- Q3. What is VSWR and what is the need for it?
- Ans.
VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. It is a measure of how well a transmission line is matched to the impedance of the connected devices.
VSWR is a ratio of the maximum voltage to the minimum voltage along a transmission line.
It is used to measure the efficiency of power transfer and the impedance matching in RF systems.
A lower VSWR indicates better impedance matching and less power loss.
VSWR is important in RF...

- Q3. What is the propagation delay in Electromagnetic wave?
- Ans.
Propagation delay is the time it takes for an electromagnetic wave to travel from one point to another.
Propagation delay is determined by the distance between the two points and the speed of light.
It is the time it takes for the wave to propagate through a medium or free space.
Propagation delay can be calculated using the formula: delay = distance / speed of light.
For example, if the distance between two points is 100 ...
- Q4. Draw Transmitter and Receiver for a communication system.

First Round was to judge engineering aptitude, i was asked general things and about my project. The interviewer was was very nice and friendly. A good experience overall.
Second round was a technical round questions from my projects and subjects like EMT and Communication systems was asked in great details. Friendly Interviewer, even though it was an interview I learnt a great deal. Again a very good experience.
Third Round was manager round. Again a technical round. Question asked from EMT and communication systems. The interviewer was not friendly at all, I felt like I was sitting in a college viva. The interviewer started every question with "Do you have any Idea about--" which I felt was berating and rude at least. While explaining things the interviewer interrupted me again and again and kept asking questions related to it which intimidated me. In the previous rounds of interview if I answered incorrectly or partially correctly the interviewer would ask me to rethink and give me sometime for the same. Here the interviewer would answer with "hmmm" again and again and move to the next question. Overall questions asked were from complete basics but I didn't have a good interview experience at all.
Reading previous interview experience for freshers, I was told I'd be asked for my preferred subject but that was not the case so an interviewee should be prepared for the worst.
