Transmission-and-Propagation-Delay

Question 1
Consider a 100 Mbps link between an earth station (sender) and a satellite (receiver) at an altitude of 2100 km. The signal propagates at a speed of 3x10 8 m/s. The time taken (in milliseconds, rounded off to two decimal places) for the receiver to completely receive a packet of 1000 bytes transmitted by the sender is_________
A
7.08 ms

Question 1 Explanation: 
The time required for the receiver to receive the packet is transmission time + propagation time i.e. Tt +Tp
Tt = L / B => 1000 x 8 bits / 10^8 bps = 0.08 ms
Tp = D / V => 2100 x 1000 m / 3 x10^8 ms = 7 ms
Therefore, Total time = 7.08 ms
Question 2
What is the bandwidth of the signal that ranges from 40 kHz to 4 MHz
A
36 MHz
B
360 kHz
C
3.96 MHz
D
396 kHz

Question 2 Explanation: 
Let fh is the highest frequency and fi is the lowest frequency.
Bandwidth = fh – fi = 4000 - 40 KHz = 3960 KHz = 3.96 MHz
Question 3
Assume that each character code consists of 8 bits. The number of characters that can be transmitted per second through an asynchronous serial line at 2400 baud rate, and with two stop bits, is:
A
109
B
216
C
218
D
219

Question 3 Explanation: 
Here, the baud value represents the serial port is capable of transferring a maximum number of bits per second.
Given 2400 baud value,
Sending maximum of 2400 bits per second with serial port .
Total Data To send = 1 bit(start) + 8 bits(char size) + 2 bits(Stop) = 11 bits.
Number of 8-bit characters that can be transmitted per second = 2400/11 = 218.18
The effective number of characters transmitted = 218 So, the correct option is (C).
