Q#26 Power Semiconductor Devices GATE EE 2023 MSQ +1 mark -0 marks

A semiconductor switch needs to block voltage  of only one polarity  during OFF state as shown in figure (i) and carry current in both directions during ON state as shown in figure (ii). Which of the following switch combination(s) will realize the same?

Fig. (i)

Fig. (ii)

Explanation:

Since, the switch can block only one polarity of voltage called as Unipolar Switch.

But, since current can flow in both directions, so the switch is bidirectional.

Whenever anti-parallel diode is connected to a switch then reverse current can also flow so switch becomes Bidirectional.

as shown current can flow in both directions.

BJT blocks forward voltage but diode cannot allow blocking reverse voltage.

Switch is unipolar & bidirectional.

Diode connected in series does not allow current flow in both directions.

BJT blocks forward voltage while series diode blocks reverse voltage

∴ switch is unidirectional & bipolar.

Diode connected in series does not allow current flow in both directions.

BJT blocks forward voltage & series diode blocks reverse voltage. hence switch is unipolar.

∴ switch is bipolar & unidirectional

This switch is combination of previous switch & antiparallel diode.

∴ switch becomes bidirectional & unipolar.

Q#27 LTI Systems GATE EE 2023 MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?

If an LTI system is causal, it is stable.

A discrete time LTI system is causal if and only if its response to a step input  is 0 for .

If a discrete time  system has an impulse response  of finite duration the system is stable.

If the impulse response  for all , then the LTI system is stable.

Explanation:

(a) for a causal LTI system, h[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0 & for stability

∴ Causal LTI system may or may not be stable.

(b) for causal LTI system, h[n] = 0 ∀ n  < 0

Step response, s[n] = u[n] * h[n]

∴ both u[n] & h[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0

∴ S[n] = 0 ∀ n < 0

(c) if h[n] has finite duration, then system may or may not be stable

Has finite duration but h[n] is not absolutely summable ∴ system is unstable.

(d) if 0 < |h[n]| < 1 then system may be unstable because if signal has infinite duration then h[n] is not absolutely summable.

Line charging capacitor of finite value is present in line 2-3 only and shunt capacitor of finite value is present in bus 1 only.

Line charging capacitor of finite value is present in line 2-3 only and shunt capacitor of finite value is present in bus 3 only.

Explanation:

Sum of the elements in a row of YBUS matrix represents the admittance b/w particular bus & ground.

Based on values above the system can be represented as,

π-model of a transmission line can be shown as

That is the line has equal capacitances at both ends.

So, we can consider line connecting bus-2 & 3 only has line charging capacitance of j0.5

Bus-3 has shunt capacitor of j0.5

Q#58 Phase Controlled Converter GATE EE 2023 NAT +2 marks -0 marks

The single phase rectifier consisting of three thyristors  and a diode  feed power to a  constant current load.  and  are fired at α=60°  and  is fired at α=240° . The reference for  is the positive zero crossing of . The average voltage  across the load in volts is ________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).

Explanation:

Since the load carries constant current one device out of T1 & D1 must always be conducting & one out of T2 T3 most always be conducting

T1 : α to π i.e. 60° to 180°

D1: π to 2π + α i.e. 180° to 360° & 0° to 60°

T2: π + α to 2π + α i.e. 240° to 240°

T3: α to π + α i.e. 60° to 240°

∴ Output voltage is

0 to 60° : D1 & T2 : ON V0 = -Vs

60° to 180° : T1 & T3 : ON V0 = Vs

180° to 240° : T3 & D1 : ON V0 = 0

Given VBE = 0

25 – 7000 IB – 0 – 10IE – 20IE = 0

25 = 100 IE ∴IE = 0.25A = 250 mA

By KVL: -VD – 0 – IE × 10 = 0

VD = -2.5 V

Zener diode is reverse biased but does not operate in breakdown region & hence open.

A signal  is sampled at  and then passed through an ideal low pass filter having cut-off frequency of . The maximum frequency present in the filtered signal in  is __________ (Round off to the nearest integer).

Explanation:

X(t) = 2 cos (180 πt) cos (60πt)

=cos (240 πt) + cos (120 πt)

So, spectrum of x(t) contains impulses at following frequencies: -120, 120, -60, 60

Due to sampling spectrum shifts by nfs

fs = sampling frequency = 200 Hz

n = 0 components: - 60, -120, 80, 120

n = 1 components: 140, 80, 260, 320

n = 2 components: 340, 280, 460, 520

∴ the sampled signal is passed through a LPF with cut off frequency = 100 Hz highest frequency passing through filters = 80 Hz
