What is the output SNR if the input signal level is -85 dBm? Output noise level is = KTBxNF=-88.4dBm Output SNR = 3.4dB 3.
A receiver system with 50dB gain is tested with a two-tone signal at its input, and the intermodulation products at the output are 65dB lower than main tones (which is at 0dBm). Calculate the input referred IIP3 of this receiver. OIP3=Pout_Main + Delta/2=0dBm+(65/2) =32.5 IIP3=OIP3-Gain=32.5-50=-17.5 4.
A receiver system consists of two components (G1=15dB, IIP31=0dBm) and (G2=0dB, IIP32=0dBm) a.
Calculate the OIP3in dB? OIP3_1 = IIP3_1 + G1 = 15dBm = 31.6mW
ECE 424 (524) - Radio System Design Homework 8 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering NC State University OIP3_2 = IIP3_2 + G2 = 0dBm = 1mW OIP3_Total = ((1/1) + (1/(31.6*1)))^-1 = 0.969mW = -0.135 dBm b.
The gain G2 is increased by 7dB. Calculate the new OIP3? OIP3_1 = IIP3_1 + G1 = 15dBm = 31.6mW OIP3_2 = IIP3_2 + G2 = 7dBm = 5mW OIP3_Total = ((1/5) + (1/(31.6*5)))^-1 = 4.84 mW = 6.85 dBm c.
How much has the IP3 increased with the new G2 gain? 6.85dBm –
(-0.135dBm) ≈ 7dBm

You are designing an RX system that has a noise figure of 10dB and 33dB gain. The initial system has a channel bandwidth of 100MHz, temperature of 300K and SNR of 10dB at the output is required. Answer the following questions. a.
What is the minimum detectable input signal power? (in dBm) KTB is in Watts, it is multiplied by 1000 to convert to mW, So Noise level = KTB*NF*1000 Noise level = KT*B*1000xNF=4.14e-21*100e6*1e3*10^1= 4.14E-9 or-83.83 dBm Pmin=Noise+SNR Pmin=-83.83+10=-73.83 dBm b.
You are assigned to decrease minimum detectable input signal power and you have two options: 1) System cooling on the receiver to have the temperature be 100K or 2) Decrease the operation bandwidth to 1Mhz. What would be the minimum detectable input signal for these changes? 1)
Noise level = K (100) *B*1000xNF=1.38e-21*100e6*1e3*10^1=4.14E-9 or-88.6 dBm Pmin=Noise+SNR Pmin=-88.6 +10=-78.6 dBm 2)
Noise level = KT*B*1000xNF=4.14e-21*1e6*1e3*10^1= 4.14E-11 or -103.8 dBm Pmin=Noise+SNR Pmin=-103.8 +10=-93.83 dBm

What is the option that you would pick to meet the customers’ requirements?
The best decision would be to drop the bandwidth of the receiver. This will meet the customer requirements and can be achieved by modifying the circuit opposed to adding additional components to provide the cooling. Adding in the cooling will also increase the cost of operation of the receiver.

Modify this circuit to extend the upper frequency limit to greater than 15 MHz. You may change the
topology (i.e. configuration), but not the power supply voltage or collector bias current. The circuit
voltage gain must be 46dB +/- 1 dB. Provide simulation results to show AC frequency responses of
both circuits on the same plot, and annotate the 3dB upper frequency limit on both traces. Use
typical ẞ values from the data sheet for the simulation. You may assume that 1% resistors are
available in values below 100. The circuit must adhere to Standard Bias techniques.
