Q.1 Show that in a two-ray ground reflected model, the path difference between the direct
and reflected wave Δ = 2hthr/d. [5]
Q.2 What are the three basic propagation mechanisms which impact propagation in a
mobile communication system ? Explain. [3]
Q.3 A mobile phone is located 5 km away from a base station. It uses a vertical λ/4 monopole
antenna with a gain of 2.55 dB to receive cellular radio signals. The carrier frequency used for
this system is 900 MHz.
(a) Find the length and effective aperture of the receiving antenna. [2]
(b) Using the 2-ray ground reflection model, find the time delay between direct and
reflected wave assuming the height of the transmitting antenna is 50 m, and the
receiving antenna is 1.5 m above ground. By how much distance is the reflected path
is greater than the direct path. [5]
Q.5 In a cellular system with total of 917 radio channels available for handling traffic. The area of
a cell is 4 km2 and the total area is 1400 km2 with cluster of 7. [7]
Q.6 What is handoff? The handoff threshold is slightly maintained above the minimum acceptable
signal level . Explain and give reason. [4]
