Sheet 5

Q1. Two amplifiers are connected in cascade, each having a gain of 10 dB and a noise
temperature of 200 K. Calculate:
(a) the overall gain
(b) the effective noise temperature referred to input.
Q2. The noise factor of an amplifier is 7:1. Calculate:
(a) the noise figure and
(b) the equivalent noise temperature.
Q3. An amplifier having a noise temperature of 200 K has a 4-dB attenuator connected
at its input. Calculate the effective noise temperature referred to the attenuator input.
Q4. A receiving system consists of an antenna having a noise temperature of 60 K,
feeding directly into a LNA. The amplifier has a noise temperature of 120 K and a gain
of 45 dB. The coaxial feeder between the LNA and the main receiver has a loss of 2 dB,
and the main receiver has a noise figure of 9 dB. Calculate the system noise temperature
referred to input.
Q5. An antenna having a noise temperature of 35 K is connected through a feeder
having 0.5-dB loss to an LNA. The LNA has a noise temperature of 90 K. Calculate the
system noise temperature referred to (a) the feeder input and (b) the LNA input.
Q6. In a satellite link the propagation loss is 200 dB. Margins and other losses account
for another 3 dB. The receiver [G/T] is 11 dB, and the [EIRP] is 45 dBW. Calculate the
received [C/N] for a system bandwidth of 36 MHz.
Q7. A carrier-to-noise density ratio of 90 dBHz is required at a receiver having a [G/T]
ratio of 12 dB. Given that total losses in the link amount to 196 dB, calculate the [EIRP]
required.

120 K. Calculate [G/T].
Q9. At the input to a receiver the received carrier power is 400 pW and the system
noise temperature is 450 K. Calculate the carrier-to-noise density ratio in dBHz. Given
that the bandwidth is 36 MHz, calculate the carrier-to-noise ratio in decibels.
Q10. (a) A transmitter feeds a power of 10 W into an antenna which has a gain of 46
dB. Calculate the EIRP in (i) watts; (ii) dBW.
Q11. A system operates with an antenna noise temperature of 40 K and an input
amplifier noise temperature of 120 K. Calculate the available noise power density of the
system referred to the amplifier input
