1.a Consider Design of a Point-to-Point link connecting LANs in separate 1.5

) buildings across a freeway distance 0 .25 mile and Line of Sight (LOS)
communication for an Unlicensed spectrum.
What is the frequency range if the free space path loss is 68db?
b) Consider the parameters 3.5
hre = 2 m – receiver antenna’s height
hte = 100 m – transmitter antenna’s height
fc = 900 MHz – carrier frequency
The path loss exponent for this particular case is α = 3.18
If the maximum allowed path loss is 120 dB, what distance can the
signal travel for quick response to rural areas ?
2. The GSM system uses 950-967.1 MHz band for transmission. Each voice 5
channel and control channel occupies 750kHz and 50kHz respectively with
guard band of 100kHz where one control channel is after 10 voice channels
and one guard band is followed by each channel.
a) Show the configuration of voice and control channel with guard band
in frequency domain.
b) How many voice and control channels and guard bands are available
in the mentioned band?
Solution:
Total BW= (967.1-950)MHz=17.1 MHz=17100 KHz
1st 10 Voice channels=750×10 =7500 kHz
As GB is after every voice channel then
1st 10 GBs =50×10=500 kHz
As one control channel after 10 voice channels then
After 10 voice channels one control channel =100kHz
So, after 10 voice channels total bw is occupied = (7500+500+100) kHz=8100kHz
And after 20 voice channels total bw is occupied = 2×8100kHz =16200 kHz
Rest bw = (17100-16200)kHz=900 kHz. So one more voice channel and guard band.
