About this previous year paper
This document is the B.Tech Semester–III Theory Examination 2019–20 question paper for NETWORK ANALYSIS & SYNTHESIS (Sub Code: KEC303) under Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU).
The uploaded file contains three pages, clearly divided into SECTION A, SECTION B, and SECTION C.
The exam carries 100 marks, and the duration is 3 hours.
This paper evaluates a student’s understanding of electrical network theory, including frequency response, Laplace transforms, impedance functions, active/passive elements, resonance, Z-parameters, Fourier series, network theorems, and synthesis of networks.
SECTION A — Short Questions (10 × 2 = 20 Marks)
(Visible on Page 1)
Section A contains ten 2-mark questions, each testing core definitions, formulas, and conceptual clarity.
Topics include:
Concept of Complex Frequency
Definition of Transfer Function of a network
Properties of R–C driving point impedance function
Laplace transform of x(t)=e−atsinω0tx(t) = e^{-at} \sin \omega_0 tx(t)=e−atsinω0t
Finding current in a 100-ohm resistor in the given network (circuit shown in Page 1 figure with 5 Ω, 10 Ω, 2 Ω elements)
Drawing dual circuit for a parallel RLC with current source
Dependent & independent terms in Z-parameters
State Compensation Theorem
Examples of active & passive elements
Frequency response curve of parallel resonance RLC circuit
These questions appear clearly in a table on Page 1.
SECTION B — Long Descriptive Questions (Any 3 × 10 = 30 Marks)
(Shown on Page 2)
Section B includes five long questions, from which students must attempt any three.
Topics include:
Maximum Power Transfer Theorem for AC circuits
Inverse Laplace Transform of
- H(s)=s2+5s−9(s+1)(s2−2s+10)H(s) = \frac{s^2 + 5s - 9}{(s + 1)(s^2 - 2s + 10)}H(s)=(s+1)(s2−2s+10)s2+5s−9
Circuit response analysis
Application-based AC network calculations
Conceptual reasoning + mathematical derivation
These questions require step-by-step derivation or numerical solving.
SECTION C — Applied & Analytical Questions (10 × 5 = 50 Marks)
(Page 2 & Page 3)
Section C has five main questions (Q3–Q7); each question has two alternatives (a or b).
Students must attempt one from each question number.
Q3 — R–L Circuit / Fourier Series
(Page 2)
(a) Series R–L circuit: find time when VR=VLV_R = V_LVR=VL after voltage is applied at t = 0.
(b) Calculate trigonometric Fourier series coefficients of the given periodic waveform (graph shown on Page 2 from –π to π).
Q4 — Inverse Laplace Transform (Convolution)
(Page 2)
Find the inverse Laplace transform of the given function using Convolution Integral.
Q5 — Fourier Transform
(Page 3)
(a) Fourier transform of the function shown.
(b) Fourier transform of cosω0t\cos \omega_0 tcosω0t and sketching its spectrum.
Q6 — Network Parameters (Y-parameters / Symmetric Network)
(Page 3)
(a) Calculate Short Circuit Admittance Parameters (Y-parameters) of the circuit shown on Page 3 (with 1 Ω, 2 Ω, 1 Ω elements).
(b) Prove conditions for a symmetric network: Z11=Z22Z_{11} = Z_{22}Z11=Z22, etc.
Q7 — Positive Real Functions / Driving Point Impedance
(Page 3)
(a) Calculate Z(s) for a network with pole–zero locations (figure shown on Page 3) and given Z(0)=3Z(0) = 3Z(0)=3.
(b) Driving point impedance function properties & synthesis.
Each problem requires mathematical reasoning, transform evaluation, or network parameter derivation.
