c. How many characters can be downloaded in a minute when an xDSL system with

the highest possible rate is used. xDSL system with the highest possible rate is provided by VDSL at 52 Mbps

52 Mbps = 52 x 10 6 bits / sec = (52 x 10 6 bits / sec) / (8 bits / character) = 6.5 x 10 6 characters / sec No. of characters that can be downloaded in a minute = (6.5 x 10 6 characters / sec ) x ( 60 sec / minute) = 3.9 x 10 8 characters / minute

Margin.

Fade Margin = Unfaded Receive Signal Level - Receiver Sensitivity Threshold = - 60 dBm - ( -100 dBm ) = 40 dB e. Which is a better design, 4.b or 4.d above ? Explain.

If the fade margin of 40 dB is needed due to atmospheric conditions of the microwave link in 4.d, then 4.d is a better design. If the atmospheric conditions of the microwave link in 4.d do not require 40 dB fade margin, but can still perform with 20 dB fade margin, then 4.b is a better design.

multiplexers, E-1, E-2, E-3 and E-4. a. Which of these multiplexers would you prefer to send one digital video channel ?

E-4

b. Which of these multiplexers would you prefer to send 150 digital voice channels ? E-3

c. How efficient is your choice in 5.b above ? What can happen if you use statistical multiplexer instead ? Explain.

It is not efficient because only 150 digital voice channels are used whereas there are 480 digital voice channels available in E-3. If statistical mux of the right size is used instead, the traffic flow would be more efficient.

d. Would you allocate a 256 kbps channel to transmit this signal? Why? No because more than 64 kbps rate will be unnecessary in the recovery of the original signal.

e. Would you allocate a 32 kbps channel to transmit this signal? Why?

No because with a rate less than 64 kbps, the original signal will only be recovered with loss of information which is not desired.

c. Find the output power of the transmitter in LINK-2 if the Received Signal Level in

LINK-2 is -72.6 dBm.

Po = RSL + Lctx - Gatx + Lcrx - Gatx + FSL

One analog voice channel bandwidth is 4 KHz = 4 x 10 3 Hz. In 6 MHz band, there are (6 x 10 6 Hz) / (4 x 10 3 Hz) = 1500 times 4 KHz.

So, maximum number of analog voice channels that can be transmitted in two TV channels = 3000.

b. What is the required minimum bit rate to transmit one TV channel digitally, if one sample value is represented by 10 bits?

Sampling by twice the maximum frequency ⇒ 6 MHz x 2 = 12 M samples per second

To represent the sample with 10 bits means 10 bits / sample Minimum Bit Rate= 12 M samples per second x 10 bits / sample = 120 Mbps

c. What is the required minimum bit rate to transmit one TV channel digitally, if one sample value is represented by 256 levels?

Sampling by twice the maximum frequency ⇒ 6 MHz x 2 = 12 M samples per second To represent the sample with 256 levels means 8 bits / sample

19. An image is represented by 1 million bits.

a. If 56 kbps modem is used, how many images can be downloaded in 20 hours?

Answer:

56 kbps = 56000 bits/sec

There are (60 minutes/hour) x (60 seconds/minute) = 3600 seconds in an hour

There are 3600 x 20 = 72000 seconds in 20 hours

So, 72000 seconds in 10 hours x 56000 bits/sec = 4032 x 106 bits in 10 hours

No. of images that can be downloaded in 10 hours = 4032 x 106 bits / 10

6 bits

= 4032 images

b. If an ADSL with download rate of 1 Mbps is used, how many images can be downloaded in

an hour?

Answer:

1 Mbps = 106 bits/sec

There are (60 minutes/hour) x (60 seconds/minute) = 3600 seconds in an hour

So, 3600 seconds in 1 hour x 106 bits/sec = 3600 x 10

6 bits in 1 hour

No. of images that can be downloaded in 1 hour = 3600 x 106 bits / 10

6 bits= 3600 images

c. If a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system is used which has 15000

16

= 1 Mbps / 56 Kbps = 17.86

The ratio of the rate of the system in part c to the rate of the system in part a

= 15 x 10 13

bits/sec / 56 Kbps = 2.68 billion

e. Among the systems described in parts a, b and c, which one would you prefer to use?

21. In a microwave link, free space loss (FSL) is 136.6 dB and frequency of operation is 10 GHz.

a. Find the link distance.

