Question

(1)  (TCO 6) An amplifier has a power gain of 3dB and an input signal power P(In) = 100mW. What is the output power level?

200mW

200W

1W

100mW

(2) (TCO 6) A tank circuit coil is operating at a resonance frequency f(res) = 20 MHZ; The circuit  must operate with a bandwith of 200 KHZ. What is the quality factor, Q, for the coil?

150

100

200

50

(3) (TCO 6) An amplfier has an input signal power P(In) = 500 microfaradW. The output power P(out) = 200mW. What is the gain in dB for the amplifier at that frequency?

+26

-23

-13

+33

Explanation / Answer

1) 200 mwatt


2) Q=(B.W.)/(fres)=(20000kHz/200kHz)=100


3) gain=P(out)/P(n)=(200*10^3 uw)/500uw=400

in dB

10 log (gain)=10 log (400)=26 dB
