Exercises (From the text book -Data communication and networking-)


16- We measure the performance of a telephone line (4 KHz of bandwidth). When the signal is 20 V, the noise is 6 mV. What is the maximum data rate supported by this telephone line? Capacity=B*log2(1+SNR)= 4000 * (log(1 + (20 / 0.006)) / log(2)) = 46 812.7305 bps 21- Given the frequencies listed below, calculate the corresponding periods. a. 20Hz T = 1 / f = 1 / (20 Hz)=0.0500 s=50 ms. b. 10 MHz T = 1 / f = 1 / (10 MHz) = 0.0000001 = 0.1 106 s = 0.125 s c. 150 KHz T = 1 / f = 1 / (150 KHz)=0.0.00000666 s=6.66 106 s=6.66 ms 26- What is the frequency of the signal in Figure ?

The signal makes 8 cycles in 4 ms. The frequency is 8 /(4 ms) = 2 KHz

27- A signal travels from point A to point B. At point A, the signal power is 200 W. At point B, the power is 170 W. What is the attenuation in decibels? dB = 10 log10 (170 / 200) = 0.705 dB 32- Given the following periods, calculate the corresponding frequencies. a. 8 s = f = 1 / T =1/8=0.125 Hz b. 10 s f = 1 / T =1/10 s =100000 Hz=100 KHz c. 200 ns 6 f = 1 / T = 1 / (200 ns) = 5000000 Hz = 5 10 Hz = 5 MHz 37- A line has a signal-to-noise ratio of 2000 and a bandwidth of 5000 KHz. What is the maximum data rate supported by this line? 5 000 * (log(2001) / log(2)) = 54832.5273 kbps 40- What is the theoretical capacity of a channel in each of the following cases: a. Bandwidth: 20 KHz SNRdB =40 c= B*((log(1+10^(SNRdb/10)))/log(2))= 20*((log(1+10^(40/10)))/log(2))= 265 kbps b. Bandwidth: 200 KHz SNRdB =6 c=200 * (log(1 + (10^(6 / 10))) / log(2)) = 463.291236 kbps c. Bandwidth: 1 MHz SNRdB =20 c=1 * (log(1 + (10^(20 / 10))) / log(2)) = 6.658 Mbps 41- The attenuation of a signal is -12 dB. What is the final signal power if it was originally 4 W? -12=10*log(p2/4) --> -12/10= log(p2/4) --> -1.2= log(p2/4) --> 10^-1.2=(p2/4) --> p2=0.2523 W 46- A signal with 300 milliwatts power passes through 10 devices, each with an average noise of 3 microwatts. What is the SNR? What is the SNRdB? SNR = (300 mW) / (10 3 W) =300*10^-3/30*10^-6= 10,000 SNRdB = 10 log10 SNR = 10 log10 10000=40 48- A computer monitor has a resolution of 1300 by 1000 pixels. If each pixel uses 1024 colors, how many bits are needed to send the complete contents of a screen? To represent 1024 colors, we need log2 1024 = 10 bits. The total number of bits are, therefore, 1300 1000 10 = 13,000,000 bits
