TUTORIAL
1. What is the difference between mobile path and radio path?
2.
Calculate the fading frequency, when one incoming wave is perpendicular to the vehicle
motion.
3.
What do you mean by signal fading? Define long-term fading and short term fading.
4.
What are the causes of long-term fading and short term fading?
5.
A mobile unit is moving with a velocity V in absence of any scatterer, Derive the expression for
Doppler frequency and received frequency.
6.
A mobile unit is moving with a velocity V along the road between the transmitter and scatterer.
Show that the received signal at the mobile unit form a standing wave.
7.
A mobile unit is receiving two incoming reflected waves of equal amplitudes at angles = 00
and = 10. Derive the expression for fading frequency.
8.
Obtain the general formula for fading frequency for two incoming waves at angles 1 and 2 w.r.t.
the motion of the vehicle.
9.
Explain the terms: (a) Time selective fading (b) frequency selective fading.
20. Derive an expression for false- alarm rate in the case of a DPSK signal.
21. Explain why a vertically polarized wave is preferred over a Horizontal polarized wave for a
mobile radio communication.

of major combining techniques used in mobile communication.
24. Establish a relation between false-alarm-rate and word-error-rate.
25. Why is the antenna separation at the base station wider when the antenna height is higher?
