1 SHORT QUESTIONS MICROWAVE ENGINEERING UNIT I 1. Define Microwave. Microwaves are generally described as electromagnetic waves with frequencies that range from approximately 1GHz to 300 GHz. Therefore, microwave signals, because of their inherently high frequencies, have relatively short wavelengths, hence the name micro waves. 2. Define a microwave junction. The point of interconnection of two or more microwave devices is called microwave junction. 3. Define scattering matrix. In a microwave junction there is intersection of three or more Components. There will be an output port; in addition there may be reflection from the junction of other ports. Totally there may be many combinations, these are represented easily using a matrix called S matrix. 4. What are the properties of s-matrix? 1. It possess symmetric property S ij =S ji 2. It possess unitary property [S][S]*= [I] 3. Under perfect matched conditions, tfe diagonal elements of [S] are zero. 5. Write the unitary property for a lossless junction. For any lossless network the sum of the products of each term of any one row or of any column of the S-matrix multiplied by its complex conjugate is unity. 6. Define tee-junction. In microwave circuits a waveguide or co-axial line with three independent ports is commonly referred to as a tee-junction. 7. What is E-plane Tee? An E-plane tee is a waveguide tee in which the axis of its side arm is parallel to the E-field of the main guide. 8. What is H-plane Tee? An H-plane tee is a waveguide tee in which the axis of its side arm is shunting the E-field or parallel to the H-field of the main guide.

2 9. Define difference arm. In E-plane tee, the power out of port 3 is proportional to the difference between instantaneous powers entering from port 1 and port 2. Therefore, this third port is called as difference arm. 10. Define difference arm. In H-plane tee, if two input waves are fed into port 1 and port 2 of the collinear arm, the output wave at port 3 will be in phase and additive. Because of this, this third port is called as sum arm. 11. What do you mean by hybrid junction? A hybrid junction is a four port network in which a signal incident on any one of the ports divides between two output ports with the remaining port being isolated. 12. Why bends are used? Bends are used to alter the direction of propagation in a waveguide system. 13. What is hybrid ring? Hybrid ring consists of an annular line of proper electrical length to sustain standing waves, to which four arms are connected at proper intervals by means of series or parallel junctions. 14. Define isolator. An isolator is a two port non-reciprocal device which produces a minimum attenuation to wave in one direction and very high attenuation in opposite direction. 15. Why isolators are called uniline? An ideal isolator completely absorbs the power for propagation in one direction and provides lossless transmission in the opposite direction. Thus isolators are called uniline. 16. Give the applications of directional coupler 1. Unidirectional power measurement 2. SWR measurement 3. Unidirectional wave launching 4. Reflectometer 5.
