Quiz:

Copy and Answer

1. A certain cable transmission system is shown. The nominal signal level at the
source output is -3dBm. The signal is amplified before transmission by a line
amplifier whose gain is 18 dB, the first section of cable (section A) has a loss
of 22dB a booster amplifier with a gain of 26 dB is place at the output of that
section. The second section (section B) has a loss of 25 dB the system is
operated on a matched impedance basis with all effective source and
termination having a resistance of 600 ohms, and the characteristic impedance
of the cable is the same.

Find the following:


a. Determine the signal level in dBm at various points in the system
b. Determine the gain of the receiver amplifier such that its nominal output
level in dBm at various is 6 volts across a 600 ohms termination.

2. A 400Km repeater system consist of M identical section with an attenuation of


(.4 dB/Km) and is identical amplifier with 30 dB maximum gain. Find the
required number of sections and gain per amplifier so that Power out (Pout=
50mW) and (Pin = 2W).

3. The output diagram of a communication link is shown the input to the amplifier
is 26 dBm and its given gain is 12 dB the output of the amplifier is connected
to telephone link which has an efficiency of 80% and is terminated with a
transformer whose loss is 1.5Watts. The secondary load on the transformer is
10Ω. What is the voltage appearing across the load?

4. A police two way communication network consist of a base station located at


X with a transmitter RF power output of 50Watts operating at 150Mhz. The
antenna height is 120 ft. The transmission line is 150 ft. and consist of RG-11
U coaxial cable (attenuation factor of 5 dB/100ft) and is fed to a unity dB gain
antenna. When the police mobile car is at location Y the total path loss is 150
dB, when the police mobile car moves to location Z the total path loss increases
to 200 dB the police mobile car is furnished with a two-way transceiver with a
3 dB gain antenna. Assuming that the coaxial cable is negligible in the police
mobile car determine the following:
a. The received signal level in dBw, in the receiver of the police mobile car
when this is located at Y while the base station is transmitting.

b. RSL in dBw when the police mobile car is at location Z.

c. Assuming that the RSL being receive is unsatisfactory and below the
required minimum input to the receiver in the police mobile car when it is
at location Z recommend at least two practical means of increasing the
signal level without increasing the base station transmitter power of
50Watts.
