Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)
Why is it not possible to provide transmit function by wideband amplifier and mixer circuits?
A)
Heavy attenuation
B)
Economically not profitable
C)
Weight of the system increases five fold
D)
High power output over wideband is not possible

Correct Answer :   High power output over wideband is not possible


Explanation : it is generally not possible to generate very high output power over such wide bandwidth. The fact is that no components and circuits can do this well. The high-power amplifiers in most transponders are traveling-wave tubes that inherently have limited bandwidth. They operate well over a small range but cannot deal with the entire 500-MHz bandwidth allocated to a satellite.
