Question 17.
Mention any two features of C-language.
Answer:
C is a powerful, flexible language that has gained worldwide acceptance in recent years. C is concise, yet powerful in its scope. It is a high-level language that also incorporates features of low-level languages. It is becoming the standard for program development on small machines and microcomputers.

It is possible to apply C to nearly all application areas. Modularity {process of dividing problems into sub-problems) makes C ideal for projects involving several programmers. C permits nearly every programming technique. C is widely available for most brands and type of computers. It is portable. With all the features C is not a difficult language, it is one of the easiest languages to learn and implement.

C programming can be used to write any complex program because of its rich set of built-in functions and operations. C compiler combines the capabilities of an assembly language with the feature of high-level language and therefore it is very much suited for uniting both system software and business packages. Because of its variety of data types, powerful operator programs in C are efficient and fast. C has the ability to extend, it means user-defined functions can also be added to C library.

  2. To make the collector current independent of temperature variations.
  3. To maintain the operating point constant even though transistor is replaced by another of same type.

Question 21.
With a block diagram derive an expression for output impedance of aN amplifer with negative feedback.
Answer:
2nd PUC Electronics Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 6
An amplifier should have a low output impedance so that it can deliver power to load without much loss. With negative feedback, the output impedance of the amplifier decreases which is desirable.

Let Zo be output impedance of basic amplifier and Zof be the output impedance with negative feedback. A hypothetical source of voltage Vo is applied at the output. By applying KVL to the output loop,

Vo = IoZo +AVi.
With negative feedback, input to basic amplifier with negative feedback is
Vi = Vs – Vf
V= o – Vf
V– Vf
{As input is short circuited, V = o}

As 1+Aβ>1, output impedance of amplifier decreases by a factor(1+Aβ)

Question 22.
Explain the importance of ionosphere in the radio communication.
Answer:
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun cause the upper atmosphere to ionize i.e. to become electrically charged. Hence a thick layer of ions formed at heights of 50 km to 400km. The ionosphere supports MF and HF wave propagation.
Its three layers are:

D layer: It is at a height of 70 km and has an average thickness of 10 km. It disappears in the night time. It reflects VLF and LF waves and absorbs MF and HF waves.

E layer: It is at a height of 100 km with a thickness of 25 km. This layer disappears at night. It helps in MF and HF wave propagation.

F layer: It is at a height of 150 km and extends upto 400 km. This layer exists during both day and night time. During day time, it splits into two layers F, and F2, and combines to form a single F layer during night time.

F2 region. 250-400 km.
F1 region. 160-250 km.
E region. 95-130 km
D region. 50-95 km.

Question 34.
Draw a block diagram and explain the different stages of FM transmitter.
2nd PUC Electronics Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 21
Answer:
The modulating signal is applied to the pre-emphasis circuit, which improves signal to noise ratio, AF amplifier amplifies output of pre-emphasis. The processed signal is fed to reactance modulator. The reactance modulator uses a transistor or FET connected across tank circuit of carrier oscillator.

The oscillator frequency depends on the tank reactance which in turn depends on the instantaneous amplitude of modulating signal. Thus, output of reactance modulator will be a frequency modulated wave.

The oscillator is followed by a buffer amplifier which isolates oscillator from subsequent stages. The limiter maintains the amplitude constant. Class C power amplifier amplifies modulated wave to required power levels. The FM signal is then fed to the transmitting antenna.

Question 35.
