Mid-Semester Exam

Question 1 [10 marks]

A voice signal of 4 kHz is to be transmitted over 3G network operating at 2100MHz.

(a) Discuss why the baseband signal cannot be transmitted directly at its original frequency.
Suggest a strategy for the baseband signal to be transmitted over the 3G network.
[2 mark]
(b) Calculate the antenna length if half wave dipole is used.
[2 mark]

(c) If the signal is transmitted at 50W and the noise power is 2W, determine the channel
capacity. Assume the bandwidth is 200 kHz.
[2 mark]
(d) The signal travels along 100km distance with power loss of 0.2dB per kilometer.
Determine the received signal in dB and Watt.
[2 marks]
(e) Suggest a suitable technique to improve the channel capacity to achieve up to 5Mbps.
Justify your answer by calculations.

Question 2 [20 marks]

Frequency
fc = 1MHz

Figure 1: AM waveform frequency spectrum

a) Figure 1 shows the power spectrum of a DSBFC AM signal with BW = 200 kHz. Total
transmitted power is PTOTAL = 225 W with efficiency, E = 11.11%. Assume the resistance
is 1Ω.

(i) Determine the mathematical expression of the modulated wave.

[10 marks]

(ii) The system above is then modified to obtain an output with efficiency equal to
100%. Draw the transmitter block diagram to achieve this intended output. (Label
the component and indicate clearly the frequency spectrum at each stage).

[6 marks]

(iii) Calculate the percentage saving for power and bandwidth of this new setup.

[2 marks]

(iv) Determine the range of image frequency if the system using high side injection.

Question 3 [20 marks]

A message signal of 5cos2𝜋50kt is being frequency modulated with carrier signal of
10cos2𝜋 5𝑀𝑡. The modulated signal is being sent into a 8Ω antenna. Given the frequency
deviation sensitivity is 10kHz/V. Determine:

(a) Instantaneous frequency deviation.

[2 marks]
(b) Mathematical expression of the modulated signal
[2 marks]
(c) Maximum and minimum frequency deviation.
[2 marks]
(d) Modulation index
[1 marks]
(e) Draw the frequency spectrum and label all pertinent parameters.
[4 marks]
(f) Compare the percentage saving of bandwidth and total power between Bessel and
Carson’s approximations. Assume the total power is band limited with the bandwidth
approximations.
[7 marks]
(g) If the peak frequency deviation is increased until the modulated carrier power become
only 0.3025 Watt, explain what would happen to the modulation index and the bandwidth
of the FM wave. Justify your answer by calculations.