Answer:

FSL = 96.6+20 log D+20 logF = 96.6+20 log D +20 log10=96.6 +20 logD+20 =136.6 dB

20 log D +116.6 dB = 136.6 dB ⇒ 20 log D = 20 dB → D = 10 miles

Page 18: 1. The digital signal X(t) given below. X(t)ece271.cankaya.edu.tr/uploads/files/file/ECE 271_EXTRA HW Q AND A... · 256 levels mean that each sample is represented by 8 bits since

b. Cable loss of the transmitter cable is 6 dB, cable loss of the receiver cable is 4 dB,

transmitter output power is 20 dBm and the received signal level is – 66.6 dBm. Find the

antenna gain if the transmitter and the receiver antenna gains are the same.

Answer:

RSL = 20 dBm – 6 dB + G dBi – 136.6 dB + G dBi – 4 dB = – 66.6 dBm

20 dBm + G dBi + G dBi = (– 66.6 +146.6) dBm = 80 dBm

2G = 80 –20 → G = 30 dBi

c. If receiver sensitivity threshold is –96.6 dBm, find the fade margin.

Answer:

Fade Margin = Received Signal Level – Receiver Sensitivity Threshold

Fade Margin = – 66.6 – (– 96.6) = 30 dB

d. Keeping all the other link parameters the same, what operation frequency should be chosen

to have 50 dB fade margin?

Answer:

Fade Margin = Received Signal Level – Receiver Sensitivity Threshold

50 dB = Received Signal Level – (– 96.6) dBm

→ Received Signal Level = 50 dB + (– 96.6) dBm = –46.6 dBm

RSL = 20 dBm – 6 dB + 30 dBi – FSL dB + 30 dBi – 4 dB = –46.6 dBm

70 dBm – FSL= –46.6 dBm → FSL = 116.6 dB

FSL = 96.6+20 log 10 +20 log F = 96.6 +20 +20 log F =116.6 dB ⇒ F = 1 GHz.

e. Write 5 parameters that will effect the design of a microwave link. Keeping all the other

parameters the same, for each individual parameter, indicate whether an increase or decrease

12 bits

To find the no. of seconds to download this video signal → 504 x 1012

bits / 2 x 106

bits /

sec

= 252 x 106 sec

To find the no. of hours to download this video signal → 252 x 106 sec / 3600 sec / hour

= 7 x 104 hours

b. How many hours do you need to upload this video signal using the same system as in part a?

Answer:

Since SDSL is a symmetrical system, download and upload rates are equal. Thus, for the

same amount of information of upload, the same duration as in download will be needed,

i.e., 7 x 104 hours

c. Using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) system having 100 separate

bits / 40 x 10 11

bits/sec = 126 sec

d. How many pictures of this video can you download in 500 seconds by using a 56 kbps

modem?

Answer:

Page 21: 1. The digital signal X(t) given below. X(t)ece271.cankaya.edu.tr/uploads/files/file/ECE 271_EXTRA HW Q AND A... · 256 levels mean that each sample is represented by 8 bits since

25. A voice signal has a band of frequencies in between a minimum frequency of 50 Hz and a

maximum frequency of 6 kHz. This signal is digitized according to Nyquist rate and a

digital signal is obtained at a rate of 108 kbps.

a. Find the number of levels used to represent one sample.

Answer:

According to Nyquist, sampling rate is 6 kHz x 2 = 12000 samples / sec

Since the rate is 108 kbps, each sample is represented by 108 kbps / 12000 samples / sec

= 108000 bits / 12000 samples = 9 bits / sample which corresponds to 29 = 512 levels

b. Repeat part a, if the minimum frequency of this voice signal becomes 1 kHz.

Answer:

Since Nyquist rate is based on the maximum frequency, the result found in part a will not

change, i.e., 512 levels will be needed.

c. Repeat part a, if the minimum frequency of this voice signal is also 6 kHz.

Answer:

In this case there is only one frequency in the signal which is 6 kHz which is also the

maximum frequency so result found in part a will not change, i.e., 512 levels will be

needed.

d. If a video signal with a band of frequencies in between a minimum frequency of 100 Hz

and a maximum frequency of 7 Mhz is added to this audio signal, find the sampling rate

required according to Nyquist.

Answer:

When the described video signal is added to this voice signal, the maximum frequency will

still be the maximum frequency of the video, i.e., 7 Mhz

Thus, the sampling rate required according to Nyquist = 7 Mhz x 2 = 14 x 106 samples / sec

e. What is the rate of the digital signal obtained if 256 levels are used to digitize the signal in

part c?

Answer:

dB, cable loss of the receiver cable is 6 dB, transmitter antenna gain is 25 dBi and the receiver

antenna gain is equal to the transmitter antenna gain.

a. Find the frequency of operation.

