Why Previous Year's Question Papers Are Essential?

Previous year question papers are essential to know the pattern of an examination. You should go through at least the last 10 years' question papers before sitting for any examination.

UGC NET Electronic Science (Code 88) Exam Overview

The UGC NET Electronics Science examination consists of two papers. Paper 1 covers General Teaching & Research Aptitude, while Paper 2 focuses specifically on Subject Code 88. To succeed, candidates must master topics such as:

  • Semiconductor Devices & IC Fabrication
  • Network Theory and Signals & Systems
  • Digital Electronics and Microprocessors (8085/8051)
  • Electromagnetics and Antennas

Using previous year question papers is the most effective way to understand the weightage of these topics.

📈 Topic-wise Weightage Analysis

Based on 2023-2024 trends, here is the approximate number of questions asked from each module:

Semiconductor Devices: 12-15 Questions
Digital & Microprocessors: 10-12 Questions
Electromagnetics (EMFT): 8-10 Questions

🎁 Bonus: UGC NET Paper 1 Resources

Don't ignore the General Aptitude paper! It carries 100 marks and is key to securing JRF.

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...

Constellation Diagram of FSK in Detail

📘 Overview 🧮 Simulator for constellation diagram of FSK 🧮 Theory 🧮 MATLAB Code 📚 Further Reading 📚 BER vs SNR from Constellation   Binary bits '0' and '1' can be mapped to 'j' and '1' to '1', respectively, for Baseband Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) . Signals are in phase here. These bits can be mapped into baseband representation for a number of uses, including power spectral density (PSD) calculations. For passband BFSK transmission, we can modulate signal 'j' with a lower carrier frequency and signal '1' with a higher carrier frequency while transmitting over a wireless channel. Let's assume we are transmitting carrier signal fc1 for the transmission of binary bit '1' and carrier signal fc2 for the transmission of binary bit '0'.

Coherence Bandwidth and Coherence Time (with MATLAB + Simulator)

🧮 Coherence Bandwidth 🧮 Coherence Time 🧮 MATLAB Code s 📚 Further Reading For Doppler Delay or Multi-path Delay Coherence time T coh ∝ 1 / v max (For slow fading, coherence time T coh is greater than the signaling interval.) Coherence bandwidth W coh ∝ 1 / τ max (For frequency-flat fading, coherence bandwidth W coh is greater than the signaling bandwidth.) Where: T coh = coherence time W coh = coherence bandwidth v max = maximum Doppler frequency (or maximum Doppler shift) τ max = maximum excess delay (maximum time delay spread) Notes: The notation v max −1 and τ max −1 indicate inverse proportionality. Doppler spread refers to the range of frequency shifts caused by relative motion, determining T coh . Delay spread (or multipath delay spread) determines W coh . Frequency-flat fading occurs when W coh is greater than the signaling bandwidth. Coherence Bandwidth Coherence bandwidth is...

FM Bandwidth and FM Band Explained

FM radio uses the frequency band from 88 MHz to 108 MHz , which is a 20 MHz-wide spectrum . This is the range of carrier frequencies available to stations. 108 MHz − 88 MHz = 20 MHz However, a single FM station occupies only about 200 kHz . This is the bandwidth of the modulated FM signal. 1. Why One FM Station Needs ~200 kHz FM uses frequency modulation . The bandwidth depends on how far the carrier swings. Carson's Rule gives the approximate FM bandwidth: B = 2 ( Δf + f m ) ...
