(1) The Ku band in satellite communication uses the following bandwidth:

(A) 15 MHz (B) 70 MHz (C) 350 MHz (D) 500 MHz (E) 3.5 GHz
The Ku bandwidth is equivalent is 500 MHZ

(2) The ratio of the downstream vs the upstream frequency bands in Digital
Subscriber Line is:
(A) 11.78 (B) 0.085 (C) 966 (D) 82 (E) none of the above

(3) The IEEE 802.11n devices use the following secure communication
technology:
(A) FHSS (B) DSSS (C) FHSS & DSSS (D) OFDM (E) ASK
The IEEE 802.11n devices use OFDM

(4) What happens with the path loss in Okumura/Hata model if we decrease
the carrier frequency?
(A) decrease (B) increase (C) no change (D) cannot be determined (E) none
A decrease in the carrier frequency results in the decrease in the path loss
(5) What is the frequency used in the 80th channel of the Bluetooth
technology?
(A) 2481 (B) 2480 (C) 2479 (D) 2482 (E) not available
The Bluetooth channels are divided into 79 channels therefore the 80th
channel is not available.

(8) Calculate the maximum number of devices which can be connected
using 5 piconets. Assume that each piconet could only allow up to 5 devices.
Explain your answer.

If each piconet can allow only 5 devices

Then for 5 piconets ‘
¿ 5∗5=25
Answer: __25_________ devices

(9) If the reuse factor of hexagonal cells is 11, calculate the distance
between center cell (D) in term of the radius of the cell (R). You must
express your answer (D) in term of R, for example: D = 2 R
The reuse factor denoted by N=11
The formula;
D
=√ 3 N
R
Reuse factor is 11

Answer: D = __11____ R

(10) Calculate the period of a satellite located approximately 12750 km

above the Earth. Assume the radius of the Earth is 6378 km. Give your
answer in hour
The formula for the computation of the question follows the Kepler’s law
and can be written as;
1.5
T =C R
Where T is period and C is a constant whose value is 0.01
Substituting the values in the equation;
T =0.01∗( 12750+6378 )1.5

T =26454.7916 seconds
1 hour=3600 sec

26454.7916
T=
3600

Answer: __7.3_____ hour

(11) Calculate the location (measured from the surface of the Earth) of an
object which rotates the Earth with the period 30 hours. Give your answer in
km (kilometers)

T=30 hours
Radius of the earth is 6378 km

(12) Using the Okumura/Hata formula, calculate the predicted path loss (in
dB) in an open environment near a big city if fc = 800 MHz, ht = 40 m, hr =
2 m and d = 10 km
The formula to be used for the computations is;
A ( h r ) ( dB )=3.2 [ log ( 11.75 h r ) ] 2−4.97

2
A ( h r ) ( dB )=3.2 [ log ( 11.75∗2 ) ] −4.97
A ( h r ) ( dB )=1.045
L ( dB )=69.55+ 26.16 log fc−13.82 log h t− A ( h r ) + ( 44.9−6.55 log h t ) log d
Substitute the values in the equation such that
L ( dB )=69.55+ 26.16 log 800−13.82 log 40−1.045+ ( 4.49−6.55 log 40 ) log 10

Answer: __116.305______ dB

(13) Redo problem (12) for the case of a suburban environment near a
medium city

A ( h r ) ( dB )= (1.1 log fc−0.7 ) h r −1.56 log fc + 0.8

Substitute the values in the equation
A ( h r ) ( dB )= (1.1 log 800−0.7 ) 2−1.56 log800+ 0.8
A ( hr ) dB=1.257

L ( dB )=69.55+ 26.16 log 800−13.82 log 40−1.257+ ( 4.49−6.55 log 40 ) log 10