Answer:

FSL = 96.6+20 log D+20 logF = 96.6+20 log 1 +20 logF=96.6 +0+20 logF =116.6 dB

20 log F+96.6 dB = 116.6 dB ⇒ 20 log F = 20 dB → F = 10 GHz

b. Find the received signal level (RSL).

Answer:

Fade Margin = RSL – receiver sensitivity threshold ⇒ 20 dB = RSL – (– 96.6 dBm)

RSL = – 96.6 dBm + 20 dB = – 76.6 dBm

c. Find the output power of the transmitter.

Answer:

RSL = P0 – 4 dB + 25 dBi – 116.6 dB + 25 dBi – 6 dB = – 76.6 dBm

P0 = 4 dB – 25 dBi + 116.6 dB – 25 dBi + 6 dB – 76.6 dBm = 0 dBm

32. In a radio link system, the following parameters are given:

Carrier frequency is 10 GHz, receiver signal level (RSL) is –86.6 dBm, fade margin is 10 dB,

transmitter antenna gain is 10 dBi, receiver antenna gain is 15 dBi, free space loss (FSL) is

136.6 dB, cable loss of the transmitter cable is 2 dB and cable loss of the receiver cable is 3 dB.

a. What is the link distance?

FSL = 96.6+20 log D+20 logF = 96.6+20 log D +20 logF=96.6 +20 log D +20 log10

=96.6 +20 log D +20 =136.6 dB

20 log D+96.6 dB = 116.6 dB ⇒ 20 log D = 20 dB → D = 10 miles

b. What is the output power of the transmitter?

Answer:

RSL = P0 – 2 dB + 10 dBi – 136.6 dB + 15 dBi – 3 dB = – 86.6 dBm

P0 = 2 dB – 10 dBi + 136.6 dB – 15 dBi + 3 dB – 86.6 dBm = 30 dBm

c. Find the maximum receiver sensitivity threshold (Rx) of the receiver that can be used in this

link.

Answer:

Fade Margin = RSL – receiver sensitivity threshold ⇒ 10 dB = – 86.6 dBm – Rx

Rx = – 86.6 dBm – 10 dB = – 96.6 dBm

d. What happens if you choose a receiver whose receiver sensitivity threshold (Rx) is 10 dBm

larger than the Rx found in part c?

Answer: In this case RSL will be equal to the receiver sensitivity threshold, i.e., Fade

Margin will be 0 which means there is no safety margin for the link availability.

e. If a radio link is designed for zero fade margin. What 3 parameters can you decrease and 2

parameters can you increase in order to have a positive fade margin in this link.

Answer: 3 parameters to be decrease are frequency, link distance and cable losses

2 parameters to be increase are the antenna gains and the output power of the transmitter

34. A picture is represented by 9600 bits and we want to download 180 million such

pictures.

a. How many days are needed to download the total 180 million pictures if an ADSL having a

downstream rate of 2 Mbps is used?

Answer:

Total bits = 180 x 106 pictures x 9600 bits / picture = 180 x 9.6 x 10

9 bits

To find the no. of seconds to download total pictures → 180 x 9.6 x 109 bits / 2 x 10

6 bits /

sec = 90 x 9.6 x 103

sec

To find the no. of hours to download total pictures → 90 x 9.6 x 103

sec / 3600 sec / hour =

240 hours

To find the no. of days to download the whole library → 240 hours / 24 hours / day = 10

days.

b. If the same amount of data in part a is uploaded do we need less, more or the same number

of days as found in part a? Why?

Answer:

ADSL is an asymmetrical system in which download rates are higher than the upload rates.

Thus, for the same amount of data of upload, we need more number of days as found in part

a.

Page 29: 1. The digital signal X(t) given below. X(t)ece271.cankaya.edu.tr/uploads/files/file/ECE 271_EXTRA HW Q AND A... · 256 levels mean that each sample is represented by 8 bits since

Multiplexing (DWDM) system that has 48 separate wavelengths and each wavelength can

carry 10 Gbps. Find the number of seconds required to download the total 180 million

pictures.

Answer:

Rate of DWDM = 48 wavelengths x 10 Gbps / wavelength = 480 x 10 9

bps

= 48 x 10 10

bps

To find the no. of seconds to download this video signal → 180 x 9.6 x 109 bits / 48 x 10

10

bits/sec = 3.6 sec

d. How many times faster is the DWDM given in part c as compared to the ADSL system

given in part a?

