Problems

1. A GSM receiver senses a narrowband (modulated) signal having a level of -100 dBm. If the front-end
amplifier provides a voltage gain of 15 dB, calculate the Vpp at the output of the amplifier.
2. A Bluetooth receiver employs a low-noise amplifier having a gain of 10 and an input impedance of
50. The LNA senses a desired signal level of -80 dBm at 2.410 GHz and two interferers of equal levels at
2.420 GHz and 2.430 GHz. For simplicity, assume the LNA drives a 50- load.
(a) Determine the value of that yields a of -30 dBm.
(b) If each interferer is 10 dB below a , determine the corruption experienced by the desired signal
at the LNA output.
3. A low-noise amplifier with Gain = 10 dB, senses a -60-dBm signal at 1.2 GHz and two -20-dBm
interferers at 1.22 GHz and 1.24 GHz.
a) What happen?
b) If IIP3 = 10 dBm, what is the IMD3 products? How much it is lower than the signal. For simplicity,
assume 50- interfaces at the input and output.
4. Design four different L-type matching networks to match the load Z
LOAD
= 30 to a 50- transmission
line.
5. Design two T-type and Pi-type matching networks that transform a ZL = 100 Ohm load to an Zin = 30
input impedance at a nodal quality factor of Qn = 4. The matching should be achieved at f0 = 600 MHz.
6. (a) Show that the noise figure for a three-stage amplifier is given by

where , and are the noise figures of the first, second, and third stages; and and are the
available power gains of the first and second stages.
(b) Two cascade amplifiers have noise figures of = 1 dB and = 3 dB, and a gain of = 10dB and
= 16 dB. Calculate the overall noise figure.
