Question 1 |
The current i_{b} through the base of a silicon npn transistor is 1 + 0.1 cos(10000 \pi t) mA. At 300 K, the r_{\pi} in the small signal model of the transistor is


250 \Omega | |
27.5 \Omega | |
25 \Omega | |
22.5 \Omega |
Question 1 Explanation:
We know that
\begin{array}{l} r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) r_{e} \\ r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) \frac{V_{T}}{I_{e}} \\ r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) \frac{V_{T}}{(\beta+1) I_{b}} \\ r_{\pi}=\frac{V_{T}}{I_{b}} \end{array}
Where I_{b} is d.c. current through base so
I_{b}=1 \mathrm{mA}
V_{T}=25 \mathrm{mV} at room temperature
So, r_{\pi}=\frac{25 \times 10^{-3}}{1 \times 10^{-3}}=25 \Omega
\begin{array}{l} r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) r_{e} \\ r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) \frac{V_{T}}{I_{e}} \\ r_{\pi}=(\beta+1) \frac{V_{T}}{(\beta+1) I_{b}} \\ r_{\pi}=\frac{V_{T}}{I_{b}} \end{array}
Where I_{b} is d.c. current through base so
I_{b}=1 \mathrm{mA}
V_{T}=25 \mathrm{mV} at room temperature
So, r_{\pi}=\frac{25 \times 10^{-3}}{1 \times 10^{-3}}=25 \Omega
Question 2 |
The power spectral density of a real process X(t) for positive frequencies is shown below. The
values of E[X^{2}(t)] and |E[X(t)]|, respectively, are


6000/\pi,0 | |
6400/\pi,0 | |
6400/\pi,20(\pi /\sqrt{2}) | |
6000/\pi,20(\pi /\sqrt{2}) |
Question 2 Explanation:

We know that E\left[X^{2}(t)\right] represent the total power in random signal. So
\begin{aligned} P=E\left[X^{2}(t)\right]&=2 \times \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{9 \times 10^{3}}^{11 \times 10^{3}} S_{x}(\omega) d \omega \\ E\left[X^{2}(t)\right]&=\frac{1}{\pi}\left[400+\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 2 \times 10^{3}\right] \\ E\left[X^{2}(t)\right]&=\frac{6400}{\pi} \end{aligned}
At \omega=0, there is no any frequency component present, hence dc value of the process is zero.
Question 3 |
In a baseband communications link, frequencies upto 3500 Hz are used for signaling. Using a
raised cosine pulse with 75% excess bandwidth and for no inter-symbol interference, the maximum possible signaling rate in symbols per second is
1750 | |
2625 | |
4000 | |
5250 |
Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \mathrm{BW} &=\frac{R_{b}}{2}(1+\alpha) \\ 3500 &=\frac{R_{b}}{2}(1+0.75) \\ R_{b} &=4000 \mathrm{bits} / \mathrm{sec} \end{aligned}
In base band transmission \rightarrow
Symbol rate = Bit rate =4000 symbols/sec
In base band transmission \rightarrow
Symbol rate = Bit rate =4000 symbols/sec

(-8\hat{a}_{x}+6\hat{a}_{y}-5\hat{a}_{z})e^{j(\omega t-3x-4y)} V/m |
Question 4 Explanation:

Incident wave propagation \rightarrow-3 \hat{a}_{x}+4 \hat{a}_{y}
Reflected wave propagation \rightarrow 3 \hat{a}_{x}+4 \hat{a}_{y}
E_{i} incident direction \rightarrow 8 \hat{a}_{x}+6 \hat{a}_{y}+5 \hat{a}_{z}
\left.\begin{array}{l}E_{i} \text { tangential } \rightarrow 6 \hat{a}_{y}+5 \hat{a}_{z} \\ E_{r} \text { tangential } \rightarrow-6 \hat{a}_{y}-5 \hat{a}_{z}\end{array}\right\} E_{\text {tang }}=0

Question 8 Explanation:
Applying KVL in given circuit we have
10-1000 i-v=0 \qquad\ldots(1)
since 10 V is greater than 0.7 V so current will flow through diode and is
i=\frac{v-0.7}{500}\qquad\ldots(2)
from (1) and (2) we have,
\begin{aligned} 10-2(v-0.7)-v &=0 \\ 10+1.4-3 v &=0 \\ 3 v &=11.4 \\ v &=\frac{11.4}{3}=3.8 v\\ \text{so}\quad i &=\frac{v-0.7}{500}=\frac{3.8-0.7}{500} \\ &=6.2 \mathrm{mA} \end{aligned}
10-1000 i-v=0 \qquad\ldots(1)
