Which is the best type of coaxial cable connector in terms of performance?

A)

PL-259

B)

N-type connector

C)

BNC

D)

SMA

Correct Answer : N-type connector

Explanation : The best-performing coaxial connector is the N-type connector, which is used mainly on large coaxial cable at the higher frequencies, both UHF and microwave. N-type connectors are complex and expensive, but do a better job than other connectors in maintaining the electrical characteristics of the cable through the interconnections.

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.
