Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)
In an unmatched line the actual signal on the line is ___________
A)
The modulus of forward signal
B)
The product of forward and reflected signals
C)
The sum of forward and reflected signals
D)
The difference of forward and reflected signals

Correct Answer :   The sum of forward and reflected signals

Explanation : In an unmatched line, standing waves are formed which is a combination of forward and reflected signal. The signal actually on a line is simply the algebraic sum of the forward and reflected signals.

The special transmission lines constructed on PCBs to act as tuned circuits is called as?
A)
Loop lines
B)
Stripline
C)
Printed lines
D)
Transmission lines

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Stripline

Explanation : At UHF and microwave frequencies the values of inductance and capacitance become so small that it is difficult to realize them physically with standard coils and capacitors. Special transmission lines constructed with copper patterns on a printed circuit board (PCB), called microstrip or stripline, can be used as tuned circuits, filters, phase shifters, reactive components, and impedance-matching circuits at these high frequencies.

The impedance of a line is zero when ________
A)
It acts as inductor
B)
It acts as capacitor
C)
It acts as a resistor
D)
Series resonant circuit

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Series resonant circuit

Explanation : If the line acts as a series resonant circuit, its impedance is zero. If the line is of such a length that it acts as a parallel resonant circuit, its impedance is near infinity. If the line is some intermediate length, it is reactive.

When does an open transmission line look like an inductor to the generator?
A)
Length is one quarter wavelength
B)
Length is more the one half of the wavelength
C)
Length is between one quarter and one half of wavelength
D)
At all times

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Length is between one quarter and one half of wavelength

Explanation : If the open transmission line is less than one-quarter wavelength, the generator sees a capacitance. If the line is between one-quarter and one-half wavelength, the generator sees an inductance. These characteristics repeat for lines that are some multiple of one-quarter or one-half wavelengths.
