8. How error probability is computed for fading channel in SISO system?
9. Define Pre-coding.
10. How beam forming can improve performance of communication system?

PART B — (5 × 13 = 65 marks)
11. (a) Derive the two ray ground model expressing the relationship between
received power and path loss component.
Or
(b) (i) Find the Fraunhofer distance for an antenna with maximum
dimension of 1 m and operating frequency of 60 GHz. If antennas
have unity gain, calculate the path loss. (3)
(ii) If a transmitter produces 50W of power, express the transmit power
in units of dBm, dBW. If 50 W is applied to a unity gain antenna
with a 900 MHz carrier frequency, find the received power in dBm
at a free space distance of 100m from the antenna. What is Pr
(10 Km)? Assume unity gain for the receiver antenna. (10)
