Quiz

The document contains questions about calculating noise figures, noise voltages and currents for amplifiers and diodes, as well as microwave link design parameters like fade margin and free space path loss. It asks to determine total noise figure for a three stage amplifier, output noise voltage for an amplifier operating at 27C with a 5uVrms input, noise current for a 1mA forward biased diode over 100kHz, and the transistor noise figure given input and output S/N powers. It also asks to calculate thermal noise voltage for two resistors in series at 27C over 10kHz and the beam clearance needed for a 4Ghz 50km microwave link, as well as the fade margin for an 8Ghz 40km link with 99
