ECE141

Homework #1 from EE3436 at Princess Sumaya University for Technology asks students to: 1) Sketch the output of a 2 KHz square wave passing through channels with different bandwidths using MATLAB. 2) Calculate and sketch the spectrum of a sawtooth waveform, explaining why it has no DC component. 3) Calculate the noise figure and temperature of an amplifier given its input and output signal-to-noise ratios. 4) Compare the noise figures of two receivers with different noise temperatures.

Homework #1
EE3436 1) A 2 KHz square waves passes through each of three communication channels whose bandwidths are given below. By using MATLAB, sketch the output in the time domain for each case a) 0 to 10 kHz b) 2 kHz to 4 kHz c) 0 to 4kHz 2) Calculate and sketch the spectrum for the sawtooth waveform in Figure (1). Explain why this waveform has no dc component.

3) The signal-to-noise ratio is 30dB at the input to an amplifier and 27.3dB at the output. a) What is the noise figure of the amplifier? b) What is its noise temperature? 4) a) A receiver has a noise temperature of 100K. What is its noise figure in decibels? b) A competing company has a receiver with a noise temperature of 90 K. Assuming its other specifications are equals, is this receiver better or worse than the one in part (a)? Explain your answer. 5) The four stages of an amplifier have gains and noise figures (in decibels ) as follows:

Stage 1 2 3 4

Power Gain 12 dB 15 dB 20 dB 17 dB

Noise Figure 2 dB 4 dB 6 dB 7 dB

Calculate the overall noise figure in decibels. 6) A three-stage amplifier is to have an overall noise temperature no greater than 70 K. The overall again of the amplifier is to be at least 45 dB. The amplifier is to be build by adding a low-noise first stage to an existing two-stage amplifier that has the gains and noise figures shown below. (The stage numbers refer to location in the new amplifier.) Stage 2 3 Power Gain 20 dB 13 dB Noise Figure 3 dB 7 dB

a) What is the minimum gain (in decibels) that the first stage can have? b) Using the again you calculated in part (a), calculate the maximum noise figure (in decibels) that the first stage can have. c) Suppose the gain of the first stage can be increased by 3dB without affecting its noise figure. What would be the effect on the noise temperature of the complete amplifier? 7) Consider a receiver made up of the following three stages: The input stage is a preamplifier with a gain of 20 dB and a noise figure of 6dB. The second stage is a 3dB lossy network. The output stage is an amplifier with a gain of 60 dB and a noise figure of 16 dB. a) Find the composite noise figure for the receiver. b) Repeat part (a) with the preamplifier removed. a) What the means by the following terminology : a) Transmitter

b) Channel c) Receiver d) Carrier e) Baseband f) Modulated signal g) FDM h) TDM i) CDM j) Harmonic distortion k) Intermodulation distortion l) Nonlinear frequency response m) Nonlinear phase response n) Noise o) Interference
