CHAPTER 5

1. Define the following:


i) Noise
ii) Interference
iii) Distortion

2. A domestic television receives antenna delivers a sky noise power of -105 dBm to
a matched coaxial feeder in a radio frequency bandwidth of 8 MHz. Find the
antenna noise temperature. (286.4 K)

mW

-14
P(Watt)=3.162x 10
3. An amplifier has noise equivalent bandwidth of 15 kHz. When a 10 kΩ resistor at
300 K is connected to the input, determine the thermal noise voltage of the
amplifier by assuming the meter is impedance matched to the amplifier. (1.58
µV)
4. An amplifier is quoted as having a noise figure 3.5 dB. Calculate the noise factor,
noise temperature and noise power. (2.24, 360 K,4.97x10-21 W)

5. An antenna is connected to some receiving system using a waveguide with a loss


of 0.3 dB and noise figure is 0.3 dB. Calculate the overall effective temperature of
the system if antenna temperature, Ta is 15 K. Assume ambient temperature is 300
K. (47.75 K)

Antenna G2 = 20dB G3 = 15dB


Ta = 15 K Te2 = 6 K NF3 = 4 dB
NF1=0.3dB Waveguide loss = 0.3 dB

6. Calculate the equivalent noise temperature of a microwave amplifier with an


average noise power of 1x10-14 W and operating bandwidth of 25 MHz. (29 K)

7. An amplifier consists of three identical stages in tandem. Each stage having equal
input and output impedances. For each stage, the power gain is 5 dB when
correctly matched. Calculate the overall power gain.
(31.62)

8. For a nonideal amplifier with the following parameters:

Input signal power 2.5 x 10-10 W


Input noise power 3 x 10-18 W
Power gain 1,000,000
Internal noise (Nd) 4.5 x 10-12 W

Table 1
Determine the following:

(i) Input Signal-to-Noise ratio (dB).


S/N (dB) = 10 log (2.5 x 10-10 / 3 x 10-18) =79.2 dB

(ii) Output Signal-to-Noise ratio (dB).


Nout = 1,000,000 (3 x 10-18) + 4.5 x 10-12 = 7.5 x 10-12 W
Pout = 1,000,000 (2.5 x 10-10) = 2.5 x 10-4 W

S/N (dB) = 10 log (2.5 x 10-4 / 7.5 x 10-12) = 75.2 dB

(iii) Noise factor and noise figure.


Noise factor = input signal-to-noise ratio/output signal-to-noise ratio
= 83.33x106 / 33.33x106= 2.5

Noise figure = 10 log 2.5 = 3.979 dB

(iv) Equivalent noise temperature.


Noise temperature = 290 (2.5 – 1) = 435 Kelvin.
9. States four types of channels.

10. List down three mode of propagations for electromagnetic waves.

11. With the aid of diagram, briefly explain Line of Sight (LOS) propagation.
