(OR) d
a) Assume six devices are arranged in a mesh topology. How many cables are
needed? How many ports are needed for each device?
CO3
b) A signal has passed through three cascaded amplifiers, each with a 4 dB gain.
2 What is the total gain? How much is the signal amplified? 10M
c) We have an available bandwidth of 100 kHz which spans from 200 to 300 kHz.
What should be the carrier frequency and the bit rate if we modulated our data by
using FSK with d = 1?

a) Calculate attenuation (loss of power) if a signal travels through a transmission

medium and its power is reduced to one-half.
b) If the power of a signal is 10mW and the power of the noise is 1µW; what are
3 10M
the values of SNR and SNRdB?
c) What is the propagation time if the distance between the two points is 12,000
km? Assume the propagation speed to be 2.4 x 108 m/s in cable.
(OR)
CO3
a) We need to send 250kbps over a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 20kHz.
How many signal levels do we need?
b) An analog signal has a bit rate of 8000 bps and a baud rate of 1000 baud. How
4 many data elements are carried by each signal element? How many signal 10M
elements do we need?
c) A signal is carrying data in which four data elements is encoded as one signal
elements. If the bit rate is 100kbps, what is the average value of the baud rate if c
is between 0 and 1?
