1. A wireless receiver with an effective diameter of 250 cm is receiving signals

at 20 GHz from a transmitter that transmits at a power of 30 mW and a gain
of 30 dB.
(a) What is the gain of the receiver antenna?

Diameter D=250 cm=2.5 m , f =20GHz , pt =30 mW

G t =30 dB=10 log 10 x , x=1000(antenna gain)

2. The transmission power is 40 W, under a free-space propagation model,
(a) What is the transmission power in unit of dBm?

40 w=40∗1000=40000mW

pt =10 log 40000=¿ 46.02 dBm ¿

(b) The receiver is in a distance of 1000 m; what is the received power,

assuming that the carrier frequency fc = 900 MHz and Gt = Gr = 1 dB?

pt =40 W , d=1000 m , f c =900 MHz ,G t =G r =1 dBm=1.25 mW

3. A BS has a 900 MHz transmitter and a vehicle is moving at the speed of 50

mph. Compute the received carrier frequency if the vehicle is moving
