Week 2 Assignment

This document contains 8 multiple choice questions about microwave integrated circuits and concepts like quarter wave transformers, tapered transmission lines, and impedance matching. The questions cover determining characteristic impedances of transformers based on load resistances, calculating bandwidths of transformers, types of tapered lines that minimize reflection coefficients, locations of nulls in reflection coefficients for different tapers, how the number of matching sections affects bandwidth, input impedances of quarter wave transformers based on load impedances, whether an infinite line can be perfectly matched, and a comparison of bandwidths between Chebyshev and binomial transformers.
