Title: Checking uni assignment
Post by: faust1002 on September 28, 2021, 01:27:21 pm
Hello guys,
I have just started my MSc degree and one of mandatory modules I have to take is RF. Provided that I have hardly any background in this area I feel a little bit insecure about this subject. Furthermore, the lectures doesn't seem to be super student-friendly.
So I wonder if any of you could check my first assignment. It is related to basic things like transmission line paramaters and S paramaters. Please find questions and answers (except for the last question as it is trivial even for me) for them attached.
Kind regards

Problem 1: correct final but -1 out of 10 points for (10+j10)/110 (missing imag part in the denominator, though you got the right answer numerically)
1b: 0 marks (hint, Pdel=Pincident*(1-mag(gamma)^2) here power is linear (watts)
1c: -1 of 10 (SWR is always above 1, can't be below; swr less than 1.2 is "good" low standing waves; 1.2<swr<2 "moderate", SWR>2 bad.
1d: full marks

2a: -3 of 10 (s-parameters are sqrt of power, always use 20 log10( bn/an).  You did on s11, s22, but not s12, s21.

final grade: 37/50=C+
