta p}}\left( 0 \right) = 1.5 \times {10^{13}}{\rm{holes}}/{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^3}

Now hole concentration as a function of time is

\(\begin{array}{l} {\rm{\delta p}}\left( {\rm{t}} \right) = {{\rm{\delta }}{\rm{p}}}\left( {\rm{O}} \right){{\rm{e}}^{ - {\rm{t}}/{{\rm{\tau }}{{\rm{po}}}}{\rm{;}}}}\ {\rm{\delta p}}\left( {0.3{\rm{;\mu sec}}} \right) = 1.5 \times {10^{13}}.{{\rm{e}}^{ - \frac{{0.3 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{0.1 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}}}\ = 1.5 \times {10^{13}} \times {{\rm{e}}^{ - 3}}\ \Rightarrow {{\rm{\delta }}_{\rm{p}}}\left( {0.3{\rm{\mu sec}}} \right) = 7.47 \times {10^{11}}{\rm{;hole}}/{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^3} \end{array}\)

Once the generating source as removed, the generated excess holes recombine with excess electrons and deplete exponentially as a function of time. This conclusion can be verified by solving the ambipolar transport equation.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Gray to Binary converter

Concept:

Gray to Binary

Gray codes are widely used to facilitate error correction in digital communications such as digital terrestrial television and some cable TV systems.

Conversion from Gray Code to Binary Code:

Let Gray Code be G3  G2  G1  G0 and Binary Code be B3 B2 B1 B0. Then the respective Grey Code can be obtained as follows:

Binary to Gray

It is given by

y1 = x1

y2 = x1 ⊕ x2

y3 = x2 ⊕ x3

y4 = x3 ⊕ x4

Analysis:

Assume X2X1X0 = (111)2 = 710

Then the output of the first decoder = OPwhich is connected to IP5 of the encoder

(5)10 = (101)2

∴ output of encoder Y2Y1Y0 = 101

∴ input to the circuit = 1 1 1 and output = 1 0 1

Consider Gray to Binary converter if input = 111 then output is 101.

∴ So the given circuit acts like a Gray to Binary converter

Hence option (3) is correct

Answer: ((b))

4-to-1 multiplexer

CONCEPT:

A tri-state buffer is a non-inverting device that produces output when input to EN (enable pin) is high else it goes to a high impedance (HI-Z) state.

It is similar to a normal buffer but it adds an Enable (EN) buffer input that decides whether primary input is passed to its output or not.

If EN signal input is true, the tri-state buffer will produce output.

If it is false, the Tri-state buffer goes to a high impedance state such that it disconnects its output from the circuit.

EnableInputOutput
00High impedance
01High impedance
100
111

 

When EN = 0 then, It will go into a high impedance state or disconnected state irrespective of the input value.

When EN = 1 then, It will produce output the same as the input value.

Calculation:

When

C1 = 0 and C0 = 0 then O0 is high → Y = P

C1 = 0 and C0 = 1 then Ois high → Y = Q

C1 = 1 and C0 = 0 then Ois high → Y = R

C1 = 0 and C0 = 1 then Ois high → Y = S

∴ So the given circuit acts like 4 : 1 multiplexer with inputs P, Q, R and S  and  selection inputs C1 and C0

In an 8085 system, a PUSH operation requires more clock cycles than a POP operation. Which one of the following options is the correct reason for this?

  1. ((a))

    For POP, the data transceivers remain in the same direction as for instruction fetch (memory to processor), whereas for PUSH their direction has to be reversed.

  2. ((b))

    Memory write operations are slower than memory read operations in an 8085 based system.

  3. ((c))

    The stack pointer needs to be pre-decremented before writing registers in a PUSH, whereas a POP operation uses the address already in the stack pointer.

  4. ((d))

    Order of registers has to be interchanged for a PUSH operation, whereas POP uses their natural order.

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

The stack pointer needs to be pre-decremented before writing registers in a PUSH, whereas a POP operation uses the address already in the stack pointer.

PUSH  is  pre decremented operation

Since it is 16 bit operation it takes 6 clock cycles for Fetch and decoding operation.

For PUSH operation:

T1T2T3
6 clock cycles3 clock cycles3 clock cycles
Fetch and  DecodeWrite operationWrite operation

 

Total no of clock cycles = 6+3+3= 12 clock cycles

Whereas POP is a post incremented operation and it takes only 4 clock cycles in fetch and decode operation.

