7. A vehicle receives a 900 MHz transmission while traveling at a constant velocity

for 10s. The average fade duration for a signal level 10dB below the rms level is
1m. How far does the vehicle travel during the 10s interval? How many fades
does the signal undergo at the rms threshold level during a 10s interval? Assume
that the local mean remains constant during the travel.
