Sheet “6”
1- A "QPSK TDMA" system requires a total preamble of 40 BPSK symbols and is it operates
with 9% preamble efficiency. Sampled voice transmitted at rate of 64 Kbps and 8 bits/burst
are to be transmitted over a TDMA satellite with an RF bit rate of 60 Mbps. Calculate:
a- The total number of BPSK data bits per slot.
b- The frame length.
c- The slot time.
2- A "QPSK TDMA" system requires a total preamble of 40 BPSK symbols and is it operates
with 8% preamble efficiency. Sampled voice transmitted at rate of 128 Kbps and 16 bits/burst
are to be transmitted over a TDMA satellite with an RF bit rate of 60 Mbps. Calculate:
a- The number of slots in each frame.
b- The total number of voice data channel in the TDMA frame.
c- The total number of voice data channel in each slot.

3- A BPSK TDMA system is to transmit 1000 digital voice channels, each sending 4 bits in each
burst, at a 64 kbps rate. The system must accommodate 1000 data bits/slot, at a frame
efficiency of 10 %.
a. Determine satellite bandwidth is needed.
b. Calculate the length of a TDMA frame.
4- A BPSK TDMA system is to transmit 1500 digital voice channels, each sending 8 bits in each
burst, at a 64 kbps rate. The system must accommodate 1000 data bits/slot, at a frame
efficiency of 10 %.
c. Determine the number of slots in a frame.
d. Calculate the length of preamble bits can be used.

5- Downlink [C/N0] of 87.3 dBHz is calculated for a TDMA circuit that uses QPSK modulation.
BER of 10-5 is required. Calculate the maximum transmission rate. Calculate also the IF
bandwidth required assuming a rolloff factor of 0.2.

6- A satellite transponder has a bandwidth of 36 MHz and a saturation EIRP of 27 dBW. The
earth-station receiver has a [G/T] of 30 dB/K, and the total link losses are 196 dB. The
transponder is accessed by FDMA carriers each of 3-MHz bandwidth, and 6-dB output
backoff is employed. Calculate the downlink carrier-to-noise ratio for single-carrier operation
and the number of carriers which can be accommodated in the FDMA system.

7- A 14-GHz uplink operates with transmission losses and margins totaling 212 dB and a
satellite [G/T] = 10 dB/K. The required uplink [Eb/N0] is 12 dB.
(a) Assuming FDMA operation and an earth-station uplink antenna gain of 46 dB, calculate
the earth-station transmitter power needed for transmission of a T1 baseband signal.
(b) If the downlink transmission rate is fixed at 74 dBbps, calculate the uplink power
increase required for TDMA operation.

8- The code waveform in a CDMA system spreads the carriers over the full 36 MHz bandwidth
of the channel, and the roll-off factor for the filtering is 0.4. The information bit rate is 64
kb/s, and the system uses BPSK. Calculate the processing gain in decibels. Given that the
BER must not exceed 10-5, give an estimate of the maximum number of channels that can
access the system.

9- The average power received in a binary polar transmission is 10 mW, and the bit period is
100 µs. If the noise power spectral density is 0.1 µJ, and optimum filtering is used, determine
the bit error rate.

10- The downlink transmission rate in a satellite circuit is 61 Mb/s, and the required [Eb /N0] at
the ground station receiver is 9.5 dB. Calculate the required [C/N0].
