Question Paper

(a)Routh-Hurwitz criterion is an algebraic method that provides information on the absolute stability of linear time invariant system that has a characteristic equation with constant co­efficient

a polyphase, load is supplied through conductors, the total power consumed is measured by adding the readings of wattmeters so arranged that current coil of a wattmeter is in each line and the corresponding pressure coil is connected between that line and a common point.If the common point is located on one of the lines, then the power may be measured by wattmeters only, irrespective of balanced/unbalanced load.
(c)For economic operation, the generator with highest positive incremental transmission loss will operate at the highest positive incremental cost of production.
(d)Considering state of the art, the communication links of satellites for weather forecasting are at present very effective.

Explain the effects of negative feedback in control systems on the following
(i)Stability External disturbances

(b)Define surge impedance of a line and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of operating an overhead line corresponding to surge impedance loading Also explain the terms infinite line, flat line
Describe a few features of a Wind wheel for efficient generation of electrical energy and discuss economic viability of this form of energy vis-a-vis conventional method. Which generator do you recommend and why?

Discuss briefly the architecture of 8086 microprocessor with special reference to the following

(i)Memory organization
(ii)Register structure
(iii)Addressing modes

(b)Explain with reasons the connection of C.T s for protecting a detta/star transformer Justify your scheme of protection for internal fault and external fault, using Merz-Price protection.

(c)What is solar power? Describe very briefly with neat diagram the scheme for residential cooling and heating and solar power plant, using solar energy.

Describe the factors on which the conductivity of intrinsic semi conductor depends. A semiconductor is made of germanium From the following data, calculate the conductivity of germanium:
(i)Density of Ge 5.32 x 10 power3 kg/m3

(v)Mobility of electrons 3.8 m2/V.s
(Assume one donor atom in each 10power8 atoms)

(b)Describe the basic modulation schemes in digital data transmission.

(c)Explain what is meant by saying that a satellite is stationary Why are such satellites used for worldwide communications in preference to any other kind?


SElmON B

5.(a)If the roots of characteristic equation of a linear digital control system lie within unity circle in z-plane, the system is stable.
(b)The magnetic property of a material is completely lost above its characteristic Curie temperature.
(c)The chances of arc interruption in subsequent current zero increase in case of air blast CS. but decrease in coil C.B
(d)The bandwidth of a PCM signal is much larger than that of original baseband.

Explain how frequency can be measured using four arm bridge arrangement Derive balance condition for such a bridge. Mention the range of frequency measurement and accuracy of such measurement If applied voltage lS non-sinusoidal, will it be possible to balance this bridge?

(b)Describe a communication circuit using modem and explain how modems are classified,

(c)Explain the Significance of blind speed in moving target indicator by radar. A MTI operates at 5 GHz with a pulse repetition frequency of 400 pps Calculate the lowest blind speed of radar.

Discuss the performances of proportional plus derivative and proportional plus integral controllers.

(b)Describe radar beacons and their application.
