Q.N0.1 [CLO-1(C1)(PLO-1)]
[04 Marks]
(a) Different antenna, such as yagi, horn, and cellular antennas, etc. has different merits. Research these
technologies in details and pay specific attention to how they are used as well their strengths and
weakness. State an opinion regarding which antenna types will become the dominant players in the future
of medium- and long-distance wireless links.

(b) A local engineering group ask you to present your finding of the most recent advanced wireless
technologies. Research any THREE different wireless network protocols in details and describe how they
are used as well their strengths and weakness. What security challenges they are facing? Provide a report
of your opinion
Q.N0.2 [CLO-2(C4)(PLO-2)]
[06 Marks]

(a) If a total of 33 MHz of bandwidth is allocated to a particular FDD cellulartelephone

system which uses two 25 KHz simples channels to provide full duplex voice and
control channels, Measure the number of channels available per cell if a system uses:
(1) four-cell reuse,
(2) seven-cell reuse, and
(3) 12-cell reuse.
If 1 MHz of the allocated spectrum is dedicated to control channels, determine
An equitable distribution of control channels and voice channels in each cell for each of
the three systems.

(b) If a signal-to-interference ratio of 15 dB is required for satisfactory forward channel

performance of a cellular system, analyze the frequency reuse factor and cluster size
that should be used for maximum capacity if the path loss exponent is (a) n = 4, (b) n =
3? Assume that there are six co channel cells in the first tier, and all of them are at the
same distance from the mobile. Use suitable approximations.

(c) Cellular system has 32 cells, each cell has 1.6 Km radius and the system reuse factor
of 7. The system is to support 336 traffic channels in total. Examine the total
geographical area covered, the number of traffic channels per cell and total number of
simultaneous cells supported by this system.
