1. Draw the block diagram of a communication system.

In your own words, describe the

function/purpose of each element.

2. Differentiate the following in less no than 3 sentences and create your OWN problem with solutions.

 What is Frequency?
 What is Wavelength?
 What is Gain and Attenuation?

The rate at which something occurs or is repeated during a specific time period or in a specific
sample is known as its frequency. The distance between waves' crests, particularly those in sound
waves or electromagnetic waves, is known as their wavelength. Before any processing, gain
determines how loud something is, while attenuation refers to a loss or reduction of intensity or
energy.

Wavelength:

Calculate the wavelength of a light that has a frequency of 2.5x10^12 hz.

λ = c/f

λ = 3x10^8m/s / 2.5x10^12
 λ = 1.2x10^20 m

Frequency:

Calculate the frequency of a wave with the time of 200 minutes

f = 1/T

f = 1 / 200 (convert minutes to seconds then turns 200 to 12,000 seconds)

f = 1 / 12,000

f = 8.3hz

Gain:

Solve the following:

1. Voltage input of 45 and Voltage output of 13

dB = 20log V out/ V in

dB = 20log (13/45)

dB = 10.78 or 10.8

2. Gain input of 15 and Gain output of 17

dB = 20log I out/ I in

dB = 20log (17/15)

dB = 1.08

3. Power output of 20 and Power input of 22

dB = 10log P out/ P in

dB = 10log (20/22)

dB = -0.41
