Manual Cascade Calculation with Mismatch Given the cascade shown in Figure 1-40:
a. Find the cascade gain assuming the mismatch loss of every component is zero (i.e., each component is perfectly matched to 50 ).
b. If each component has a maximum input VSWR of 2.0, what are the minimum and maximum reflection coefficients present on the input port of each device? What are the allowable angles of the reflection coefficient?
c. If each component has a maximum output VSWR of 1.5, what are the minimum and maximum output impedances present on the output port of each device? What are the allowable angles of the reflection coefficient?
d. What is the maximum possible input mismatch loss of each component? What is the maximum possible output mismatch loss of each component?
e. What is the minimum and maximum gain of the cascade if each component has a maximum input VSWR specification of 2.0 and a maximum output VSWR specification of 1.5?
f. Describe, in words, the condition in which the gain variation varies the most from its nominal or matched value.
