Question 1Question 1 (10 marks)
The mobile radio base station and mobile station specified in Table.1 below are used in a 1000 MHz cellular network operating in a large city.
Using Hata’s model, calculate the following:
⦁ The maximum cell radius for forward link (BS-MS) and zero fade margin (i.e. Rx threshold = -112 dBm).
⦁ The maximum cell radius for the reverse link (MS-BS) for a zero fade margin (i.e. Rx threshold =
-115 dBm).
⦁ Having calculated the forward and reverse links, is the link balanced? (justify yes or no)
⦁ A fade margin must be allowed for proper operation. State the reason for that.
⦁ What is the maximum cell radius of the forward and reverse link if a fade margin of 10 dB applies?

Question 2 (5 Marks)
Assume a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) are positioned as Figure.1.
⦁ Calculate the path loss and the power receive signal with a unit gain.
⦁ Re-calculate the power received if the antennas with gain are now transmit at 1dBi and receive at 2dBi
Figure. 1
Question 3 (5 Marks)
A cellular mobile phone is generally only 2m above the ground, and an average distance of 5km from the base station and must maintain a path loss of 150dB or less. What is the height of the base station antenna? Assume free space conditions.
