Chapter 3
1. Shorty describe attenuation, distortion and noise
Define bandwidth and throughput. Also,explain how throughput is different from bandwidth
2. Distinguish between periodic and non-periodic composite analog signals with respect to their time and
frequency domain.
3. Consider a communications channel being used by a cable modem network. The channel has use of the spectrum
between 110 MHz and 129 MHz. The average signal power is 22mW and the average noise power is 2mW.
1. Interpret the theoretical maximum capacity of the channel in bps.
2. Assume the communication channel is a noiseless channel, calculate how many signal levels would be
needed using the above bit rate?
4. For a voice channel, signals passing through with frequency 210, 290, 330, 400, 580, 630 and 1210MHz. The
value of SNRdB is 56. Calculate the theoretical highest data rate for a noisy channel.
5. Calculate the total delay (latency) for a frame size of 5.5 million bytes that is being sent on a link with 13 routers
each having a queuing time of 2µs and a processing time of 1ms. The length of the link is 3000km. The speed of
the light inside the link is 2X108m/s and bandwidth is 7mbps.
6. Suppose the signal power is 5 MW at point A. The power loss rate at the wire from A to B is 5 kW/km and from C
to D is 0.05 dB/km. Calculate the total change of signal power in decibel and comment if the power is being
amplified/attenuated.
7. Suppose the signal power is 5 MW at point A. The power loss rate at the wire from A to B is 5 kW/km. If the
overall attenuation at point E w.r.t point A is -6dB. Calculate the signal power at point D.
8. Consider a communication channel that requires you to send 108 GB within 6 hours. The link operates on
signals with frequency range from 900 KHz to 14 MHz. If the link is perfect, i.e., no noise is introduced in the
link,
● Determine the number of voltage levels needed to fulfill the requirement.
● In practice, there is no noise free channel. Suppose, the strength of the noise power is 20mW which is 60
times weaker than the signal power. What will be the channel capacity considering the noise?

2. Two devices A and B are sending digital signals using the NRZ-I-line coding scheme. Device C is receiving the
signal simultaneously and combining them using bitwise AND operation. Then produces the final digital signal
using a line coding scheme that doesn’t have the consecutive 0 problem. Illustrate the final signal produced by
C. [You can use any valid line coding scheme for C]
