1. The loss in a cable is usually defined in decibels per kilometer (dB/km). If the
signal at the beginning of a cable with −0.3 dB/km has a power of 2 mW, what is
the power of the signal at 15 km?
2. A network with bandwidth of 10 Mbps can pass only an average of 10,000 frames
per minute with each frame carrying an average of 10,000 bits. What is the
throughput of this network?
3. What are the propagation time and the transmission time for a 3.5-kbyte message
(an e-mail) if the bandwidth of the network is 1 Gbps? Assume that the distance
between the sender and the receiver is 10,000 km and that light travels at 2.4 × 108
m/s.
4. A digitized voice channel is made by digitizing a 4-Hz bandwidth analog voice
signal. We need to sample the signal at twice the highest frequency (two samples
per hertz). We assume that each sample requires 8 bits. What is the required bit
rate?
5. If a network link has a throughput of 10 megabits per second (Mbps), and each
packet transmitted is 1000 bytes in size, how many packets can be transmitted per
second?
6. Draw the graph for the following scheme for the given data stream.
01010110.
a. Uni polar
b. NRZ-L
c. NRZ-I
d. RZ
e. Manchester
f. Differential Manchester
g. AMI
h. Pseudo ternary