For POP:

Fetch and  DecodeWrite operationWrite operation

 

Total no of clock cycles = 4+3+3= 10 clock cycles

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

\({{\rm{E}}{\rm{s}}} = {{\rm{E}}{\rm{h}}};{\rm{SN}}{{\rm{R}}{{\rm{max}}}}{\rm{;}} = \frac{{2{{\rm{E}}{\rm{s}}}}}{{{{\rm{N}}_0}}}\)

Concept: If  the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is maximized at the output of the filter then the filter is matched fi

Analysis: The SNR is maximum when the filter is matched to the input signal. And when the filter is matched to the input the energies of both the input and matched filter responses are the same. Thus \({{\rm{E}}{\rm{s}}} = {{\rm{E}}{\rm{h}}}\). And in that case the SNR \(= \frac{{2{{\rm{E}}_{\rm{s}}}}}{{{{\rm{N}}0}}} = \frac{{2{{\rm{E}}{\rm{h}}}}}{{{{\rm{N}}_0}}}{\rm{;}}\)

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

Te = 169.36 K and Pao = 3.73×10-10 W

Antenna’s noise temperature TAN=50K{{\rm{T}}_{{\rm{AN}}}} = 50{\rm{K}}

Ambient temperature TA=290K{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{A}}} = 290{\rm{K}}

Preamplifier noise figure FP=2dB{{\rm{F}}_{\rm{P}}} = 2{\rm{dB}}

Amplifier gain GP=40dB{{\rm{G}}_{\rm{P}}} = 40{\rm{dB}}

Now, effective noise temperature of amplifier input \({{\rm{T}}{\rm{e}}} = \left( {{\rm{F}} - 1} \right){{\rm{T}}{\rm{A}}}\)

Noise figure of antenna F=10210=1015=1.585{\rm{F}} = {10^{\frac{2}{{10}}}} = {10^{\frac{1}{5}}} = 1.585

Thus, Te=290(1.5851)=290×0.585=169.7;K{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{e}}} = 290\left( {1.585 - 1} \right) = 290 \times 0.585 = 169.7{\rm{;K}}

Gain , G=104010=104{\rm{G}} = {10^{\frac{{40}}{{10}}}} = {10^4} and TIN{{\rm{T}}_{{\rm{IN}}}} is the input noise temperature at amplifier input

\(\begin{array}{l} {{\rm{T}}{{\rm{IN}}}} = {{\rm{T}}{{\rm{AN}}}} + {{\rm{T}}{\rm{e}}} = 50{\rm{K}} + 169.6{\rm{K}}\ \Rightarrow {{\rm{T}}{{\rm{IN}}}} = 219.6{\rm{K}} \end{array}\) 

Amplifier output noise, \({{\rm{P}}{{\rm{ao}}}} = {\rm{GK}}{{\rm{T}}{{\rm{IN}}}}{\rm{B}}\)

\(\begin{array}{l} {{\rm{P}}{{\rm{ao}}}} = {10^4} \times \left( {1.38 \times {{10}^{ - 23}}} \right) \times \left( {219.6} \right) \times \left( {12 \times {{10}^6}} \right)\ {{\rm{P}}{{\rm{ao}}}} = 3.63 \times {10^{ - 10}}{\rm{W}} \end{array}\) 

Thus, option a is correct.

Two lossless X-band horn antennas are separated by a distance of 200λ. The amplitude reflection coefficients at the terminals of the transmitting and receiving antennas are 0.15 and 0.18, respectively. The maximum directivities of the transmitting and receiving antennas (over the isotropic antenna) are 18 dB and 22 dB, respectively. Assuming that the input power in the lossless transmission line connected to the antenna is 2 W, and that the antennas are perfectly aligned and polarization matched, the power (in mW) delivered to the load at the receiver is ________.

The electric field of a uniform plane wave traveling along the negative z-direction is given by the following equation:

\({\rm{\vec E}}{\rm{w}}^{\rm{i}} = \left( {{{{\rm{\hat a}}}{\rm{x}}} + {\rm{j}}{{{\rm{\hat a}}}_{\rm{y}}}} \right){{\rm{E}}_0}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{jkz}}}}\)

This wave is incident upon a receiving antenna placed at the origin and whose radiated electric field towards the incident wave is given by the following equation:

\({\rm{\vec E}}{\rm{a}}^{\rm{i}} = \left( {{{{\rm{\hat a}}}{\rm{x}}} + {\rm{}}{{{\rm{2\hat a}}}{\rm{y}}}} \right){{\rm{E}}{\rm{I}}}\frac{1}{{\rm{r}}}{\rm{;}}{{\rm{e}}^{{\rm{-jkr}}}}\)

Answer: ((c))

Circular (clockwise), Linear, −3dB

Given

Electric field of the incident wave is:

EWi=(a^x+ja^y)E0ejkzE^i_W = \left(\hat a_x + j\hat a_y\right) E_0e^{jkz}

at z = 0;

(in time-varying form)

Ewi=E0cosωt;a^xE0sinωt;a^y\vec E^i_w = E_0 \cos ω t;\hat a_x - E_0 \sin ω t; \hat a_y

at ωt = 0

Ewi=E0a^x\vec E^i_w = E_0 \hat a_x

at ωt=π2\omega t = \frac {\pi}{2}

Ewi=E0(a^y)\vec E^i_w = E_0 \left(-\hat a_y\right)

As a tip of electric field intensity is tracing a circle when time varies, hence the wave is said to be circularly polarized in clockwise direction (or) RHCP. Polarizing vector of incident wave is given by,

