Part A (Answer all questions)

1. Explain stability circles.

2. Differentiate between k- test and test for unconditional stability.
3. Derive the condition for one port negative resistance oscillator.
4. How can a terminator be constructed by using resistor.
5. Explain shielded microstrip line.
(5X 4 = 20)
Part B (Answer any Three)
6. Explain the even mode and odd mode of operation in coupled striplines.
7. Explain how capacitors are implemented in MICs.
8. Derive the expression for the power gain, available power gain, and the transducer
power gain.
9. Design an amplifier to have a gain of 11 dB at 4.0 GHz. Plot constant-gain circles for
GS = 2 and 3 dB, and GL = 0 and 1 dB. Calculate and plot the input return loss and
overall amplifier gain from 3 to 5 GHz. The transistor has the following scattering
parameters (Z0 = 50 ):
