Part A - (10 * 2 = 20 marks)
1. What is flat fading?
2. Define signal to self-interference ratio.
3. Distinguish between narrowband and wideband systems.
4. What is Link Budget calculation?
5. Find the 3-dB bandwidth for a Gaussian low pass filter used to produce 0.25 GMSK with a channel data rate of Rb = 270kbps. What is the 90% power bandwidth in the RF channel?
6. What is slotted frequency hopping?
7. Assume four branch diversity is used, where each branch receives an independent Rayleigh fading signal. If the average SNR is 20 dB, determine the probability that the SNR will drop below 10 dB. Compare this with the case of a single receiver without diversity.
8. Define coding gain.
9. What is duplexing?
