Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an RF amplifier with S-parameters: S11 = 0.2, S21 = 5, S12 = 0.01, S22 = 0.4. Determine its unilateral or bilateral nature. Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the S-parameters.

Challenge 2 Hard

For an amplifier with S11 = 0.9, S12 = 0.15, S21 = 2.0, S22 = 0.5, calculate K and determine if the amplifier is unconditionally stable.

💡 Hint: Remember to find Δ first.
