Question
d)
A radio antenna pointed in a direction of the sky has a noise temperature
of Ts =
50 K. The antenna feeds the received signal to a pre-amplifier
operating at an ambient temperature of To 290 K. The pre-amplifier has
a gain of 35 dB over a bandwidth of 10 MHz and a noise figure of 2 dB.
-
(i)
Determine the noise power at the output of the preamplifier in dBm.
(ii)
Determine the signal power Pr (in dBm) at the antenna terminals
such that the signal-to-noise ratio is 50 dB at the output of the
pre-amplifier.
You may take the Boltzmann constant as k 1.38 × 10-23 JK-1.
