    Problem Set for Midterm

    1. If the MTBF of a communication circuit is 20, 000 hours and its MTTR
    is 3 hours, what is the availability?

    2. A long distance telephone company employs five microwave radio


    hops over a single route to link two important cities. If each hop has an
    MTBF of 10, 000 hours and an MTTR of 3 hours, what is the outage
    ratio of the entire system and the reliability of the system?

    3. Determine the fade margin for a 60-km microwave hop. The RF carrier
    is 8 GHz, the terrain is very smooth and dry and the reliability objective
    is 99.95%.

    4. Given a 25-mile path with average terrain but with some roughness in
    an inland temperature climate, and a link operating at a frequency of
    6.7 GHz with a desired propagation reliability of 99.95%, what fade
    margin should be assigned to the link?

    5. A point-to-point communications system operating at 7.5 GHz uses a


    transmitter with an output power of 0 dBW and a receiver with a Noise
    Figure of 5 dB at a bandwidth of 5 MHz. if the target reliability for the
    system is 99.995%, determine the necessary antenna diameter needed
    for a 61.67 km link considering a transmission line and connector loss
    of 3 dB per site.

    6. A microwave communications system is being designed to operate at


    7 GHz with a transmitter output power of 1 W and a receiver Practical
    Noise Threshold of – 127 dBm. The link uses four feet parabolic dishes
    with 2 dB transmission line and connector loss per site. An
    insurmountable obstruction was sighted between the sites and the
    only possible repeater site is located 15 km from site A and 10 km from
    site B.
    If the minimum required reliability for the system is 99.95%, kindly help
    the designer to decide on whether to use a back-to-back passive
    repeater with 4 feet parabolic dishes and transmission line and
    connector loss of 1 dB or an 8’x12’ flat billboard reflector with an
    included angle of 1000. Support your answer with solutions and rational
    statements.

    7. A point-to-point microwave system is to be established between two


    sites that is 30 miles apart. The system is operating at 5.9452 GHz and
    is capable of carrying 960 voice channels and to meet a propagation
    reliability of 99.9%. Consider a 52.2 kHz bandwidth per voice channel. A
    waveguide length of 350 ft at both sites is needed. The microwave radio
    being considered has a transmitter output power of 562 mW with a
    receiver noise figure of 12 dB. Consider a connector loss of 1.5 dB per
    site and waveguide attenuation of 1.4 dB per 100 ft. Find the size of the
    antenna that will meet the required reliability.

    8. Consider a 30-mile path with average terrain, with some roughness, in


    an inland temperature climate, operating at a frequency of 6.7 GHz with
    fade margin of 40 dB. Compute for the unavailability and reliability of
    for:

    a. Non-diversity path
    b. Path with 2% frequency diversity
    c. Path with 40-foot vertical space diversity

    9. Compute for the reliability for (a) non-diversity path (b) path with 5%
    frequency diversity (c) path with 28-foor vertical space diversity of a
    microwave communication system with a 35-km path having a very
    smooth terrain in a hot and humid climate operating at 7 GHz with fade
    margin of 35 dB.
    10.In a one-hop, full-duplex microwave radio system, frequency diversity
    arrangement, determine:

    a. How many transmitters are used?


    b. How many receivers are used?
    c. How many antennas are used?
    d. How many frequencies are required?

    11. In a one-hop, full-duplex microwave radio system, space diversity


    arrangement, determine:

    a. How many transmitters are used?


    b. How many receivers are used?
    c. How many antennas are used?
    d. How many frequencies are required?
