The group will have to follow the next steps to accomplish the activity
goals.
Step 1: Make an academic research about the topics defined for this
unit.

Step 3: Each member of the group has to participate solving the given
problems; if all members don’t chose a role, the group has to ensure
that all problems are solved and delivered in the forum.

Step 4: Validated the problems answers and procedures by mean of

the suitable tool.

Step 5: Compile the group contributions from the collaborative forum

and ensure the accomplish of the rubric items.

Step 6: Deliver the work in the monitoring and evaluation

Paso 5: realiza la actividad final

El grupo tendrá que seguir los próximos pasos para lograr los
objetivos de la actividad.

Paso 1: realice una investigación académica sobre los temas

definidos para esta unidad.

Paso 3: cada miembro del grupo debe participar resolviendo los

problemas dados; si todos los miembros no eligen un rol, el
grupo debe asegurarse de que todos los problemas se
resuelvan y se entreguen en el foro.

Paso 4: validó las respuestas y los procedimientos de

problemas por medio de la herramienta adecuada.

Paso 5: compila las contribuciones del grupo del foro de

Activities to develop

In this activity, the group will have to solve some practical problems
using as a reference the following image.

Actividades para desarrollar

En esta actividad, el grupo deberá resolver algunos problemas prácticos

utilizando como referencia la siguiente imagen

Retrieved from: http://www.scientechworld.com/education-software-training-and-skill-

development/wireless-communication/understanding-wireless-sensor-network

Taking into account the image, solve the following problems:

1. If the signal frequency used to send the sensed parameters from

the water monitoring system to the reception point is 6 MHz.
how deep could the wireless transmitter be placed? How does
the water behave at this frequency? Find Υ, 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝜆 and 𝑣𝑝 .
Explain how these values could be used in the practice.
 2. If the medium has the following electromagnetic characteristics:
𝜎 = 10−4 𝑆𝑚⁄𝑚, 𝜖𝑟 = 1 y 𝜇𝑟 = 1. Find the losses per length unit,
take into account the given frequency for the signal, how long
must travel the signal to have more than 3dB of attenuation?

3. In the buildings have an intrinsic impedance of 𝜂2 = 300Ω and the

signal has a power of 100𝑚𝑊/𝑚2 . Fin the reflected and
transmitted power to the buildings.

4. A near monitoring station has put 75Ω coaxial transmission line

with a length of 20 m and is terminated with an antenna of
37.5 + 𝑗78Ω. If the relative permittivity of the line is 2.56 and the
frequency is 3.0 GHz, find the input impedance to the line, the
reflection coefficient at the load, the reflection coefficient at the
input, and the SWR on the line.

5. In the monitoring station, there is a radio transmitter connected

to an antenna having an impedance 80 + 𝑗40Ω with a 50Ω coaxial
cable. If the 50Ω transmitter can deliver 30 W when connected to
a 50Ω load, how much power is delivered to the antenna?

Use the software Smith Chart to validate the answer to the fourth and
fifth problems.

Teniendo en cuenta la imagen, resuelva los siguientes

problemas:

Si la frecuencia de señal utilizada para enviar los parámetros

detectados desde el sistema de monitoreo de agua al punto de
recepción es de 6 MHz. ¿Cuán profundo se podría colocar el transmisor
inalámbrico? ¿Cómo se comporta el agua a esta frecuencia? Encuentra
Υ, α, β, λ y v_p. Explica cómo estos valores podrían usarse en la
práctica.

Si el medio tiene las siguientes características electromagnéticas: σ =

〖10〗 ^ (- 4) Sm / m, ε_r = 1 y μ_r = 1. Encuentre las pérdidas por
unidad de longitud, tenga en cuenta la frecuencia dada para la señal,
¿cuánto tiempo debe recorrer la señal para tener más de 3 dB de
atenuación?
En los edificios tiene una impedancia intrínseca de η_2 = 300Ω y la
señal tiene una potencia de 100mW / m ^ 2. Fin de la potencia
reflejada y transmitida a los edificios.

Una estación cercana de monitoreo ha puesto una línea de transmisión

coaxial de 75Ω con una longitud de 20 my termina con una antena de
37.5 + j78Ω. Si la permitividad relativa de la línea es 2.56 y la
frecuencia es 3.0 GHz, encuentre la impedancia de entrada a la línea,
el coeficiente de reflexión en la carga, el coeficiente de reflexión en la
entrada y la ROE en la línea.

En la estación de monitoreo, hay un transmisor de radio conectado a

una antena que tiene una impedancia de 80 + j40Ω con un cable
coaxial de 50Ω. Si el transmisor de 50 Ω puede entregar 30 W cuando
está conectado a una carga de 50 Ω, ¿cuánta potencia se envía a la
antena?

Use el software Smith Chart para validar la respuesta al cuarto y

quinto problema.

The academic sanctions that the student will face are

the following:
A) In cases of academic fraud demonstrated in
academic work or respective evaluation, the grade
that will be imposed will be zero point zero (0.0)
 without prejudice to the corresponding disciplinary
sanction.
