hi guy,

I am currently study RF electronic, I got this ABDC matrix which i find it hard to understand how do i obtain the graph as show in my attachment..

Example how do RL = 5 ohms have attenuation of 23dB? how do i get value from the formula. Can show someone show me the example of calculation, i would find it helpful .. Thanks

Anthony

To find the attenuation factor (alpha) we need to find the transfer function. That is defined as 1/A = V2/VG.

Plug in given values for R, Rg, C into the formula for V2/VG and you'll end up with a function depending only on the frequency (omega) which is your transfer function. Actually, it will also depend on RL. Differing values of RL will give you different transfer functions (and thus different attenuation factors).

As you can see, the smaller the load resistance, the more the attenuation. I think that is the point of the exercise.
