In the feedback system shown below $G\left ( s \right )=\frac{1}{\left ( s+1 \right )\left (s+2 \right )\left ( s+3 \right )}.$ The positive value of $k$ for which the gain margin of the loop is exactly $0$ dB and the phase margin of the loop is exactly zero degree is _________

The asymptotic Bode phase plot of $G\left ( s \right )=\frac{k}{\left ( s+0.1 \right )\left ( s+10 \right )\left ( s+p_{1} \right )},$ with $k$ and $p_{1}$ both positive, is shown below. The value of $p_{1}$ is _______

An information source generates a binary sequence $\left \{ \alpha _{n} \right \}$. $\alpha _{n}$ can take one of the two possible values $-1$ and $+1$ with equal probability and are statistically independent and identically distributed. This sequence is precoded to obtain another sequence $\left \{ \beta _{n} \right \}$, as …

An ideal band-pass channel $500 \: Hz –2000 \:Hz$ is deployed for communication. A modem is designed to transmit bits at the rate of $4800$ bits/s using $16-QAM$. The roll-off factor of a pulse with a raised cosine spectrum that utilizes the entire frequency band is __________

Consider a random process $X\left ( t \right )=3V(t)-8,$ where $V(t)$ is a zero mean stationary random process with autocorrelation $R_{v}\left ( \tau \right )=4e^{-5\mid \tau \mid}.$ The power in $X(t)$ is _________

A binary communication system makes use of the symbols “zero” and “one”. There are channel errors. Consider the following events: …

The parallel-plate capacitor shown in the figure has movable plates. The capacitor is charged so that the energy stored in it is $E$ when the plate separation is $d$. The capacitor is then isolated electrically and the plate are moved such that the plate separation becomes $2d$. At this new plate separation, what is the energy stored in the capacitor, …

A lossless microstrip transmission line consists of a trace of width $w$. It is drawn over a pratically infinite ground plane and is separated by a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ and relative permittivity $\varepsilon _{r}> 1.$ The inductance per unit length and the characteristic impedance of this line are $L$ and $Z_{0}$, respectively. Which …

A microwave circuit consisting of lossless transmission lines $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ is shown in the figure. The plot shows the magnitude of the input reflection coefficient $\Gamma$ as a function of frequency $f$. The phase velocity of the signal in the transmission lines is $2\times 10^{8}$ $m/s$. The length $L$ (in meters) of $T_{2}$ is …

A positive charge $q$ is placed at $x=0$ between two infinte metal plates placed at $x=-d$ and at $x=+d$ respectively. The metal plates lie in the $yz$ plane. The charge is at rest at $t=0$, when a voltage $+V$ is applied to the plate at $-d$ and voltage $-V$ is applied to the plate at $x=+d$. Assume that the quantity of the charge $q$ …

It takes $10$s and $15$s, respectively, for two trains traveling at a different constant speeds to completely pass a telegraph post. The length of the first train is $120$ m and that of the second train is $150$ m. The magnitude of the difference in the speeds of the two trains (in m/s) is _________

The velocity $V$ of a vehicle along a straight line is measured in m/s and plotted as shown with respect to time in seconds. At the end of the $7$ seconds, how much will the odometer reading increase by (in m)?

The overwhelming number of people infected with rabies in India has been flagged by the World Health Organization as a source of concern. It is estimated that inoculating $70\%$ of pets and stray dogs against rabies can lead to a significant reduction in the number of people infected with rabies. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the …

A flat is shared by four first-year undergraduate students. They agreed to allow the oldest of them to enjoy some extra space in the flat. Manu is two months older than Sravan, who is three months younger than Trideep. Pavan is one month older than Sravan. Who should occupy the extra space in the flat?
