Q.2
A device is sending out data at the rate of 1000 bps.
a. How long does it take to send out 10 bits?
Ans:

For 10 bits=

10
s=0.01 s
1000

b. How long does it take to send out a single character of (8 bits)?

For 8 bits=

8
s=0.008 s
1000

c. How long does it take to send a file of 100,000 characters?

800000
s=800 s
1000

Q.3
A TV channel has a bandwidth of 6 MHz if we send a digital signal using
one channel, what are the data rates if we use one harmonic, three
harmonics, and five harmonics?

Ans: For the 1st harmonic

If we use the 5th harmonic

data rate = 2 6 =12mbps

2 6
=4 mbps
3

data rate =

2 6
5

= 2.4 Mbps = 2.4 mbps

Q.4
If the bandwidth of the channel is 5 Kbps, how long does it take to send
a frame of 100,000 bits out of this device?
Ans: Given
Bandwidth = 5Kbps & 100000 bits

Time=

cases?
a. Bandwidth: 20 KHz SNR

= 40

b. Bandwidth: 200 KHz SNR

Q.6
What is the total delay (latency) for a frame of size 5 million bits that is
being sent on a link with 10 routers each having a queuing time of 2 s
and a processing time of 1 s. The length of the link is 2000 Km. The
speed of lightinside the link is 2 108 m/s. The link has a bandwidth of
5 Mbps. Which component of the total delay is dominant? Which one is
negligible?
Ans:
Queuing Time = 10 2 us = 20s
Processing Time = 10 1s = 10 s
Transmission Time =

distance 2000 103

As we know that
Latency = Processing Time + Queuing Time + Transmission Time + Propagation Time
Latency = 10 s + 10 s + 1 s + 0.01 s = 1.010 s

Q.7 A periodic composite signal with a bandwidth of 2000 Hz is

Q.8
A signal travels from point A to point B. At point A, the signal power
is100 W. At point B, the power is 90 W. What is the attenuation in
decibels?
Ans:

90
100
The attenuation in dB = =0.457 dB
