Question

The input power and the output power of an unnamed two-port component were measured:

The input (incident) power was 11 dBm.

The output power was 6 dBm.

The reflected power was -1 dBm.

The component did not radiate any significant power.

a) Determine the insertion loss (IL) in dB of this component.

b) Determine the return loss (RL) in dB of this component.

c) Determine the reflected power in mW.

d) Determine the power lost in mW due to insertion loss. Briefly explain your strategy.

e) Determine the power dissipated in this component. Briefly explain your strategy.
