1. Introduction: PASSIVE COMPONENTS FOR RF CIRCUITS

1. Intrinsic wave impedance, phase velocity, and wavelengths. Compute the intrinsic wave
impedance, phase velocity, and wavelengths of an electromagnetic wave in free space for the
frequencies f = 30 MHz, 300 MHz, 30 GHz.

2. Conversion between wire diameter and AWG size. Determine the radius of the AWG 26
wire if the diameter of the AWG 50 wire is 1.0 mil (or 2.54x10-5m).

3. RF impedance response of metal film resistors. Find the high frequency impedance
behavior of a 500 Q metal film resistor (see Figure 1-8) with 2.5 cm copper wire connections
of AWG 26 and a stray capacitance Ca, of 5 pF.

4. RF impedance response of capacitor. Compute the high frequency impedance of a 47 pF

capacitor whose dielectric medium consists of an aluminum oxide (AL203) possessing a
series loss tangent of 10-4 (assumed to be frequency independent) and whose leads are 1.25
cm AWG 26 copper wires (σCu = 64.510-6 Ω-1. m-1.

5. RF impedance response of an RFC. Estimate the frequency response of an RFC formed by

N = 3.5 turns of AWG 36 copper wire on a 0.1 inch air core. Assume that the length of the
coil is 0.05 inch.
