Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)
What is used as a surrounding for the solid center core in a coaxial cable?
A)
Metal
B)
Wood
C)
Ceramic
D)
Plastic dielectric

Correct Answer :   Plastic dielectric

Explanation : The coaxial cable consists of a solid center conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, usually a plastic insulator such as Teflon. Outside the insulation, there is a second conductor made of fine wires.

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.
