For binary signals (**two** voltage levels) `C = 2B` For multilevel signaling `C = 2Blog_2(M)` `M = number of discrete signal or voltage levels.` ## Signal-to-Noise Ratio > Ratio of the power in a signal to the power contained in the noise that is present at a particular point in the transmission. > A high SNR means a high-quality signal, lower number of required intermediate repeaters. > `(SNR)_db = 10log(signal power/noise power)` ## Shannon Capacity for noisy channel > Represents theoretical maximum that can be achieved for a noisy channel, we can use Shannon capacity. > Shannon Capacity uses **SNR**, not ~~(SNR)_db~~ > `Capacity = bandwidth * log_2(1+SNR)` `C = Blog_2(1+SNR)` ## Effective Area and Antenna Gain ![](https://i.imgur.com/e0aLTnz.png) ## Antenna Gain ``` G = 4πAe / λ^2 , λ = c/f G = antenna gain Ae = effective area f = carrier frequency c = speed of light (3*10^8 m/s) λ = carrier wavelength ``` ## Line-of-Sight Equations ``` d = 3.57(√Kh_1 + √Kh_2) h_1 = height of antenna one h_2 = height of antenna two K = adjustment factor to account for refraction, rule of thumb K = 4/3 = 1.3 ``` ## Free space loss equation ``` Pt/Pr = (4πd)^2 / λ^2 , λ = c/f Pt = siangl power at the transmitting antnna Pr = siangl power at the receiving antnna λ = carrier wavelength (m) f = carrier frequency d = propagatin distance between antennas (m) c = speed of light (3*10^8 m/s) ``` ``` Pt/Pr = (4πd)^2 / GrGtλ^2 = (λd)^2 / ArAt, λ = c/f Gt = gain of the transmitting antenna Gr = gain of the receiving antenna At = effective area of the transmitting antenna Ar = effective area of the receiving antenna ``` ## Thermal Noise > Amount of thermal noise to be found in a bandwidth B=1Hz in any device or conductor is: > ``` N_0 = kT (W/Hz) N_0 = noise power density in watts per 1Hz of bandwidth k = Boltzmann's constant = 1.3803 * 10^-23 J/K T = temperature, in kelvins (absolute temperature) ``` ## Learning Decibels (dB) ### Basics `1 W = 1000 mW = 1000000 (10^6) μW = 0.001 kW` ``` dB value = 10log(Po/Pi) Pi = input power Po = output power ``` ### dBm and dBW ``` Value (dBm) = 10log(P/(1mW)) Value (dBW) = 10log(P/(1W)) ``` ### dBi and dBd > dBi is used to quantify the gain of an antenna. It stands for dB above (or below) an isotropic. > dBd ### EIRP > Effective Isotropically Radiated Power > ``` EIRP(dBW) = Pt + L + antenna gain Pt: Output power of the transmitter in dBm or dBW L: line loss in dB antenna gain: dB ``` ## Pulse Code Modulation ``` SNR_db = 20log(2^n) + 1.76dB = 6.02n + 1.76dB ``` ## Traffic Intensity ``` A = λh λ = mean rate of calls attempted per unit time h = mean holding time per successful call A = average number of calls arriving during average holding period, for normalized λ. Measured in dimension-less unit "Erlang" ```
