(i) Calculate the overall noise factor, F of the receiver subsystems in Figure Q1.
(ii) Analyze and modify the new connection configuration to give better overall noise
factor. (Note: The position existing components/devices can be swapped if
needed and justify your selection)
(iii) Compare and discuss the results in (i) and (ii)
(iv) From (ii), determine the output signal power, So, input and output noise power
(N, and N.) in dBm, if the input signal power, S, is - 80 dBm and the system
bandwidth is 200 kHz.
