Quiz#2

1. What does a Low noise amplifier do? If input power of 10dBm is fed to it and gain is 15dB,
find output power.
2. If RF signal is 1200 MHz, IF is 350MH. Calculate the LO frequency if high side injection is
used. Also find the location of image frequency.
3. A receiver has threshold of 50dBm and an attenuator of 10dB and 15dB are applied in it.
If a strong signal of 58dBm is received, then what will be the attenuated value of received
signal?
4. A signal is 5dBm strong om spectrum analyzer and spurious free dynamic range is
50dBm. Calculate the level of highest spur.
5. Define following terms
ii) Adjacent channel rejection ratio
iii) Modulation
iv) Phase noise
v) VSWR
6. Calculate the sensitivity of system if noise floor is -90 dBm, noise figure=5 dB and SNR=7
dB.
7. If SDR has frequency accuracy of 0.001 ppm, calculate the frequency offset at 1200 MHz.
8. Write down the input and output dynamic range of BLK-III.
9. Calculate the cascaded gain of chain if attenuator=10 dB, IL of BPFs=2 dB, Gain of
LNA=30 dB.

10. Convert the following:

a. 48 dBm to Watts
b. -20 dBm to Watt
c. 170 Watts to dBm
d. 20 watts to dBm
