Question #2
A circuit consists of a sine wave signal generator and a reactive component (L or C).

Question #3
a. (4) A FM radio station transmits at a frequency of 89.9 MHz. A radio receiver has a telescoping rod (as seen on most portable FM radio receivers) antenna that is a quarter wavelength long monopole. What is the optimum length of this antenna to receive the F M station, correct to the nearest cm?
b. (5) AM radio stations vary the amplitude of the transmitted signal in order to convey the program information. The signal has the form of v(t) = A cos(2πft + ϕ). When there is no modulation (i.e. the amplitude is constant), the radio station delivers 1000 watts into a 50Ω antenna (i.e. the antenna acts as if it is a 50Ω resistor) and it has a frequency of 1.5 MHz. Fill in the appropriate values for the v(t) that appears at the antenna: A, f and ϕ.

Question #4
(5) A signal generator outputs a unipolar square wave with a period of 0.50 ms with an amplitude of 2.0 V. The output of the generator is passed through an ideal band pass filter that has a pass band that extends from 1.0 kHz to 9.0 kHz (i.e. it passes all frequencies between 1.0 kHz and 9.0 kHz and rejects everything else). List the peak amplitude (in volts) and frequency (in kHz) of each wave that is present at the filter output.
Question #5
A signal generator outputs a sine wave signal with a frequency of 2000 Hz and an rms voltage of 1.0 V. The output of the signal generator is connected to a 50 Ω resistor.

What is the power dissipated in the 50 W resistor in watts, dBW, and dBm now? Do you calculation in dB units and then convert to watts.

Question #6.
An audio signal has a bandwidth that extends from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. It is passed through a low pass filter that has a cutoff of 10 kHz but it is not an ideal filter. The signal is sampled to create a PAM signal and then digitized by a linear 10 bit analog to digital converter (ADC). The digital signal is transmitted as a serial bit stream to a distant location where it is converted to parallel words and input to a digital to analog converter (DAC). The output of the DAC is passed through a low pass filter.

A 1μF capacitor is charged through a 100kΩ resistor through a switch from a 12V battery. Initially the capacitor is discharged. See Figure A.15 in the text.

after t = 5 time constants
The 1μF capacitor is charged to 12V. Now the switch and the resistor are in series connected across the capacitor. The switch is closed and the capacitor starts to discharge.

After t = 1 time constant
After t = 2 time constants
After t = 5 time constants
10 pt of extra credit: Plot of the capacitor voltage vs time. Use your spreadsheet plotting function. Plot capacitor voltage on the y axis and time x axis in time constants, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 time constants for both the charge and the discharge. You will have two plots. Plots must be properly label
