Wireless & Mobile Communications Questions and Answers Part-16

1. EIRP is abbreviated as __________
a) Effective isotropic radiated power
b) Effective isotropic radio power
c) Effective and immediate radiated power
d) Effective and immediate ratio of power

Answer: a
Explanation: EIRP stands for Effective Isotropic Radiated Power. It is the amount of power that a theoretical isotropic antenna would emit to produce the peak power density observed in the direction of maximum antenna gain. EIRP also takes into account the losses in transmission line and connectors and includes the gain of the antenna.

2. Path loss in free space model is defined as difference of ________
a) Effective transmitted power and gain
b) Effective received power and distance between T-R
c) Gain and received power
d) Effective transmitter power and receiver power

Answer: d
Explanation: I Path loss is defined as difference of effective transmitter power and receiver power. Free-space path loss is the loss in signal strength of an electromagnetic wave that would result from a line-of-sight path through free space, with no obstacles nearby to cause reflection or diffraction

3. Far field region is also known as _________
a) Near field region
b) Fraunhofer region
c) Erlang region
d) Fresnel region

Answer: b
Explanation:The far field is the region far from the antenna. In this region, the radiation pattern does not change shape with distance. Also, this region is dominated by radiated fields, with the E- and H-fields orthogonal to each other and the direction of propagation as with plane waves

4. Fraunhofer distance is given by _____
a) 2D2/λ
b) 2D/λ
c) D/λ
d) 2D/λ2

Answer: a
Explanation: Fraunhofer distance, also known as far field distance is inversely proportional to wavelength. It depends on the largest physical dimension of the antennal (D). This distance basically denotes the boundary between far field and near field region

5. Which of the following is called an ideal antenna?
a) Dipole antenna
b) Directional antenna
c) Isotropic antenna
d) Loop antenna

Answer: c
Explanation: Isotropic antenna is an ideal antenna that directs the power uniformly in all directions. It is a theoretical point source of electromagnetic. It is practically not possible. It is mainly used as a hypothetical antenna to measure the gain

6. Which of the following mechanism do not impact propagation in mobile communication system?
a) Reflection
b) Diffraction
c) Scattering
d) Refraction

Answer: d
Explanation: Reflection, diffraction and scattering are the three basic propagation mechanism which impact propagation in mobile communication system. Large scale propagation model and small scale fading and multipath propagation are described by the physics of reflection, diffraction and scattering

7. What is the dimension of object as compared to wavelength of propagating wave when reflection occurs?
a) Large
b) Small
c) Same
d) Very small

Answer: a
Explanation: Reflection occurs when a propagating electromagnetic wave impinges upon an object which has very large dimensions when compared to the wavelength of the propagation wave. Reflection occurs from the surface of the Earth and from buildings and walls.

8. When does the wave propagating from one medium to another gets partially reflection and partially transmitted?
a) Both mediums have same electrical properties
b) Both mediums have different electrical properties
c) Both mediums have same magnetic properties
d) Both mediums have different magnetic properties

Answer: b
Explanation: When a radio wave propagating in one medium impinges upon another medium having different electrical properties. The wave is partially reflected and partially transmitted.

9. What is the case of reflection, in course of second medium being a perfect dielectric?
a) Loss of energy during absorption
b) Total energy reflected back to first medium
c) No loss of energy in absorption
d) Total energy transmitted into second medium

Answer: c
Explanation: If the plane wave is incident on a perfect dielectric, part of the energy is transmitted into the second medium and part of the energy is reflected back into the first medium. There is no loss of energy in absorption.

10. What is the case of reflection, in course of second medium being a perfect conductor?
a) Loss of energy during absorption
b) Total energy reflected back to first medium
c) Partly transmission and reflection
d) Total energy transmitted into second medium

Answer: b
Explanation: If the second medium is perfect conductor, then all incident energy is reflected back into the second medium. There is no loss of energy during absorption.
