TUTORIAL 1

GROUP 1

QUESTION 1
1.What is the purpose of communication system?

The purpose of communication system is to transfer information from one place to another.

QUESTION 2
Sketch the model of communication system and briefly explain the components of the system?

Amplifier Modulator Sender

Channel / transmission medium

Amplifier Demodulator Recipient

Noise

No. Communication system component

Explanations

1. Transmission 2. Modulator

Physical link between the communication parties channel. Transform the source signal so that it is physically suitable for transmission channel. Introduces modulator signal into the channel. Detects the signal on the channel and usually amplifies it. Receives the signal source signal from the received signal and passes it to the recipient.

3. Transmitter 4. Receiver 5. Demodulator

QUESTION 3
Convert the following absolute power ratios to dB a. 15 Apr = 15 Ap(dB) = 10 log (Apr) = 10 log 15 = 12 dB b. 3000 Apr = 3000 Ap(dB) = 10 log (Apr) = 10 log 3000 = 35 dB

c. 0.05 Apr = 0.05 Ap(dB) = 10 log (Apr) = 10 log 0.05 = -13 dB

d. 0.008 Apr = 0.008 Ap(dB) = 10 log (Apr) = 10 log 0.008 = -21 dB

QUESTION 4
Convert the following decibel values to absolute ratios a. 2dB 2dB = 10 log Apr Apr = 10 2/10 = 1.58 b. 27dB 27dB = 10 log Apr Apr = 10 27/10 = 501.2

c. -10dB -10dB = 10 log Apr Apr = 10 -10/10 = 0.1

d. -34dB -34dB = 10 log Apr Apr = 10 -34/10 = 0.98