Pi=a^x+ja^y2\vec P_i = \frac {\hat a_x + j\hat a_y}{\sqrt 2}

radiated electric field from the antenna is

Ea=(a^x+2a^y)Ellγejkγ\vec E_a = \left(\hat a_x + 2\hat a_y\right)E_l \frac l \gamma e^{-jk\gamma}

at r = 0

Ea=Elcosωt;a^x+2Elcosωt;a^y\vec E_a = E_l \cos \omega t;\hat a_x + 2E_l \cos \omega t;\hat a_y (in time varying form)

As both x & y components are in-phase, hence the wave is said to be linear polarized. Polarizing vector of radiated field is P^a=(a^x+2a^y)5\hat P_a = \frac {\left(\hat a_x + 2\hat a_y\right)}{\sqrt 5} polarizing mismatch; The polarizing mismatch is said to have, if the polarization of receiving antenna is not same on the polarization of the incident wave. The polarization loss factor (PLF) characterizes the loss of EM power due to polarization mismatch.

PLF=P^i.P^a2PLF = \left|\hat P_i.\hat P_a\right|^2

in dB; PLF (dB) = 10 log (PLF)

PLF=(a^x+ja^y2).(a^x+2a^y5)2=1+j2252=12PLF = \left|\left(\frac {\hat a_x + j\hat a_y}{\sqrt{2}}\right).\left(\frac {\hat a_x + 2\hat a_y}{\sqrt 5}\right)\right|^2 = \left|\frac {1 + j2}{\sqrt 2\sqrt 5}\right|^2 = \frac 1 2 (or) 0.5

PLF (dB) = 10 log 0.5 = -3.0102

The far-zone power density radiated by a helical antenna is approximated as:

\({{\rm{\vec W}}{{\rm{rad}}}} = {{\rm{\vec W}}{{\rm{average}}}} \approx \widehat {{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{r}}}}{{\rm{C}}_0}\frac{1}{{{{\rm{r}}^2}}}{\cos ^4}{\rm{\theta }}\)

Answer: ((b))

1.256C0,10dB

Concept: 

Power Radiated can be calculated from average power density by integrating it over the given surface.

Application:

Given that \({{\rm{W}}{{\rm{rad}}}} = {{\rm{W}}{{\rm{avg}}}} = \frac{1}{{{{\rm{r}}^2}}}{\rm{co}}{{\rm{s}}^4}{\rm{\theta }}.{{\rm{C}}0}.\overrightarrow {{{\rm{a}}{\rm{r}}}}\)

Power radiated =Wrad.dS= \smallint {{\rm{W}}_{{\rm{rad}}}}.{\rm{d\vec S}}

But dS=r2sin;θ;dθdϕ.ar{\rm{d\vec S}} = {{\rm{r}}^2}{\rm{sin;\theta ;d\theta d}}\phi .\overrightarrow {{{\rm{a}}_{\rm{r}}}}

Power radiated = 1r2cos4θ.C0.r2sin;θ;dθdϕ\smallint \smallint \frac{1}{{{{\rm{r}}^2}}}{\rm{co}}{{\rm{s}}^4}{\rm{\theta }}.{{\rm{C}}_0}.{{\rm{r}}^2}{\rm{sin;\theta ;d\theta d}}\phi

Where 0θπ2;and;0ϕ2π0 \le {\rm{\theta }} \le \frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}{\rm{;and;}}0 \le \phi \le 2{\rm{\pi }}

Power;Radiated,Prad=;cos4θ.C0.sin;θ;dθdϕ =C0(2π)cos4θ.sinθ.dθ:where;0θπ2 =C0(2π)×3×1×15×3×1=1.256C0.\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow {\rm{Power;Radiated}},{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{rad}}}} = {\rm{;}}\smallint \smallint {\rm{co}}{{\rm{s}}^4}{\rm{\theta }}.{{\rm{C}}_0}.{\rm{sin;\theta ;d\theta d}}\phi \ = {{\rm{C}}_0}\left( {2{\rm{\pi }}} \right)\smallint {\rm{co}}{{\rm{s}}^4}{\rm{\theta }}.{\rm{sin\theta }}.{\rm{d\theta }}:{\rm{where;}}0 \le {\rm{\theta }} \le \frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}\ = {{\rm{C}}_0}\left( {2{\rm{\pi }}} \right) \times \frac{{3 \times 1 \times 1}}{{5 \times 3 \times 1}} = 1.256{{\rm{C}}_0}. \end{array}

Radiation;intensity=U=r2.Wrad=cos4θ.C0{\rm{Radiation;intensity}} = {\rm{U}} = {{\rm{r}}^2}.{{\rm{W}}_{{\rm{rad}}}} = {\rm{co}}{{\rm{s}}^4}{\rm{\theta }}.{{\rm{C}}_0}

Directivity \({{\rm{D}}0} = 4{\rm{\pi }} \times \frac{{{{\rm{U}}{{\rm{max}}}}}}{{{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{rad}}}}}} = 4{\rm{\pi }} \times \frac{{{{\rm{C}}_0}}}{{1.256{{\rm{C}}_0}}} = 10.005\)

Directivity in (dB)=;10;log1010.005=10\left( {{\rm{dB}}} \right) = {\rm{;}}10{\rm{;lo}}{{\rm{g}}_{10}}10.005 = 10
