PHE-16 : COMMUNICATION PHYSICS

Time : 2 hours Maximum Marks.: 50

Note : All questions are compulsory. However, internal

choices are provided. Use of log tables and
non-programmable calculators is allowed. Symbols
have their usual meanings.

1. Attempt any five parts : 5x2=10

(a) Define noise figure in dB. An amplifier has

— power ratio of 10 at the input and 1 at
N
the output. Find the noise figure of this
amplifier.
(b) Draw the radiation patterns of a short dipole
antenna in XZ and XY planes.
.

(c) State the functions of the Mobile Switching

Centre (MSC) in a cellular mobile system.
PHE-16 1 P.T.O.
 (d) Draw the basic configuration of a typical
optical fibre communication system.

(e) How is an AM signal recovered at the

receiver by using an envelope detector ?

(f) If the input optical power in a 10 km long

optical fibre is 100 [LW and the output is
111W, calculate the attenuation in dB/km.

(g) What is the difference between client-server

and peer-to-peer architectures in network ?

(h) Write any four uses of WAP.

2. Attempt any two parts : 2x5=10

(a) Discuss any five hardware techniques used

for noise reduction in a communication
system. 5

(b) Derive the expression for the characteristic

impedance of a transmission line. 5

(c) In the presence of an electric field of

frequency w= 5 x 10 12 rad s-1 inside a
conductor, the induced current density is 7E/4
out of phase with the electric field. Estimate
the collision frequency. 5

the help of a suitable diagram. Describe the
method of generating PPM signal using
PAM signal. 2+3

junction and show how it acts as a tunnel
diode. Draw I — V characteristics indicating
the NDR region. 3+2

(c) Explain structure and operation of a

wave guide isolator. 5

PHE-16 3 P.T.O.
5. Attempt any two parts : 2x5=10

(a) Explain with the help of a schematic

diagram the typical configuration for
Internet access via ISP.

(b) Describe the two network security

techniques and state the difference between
these two levels of security.

(c) Compare the merits and demerits of circuit

switching and packet switching. 5
