Question: A M = 1 6 square QAM communication system operates at a center frequency of 8 0 0 MHz and has a symbol rate of

A M =16 square QAM communication system operates at a center frequency of 800 MHz and has a symbol rate of 1.25 MSymbols/sec. Assume the system uses SRRC pulse shaping with an =0.25. The system must achieve a required probability of bit error of 6105.(a) Calculate the minimum C/N0 ratio to achieve the required probability of error. (b) Although we didnt cover this in class, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is defined as the power ratio, C/N , where N = N0B, where B is the bandwidth of the signal. Calculate the minimum required SNR in dB from your answer to (a).(c) Find the range of this system. Assume the transmit power PT =0.01 W (that is,10 mW), the antenna gains are GT (dB)= GR(dB)=2 dB, and that the receiver has a Teq =1200 K. Assume the path loss exponent model for received power with np =3.0 and reference distance R0=1 m. Caution: Dont mistake linear units and dB know which you are given and which you need to use.
