(c)seperate the signal and idler frequency
(d)permit more efficient pumping
ans-a

Q147 THE NON DEGENERATED ONE PORT PARAMATRIC AMPLIFIER SHOULD

HAVE A HIGH RATIO OF PUMP TO SIGNAL FREQUENC BECAUSE THIS
(a)permits satisfactory high frequency operation
(b)yields a low nf
(c)reduces pump power required
(d)permits satisfactory low frequency operation
ans-b

Q148 THE TUNNEL DIODE

(a)has a tiny hole through it's center to facilitate tunneling
(b)ia a point contact diode with a very high reverse resistance
(c)uses a high doping level to provide a narrow junction
(d)works by quantam tunneling exhibited by gallium arsenide only
ans-c

Q149 A TUNNEL DIODE IS LOSELY COUPLED TO IT'S CAVITY IN ORDER TO

(a)increase the frequency stability
(b)increase the available -ve resistance
(c)faciliting tunning
(d)allow operation at the high frequency
ans-a

Q150 THE -VE RESISTANCE IN A TUNNEL DIODE

(a)is amximum at the peak point of the characteristics
(b)is available b/w peak n vally point
(c)is maximum at valley point
(d)may be improved by use of reverse bias
ans-b
