Assignment

1. What do you mean by the frequency reuse technique?

2. Show that D=R(3N) where symbols have their usual meaning.
3. Show that SIR=1/6(Q) n; for Omni directional antennas, where the symbols have the usual
meaning.
4. Show that the larger the value of n, the less the effect of co-channel interference from the
2nd tier co-channel cells.
5. How to reduce the effect of adjacent channel interference?
6. Explain how the cell splitting and cell Sectorization helps to improve the system capacity
and coverage.
7. Discuss about the microcell zoning concept and its advantages
8. A cellular system having a seven cell cluster layout with Omni directional antenna has
been performing satisfactorily for a required signal to interference of 15dB. However due
to the need for increasing the number of available channels
a. 60o sectoring of the cells has been introduced.
b. 120 o sectoring of the cells has been introduced.
By what percentage can total number of channels N be increased assuming a path-loss
component=4?
9. With the help of illustrative figures explain how the handoff is carried out in cellular
systems. Also compare among the handoff strategies in 1g & 2g and cellular systems.

10. Locate the co-channel cells for the cell A, in the figure for 3 and 4 cell reuse patterns.
11. Discuss about the advantages of CDMA system.
12. Illustrate steps in Synchronous CDMA for two user system using code (1,-1) and (1, 1).
Send two different 4 bit numbers simultaneously to two specific users.
13. Briefly explain the Asynchronous CDMA technique.
14. What do you mean by orthogonal codes?

states of the shift registers.
16. With the help of a neat diagram, show the usage of orthogonal and PN codes in CDMA
during signal transmission and receiving.

following digital modulation techniques with relevant information about the symbols.
i. BASK
ii. BPSK
iii. QPSK
iv. 16-QAM
v. 8 PSK
vi. 16-PSK
24. Let in a binary modulation technique, S0 and S1 represent the symbols for logic 0 and logic
1. Where,
i. S0= 0 0t<1 sec
ii. S1= 10 cos (2ft) 0t<1 sec
Draw the constellation diagram & determine which bit is most likely to be transmitted.
i. r(t)=9 cos (2ft -135); 0t<1 sec
ii. r(t)=2 sin (2ft -135); 0t<1 sec
iii. r(t)= -5 cos2ft; 0t<1 sec
iv. r(t)= -5 sin2ft; 0t<1 sec
