The voltage of an electromagnetic wave propagating in a coaxial cable with uniform characteristic impedance is $$V(l) = {e^{ - \gamma l\, + \,j\,\omega \,t}}$$ Volts, where $$l$$ is the distance along the length of the cable in metres, $$\gamma = (0.1\, + \,j40)\,\,{m^{ - 1}}$$ is the complex propagation constant, and $$\omega = \,2\,\pi \,\, \times \,\,{10^9}$$ rad/s is the angular frequency. The absolute value of the attenuation in the cable in dB/metre is ___________________.

The propagation constant of a lossy transmission line is (2 + j5) $${m^{ - 1}}$$ and its characteristic impedance is (50 + j0) $$\Omega $$ at $$\omega = \,{10^6}\,rad\,{S^{ - 1}}$$. The values of the line constants L, C, R, G are, respectively,

A coaxial cable is made of two brass conductors. The spacing between the conductors is filled with Teflon $$\left( {{\varepsilon _r} = 2.1,\,\,\tan \,\,\delta = \,0} \right)$$. Which one of the following circuits can represent the lumped element model of a small piece of this cable having length $$\Delta \,\,z\,\,?$$

In the following figure, the transmitter Tx sends a wideband modulated RF signal via a coaxial cable to the receiver Rx. The output impedance $${Z_T}$$ of Tx, the characteristic impedance $${Z_0}$$ of the cable and the input impedance $${Z_R}$$ of Rx are all real. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the distortion of the received signal due to impedance mismatch?