Answer:

Rate of DWDM given in part c = 48 wavelengths x 10 Gbps / wavelength = 480 x 10 9

bps

Rate of ADSL given in part a = 2 Mbps

So, DWDM given in part c is 480 x 10 9

bps / 2 Mbps = 240 x 10 3

= 240,000 times faster

as compared to the ADSL system given in part a.

e. How many pictures can be downloaded in one minute by a 56 kbps modem?

Answer:

36. In a 10 mile microwave link, 10 dB fade margin is used. In this link, a receiver is used which

has a receiver sensitivity threshold, Rx = – 106.6 dBm and the free space loss FSL = 116.6 dB.

Cable losses are 1 dB at the transmitter and 2 dB at the receiver. Antenna gains are 20 dBi at the

transmitter and 30 dBi at the receiver.

a. At which carrier frequency does this link operate?

Answer:

FSL = 96.6+20 log D+20 logF = 96.6+20 log 10 +20 logF=96.6 +20+20 logF =116.6 dB

20 log F+116.6 dB = 116.6 dB ⇒ 20 log F = 0 dB → F = 1 GHz

b. What is the received signal level (RSL)?

Answer:

Fade Margin = RSL – receiver sensitivity threshold ⇒ 10 dB = RSL – (– 106.6 dBm)

RSL = – 106.6 dBm + 10 dB = – 96.6 dBm

c. What is the output power of the transmitter, P0 in dBm?

Answer:

Po - Lctx + Gatx - FSL - Lcrx + Gatx = RSL

RSL = P0 – 1 dB + 20 dBi – 116.6 dB + 30 dBi – 2 dB = – 96.6 dBm

P0 = 1 dB – 20 dBi + 116.6 dB – 30 dBi + 2 dB – 96.6 dBm = -27 dBm

d. Will this link operate if all the other parameters of the link are kept the same except the

free space loss (FSL) becomes 130 dB? Why?

Answer:

When FSL = 116.6 dB, the link has a fade margin of 10 dB.

When FSL = 130 dB, there will bean extra loss of 130 dB – 116.6 bB = 13.4 dB which is

larger than the fade margin of 10 dB. Thus, this link will not operate.

e. Write 8 parameters that will effect the operation of a microwave link.

Answer:

Output power of the transmitter, transmitter cable loss, transmitter antenna gain, frequency

of operation, link distance, receiver antenna gain, receiver cable loss, receiver sensitivity

threshold

37. We want to download a digital image which is composed of 20 thousand bits.

a. An ADSL which has a download rate of 8 Mbps is used. Find the number of images that

can be downloaded in one minute.

Answer:

Answer:

For one wavelength, 10 Gbps = 10 10

bits/sec

For 100 wavelengths, 100 x 10 10

bits/sec = 10 12

bits/sec

In 1 minute, i.e., in 60 sec, 60 x 10 12

bits are downloaded.

No. of images that can be downloaded in 1 minute = 60 x 10 12

bits / (20 x 103) bits

= 3 x 10 9 images = 3 billion images.

c. A modem which has a download rate of 56 kps is used. Find the number of images that can

be downloaded in one minute.

Answer:

receiver sensitivity threshold of this link is Rx = – 101.6 dBm and the free space loss is

FSL = 116.6 dB. Cable losses are 2 dB at the transmitter and 1 dB at the receiver. Antenna

gains are 25 dBi at the transmitter and 15 dBi at the receiver.

a. Find received signal level (RSL).

Answer:

Fade Margin = RSL – receiver sensitivity threshold ⇒ 5 dB = RSL – (– 101.6 dBm)

RSL = – 101.6 dBm + 5 dB = – 96.6 dBm

b. Find the output power of the transmitter, P0 in dBm.

Answer:

Po - Lctx + Gatx - FSL - Lcrx + Gatx = RSL

RSL = P0 – 2 dB + 25 dBi – 116.6 dB + 15 dBi – 1 dB = – 96.6 dBm

P0 = 2 dB – 25 dBi + 116.6 dB – 15 dBi + 1 dB – 96.6 dBm = -17 dBm

Answer:

FSL = 96.6+20 log D+20 logF = 96.6+20 log 1 +20 logF=96.6 +0+20 logF =116.6 dB

20 log F+96.6 dB = 116.6 dB ⇒ 20 log F = 20 dB → F = 10 GHz

d. A new link (LINK-2) is designed in which all the other parameters of the LINK-1 are kept

the same except the carrier frequency of 1 GHz is used. Will this link (LINK-2) operate?

Why?

Answer:
