Solution Tutorial # 1 (Intro)

Here are the conversions from dBm to mW: a) -30 dBm = 1 mW b) 0 dBm = 1 mW c) 10 dBm = 10 mW d) -10 dBm = 0.1 mW To convert: 1) dBm refers to power relative to 1 milliwatt 2) Use the formula: Power (mW) = 10^(dBm/10) So for each value: a) -30 dBm = 10^(-30/10) = 1 mW b) 0 dBm = 10^(0/10) = 1 mW c) 10 dBm = 10^(10

Tutorial 1: Introduction to

Telecommunications

solution
1. What is the purpose of
communication system?

 The purpose of communication system is to


transfer information from one place to another.
2. Sketch the model of communication
system and briefly explain the
components of the system.

Channel/ Transmission
Transmitter medium Receiver

Modulator Demodulator

Sender Recipient
 Transmission channel: Physical link between the communicating
parties
 Modulator:Transform the information signal so that it is
physically suitable for transmission channel
 Transmitter: Introduce modulated signal into the channel
(usually amplifying the signal as it does so)
 Receiver: Detect the transmitted signal on the channel (and
amplifies it as it will have been attenuated by its journey)
 Demodulator: Transform back the received signal to the
original information signal
3. Convert the following absolute power
ratios to dB:
(a) 15
(c) 0.05
Power ratio(dB) = 10 log Po/Pi) Power ratio(dB) = 10 log (Po/Pi)
= 10 log (15) = 10 log (0.05)
= 11.76 dB = -13.01dB
(b) 3000 (d) 0.008
Power ratio(dB) = 10 log Po/Pi) Power ratio(dB) = 10 log (Po/Pi)
= 10 log (3000) = 10 log (0.008)
= 34.77 dB = -20.97 dB
4. Convert the following decibel values
to absolute ratios:
(a) 2dB
Ap (dB) = 10 log Apr
(c) -10dB
Apr = 10^(2/10) = 1.58
Ap (dB) = 10 log Apr
Apr = 10^(-10/10) = 0.1
(b) 27dB
Ap (dB) = 10 log Apr (d) -34dB
Apr = 10^(27/10) = 501.19 Ap (dB) = 10 log Apr
Apr = 10^(-34/10) =
3.98x10^(-4)
5.State the differences between half-
duplex and full-duplex modes
Half Duplex Full Duplex
• Limited bandwidth number of • Required twice as much
wire or number of signal channel bandwidth as half duplex path

• Each user share same bandwidth • User do not take turns


or wire but different time

• Use when there is a need for two • More convenient to use and
way communication more efficient in an overall
communication
6.Define decibel
 dB is a unit that describe ratio of two value
used to express relative gains or losses of
electronic devices and circuits in power or use in any unit in any field
7.Convert the following powers to dBm:
a.) 0.001 μW
b.)2 pW
c.)1 W
d.)1 mW
= 10 ( )
0.001

0.001 μW
a.) 10 ( ) = -60 dBm
0.001W
2 pW
b.) 10 ( ) = -87 dBm
0.001W
1W
c.) 10 ( ) = 30dBm
0.001W
1mW
d.) 10 ( ) = 0dBm
0.001W
8.Convert the following powers to dBW:
a.) 0.001 μW
b.)2 pW
c.)1 W
d.)1 mW
W = 10 ( )

a.) 10 (0.001μW) = -90 W

b.) 10 (2 pW) = -117 W

c.) 10 (1W) = 0 W

d.) 10 (1mW) = -30 W


To enable passing of information from one
individual to another using computer, fax, phones,
etc:
What is the function of communication
system?

 To enable passing of information from one individual to


another using computer, fax, phones, etc:
Basic Communication Model
Transmission Physical link between the communicating
channel : parties.

Modulator : Transforms the source signal so that it is


physically suitable for transmission channel.

Transmitter : Introduces modulated signal into the


channel
(usually amplifying the signal as it does so)

Receiver : Detects the signal on the channel and


usually
amplifies it (as it will have been attenuated
by
its journey)

Demodulator : Receives the signal source signal from the


received signal and passes it to the recipient.
What is the difference between a
positive and a negative decibel?
Ap(dB) = 10 log (P out/ P in )
Where:
Ap(dB)= power gain (dB)
Pout= output power levels (watts)
Pin= input power levels (watts)
(P out/ P in ) = absolute power gain (unit less)

Positive (+) dB value Negative (-) dB value

indicates the output indicates the output


power is greater than input power, which power is less than input power, which in
indicates power gain or turn
amplification indicates power loss or attenuation
