Problem 2 Wavelengths in Radio Applications (10 points)

Radio waves propagate in free space (and in our atmosphere) at the speed of
electromagnetic waves (e.g., light waves) – an EM wave velocity of v = 2.99792 ´ 108
meters per second. For this problem use v = 3.00 ´ 108 meters per second
(m/sec). An important wave parameter for electromagnetic waves is the wavelength l
which is inversely related to the wave frequency f (cycles per second in units of Hertz).
The relationship is (as you know) velocity equals wavelength times frequency (v = l×f ).

The reason wavelength l is important is because the wavelength is


approximately the spatial resolving dimension of radar and antenna sizes scale with
wavelength (e.g., long wavelengths requires large antennas where \the antenna will be
of the order of the wavelength in size for best transmission and receiption).

To get a feel for the size of the free space wavelength l for various radio
communication systems, fill out the table below: [Express all wavelengths in meters.]

Radio Application Frequency Band Wavelength Range


AM broadcast radio 535 kHz to 1605 kHz

FM broadcast radio 88 MHz to 108 MHz


VHF Civil Aviation Band 108 MHz to 136 MHz 2.778 meters to 2.206 meters

GSM Cellular (Uplink) 890 MHz to 915 MHz

Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n 2.400 GHz to 2.497 GHz

Problem 3 Voltage Gain & Power Gain (10 points)


Electrical engineers often specify, or characterize, circuit blocks and/or networks
in terms of voltage gain and power gain. Voltage and power gains can be expressed
either numerically or in decibels (see Handout #1 for a discussion of decibels). In this
problem you are presented with the amplifier circuit shown diagrammatically shown
below with input and output resistances and voltages levels as labeled.

Vin = 0.5 volt Vout = 10 volts

Rin Rout
= 75 W = 75 W
Assume the amplifier is impedance matched at output and input. Calculate:

(a) The numerical voltage gain ratio.

(b) The voltage gain expressed in decibles (dB).

(c) The power gain ratio.


Homework 1

3
(d) The power gain ratio expressed in decibels (dB).

Added note to the curious student: Cable line amplifiers (CATV) in cable television
distribution systems typically use 75 ohm coaxial cable (rather than 50 ohm coaxial
cables) because a 77 ohm coxial cable provides the lowest poss per length of line and
75 ohm cable is therefore lower loss than a 50 ohm cable. The highest peak power
carrying capability in a coxial cable is a cable with a 30 ohm characterisitic impedance.
Thus, a 50 ohm coxial cable is a compromise between 30 ohm and 77 ohm
characteristic impedances. That is why 50 ohm coaxial cables are so widely used.

Problem 4 Communication Link: Gain & Loss (10 points)


We have three circuit components cascaded together as shown on the block
diagram below. The links (Link 1-2 and Link 2-3) are long stretches of transmission
lines between the networks. Link 1-2 has a loss of 30 dB and Link 2-3 has a loss of 20
dB. We don’t know the power gain G1 of Network 1, but we are told that with an input
power of Pin1 = 500 mW fed into Network 1, the power flowing into the input of Network
2 is Pin2 = 100 mW.

Network 1 Network 2 Network 3


Link 1-2 Link 2-3
G1 +16 dB +16 dB
-30 dB -20 dB
Pin1 Pin2 Pin3 Pout

Calculate the following quantities:

(a) The output power (in milliwatts) from Network 1. Homework 1

(b) The power gain (in decibels) of Network 1 (power gain denoted by G1).

4
(c) The overall power gain, or power loss, of the entire chain (i.e., calculate Pout/Pin1).
Express power gain (or loss) in decibels.

(d) The delivered output power Pout in watts.

Problem 5a Bandwidth of a Channel (5 points)


(This is problem 1.11 in Abgo and Sadiku – page 14)

Evaluate the bandwidth of a channel with capacity 36,000 bits/sec and a signal-
to-noise ratio of 30 dB.

Problem 5b Bandwidth of a Channel (5 points)


(This is problem 1.10 in Abgo and Sadiku – page 14)

Calculate the bandwidth required of a channel capacity of 25 kbps (kilobits/sec)


when the signal-to-noise ratio is numerically 500.
