(b) An antenna is connected to an amplifier through a coaxial cable. The system operates at 300
K . The coaxial cable has an attenuation of 2 dB . The amplifier has a gain of \(15\mathrm{~dB},\mathrm{~s}\) bandwidth of 100 MHz , and equivalent noise temperature of 150 K . Determine the noise figure of the coaxial cable - amplifier cascade. To enhance detection capability, it is decided to install a preamplifier at the antenna terminal before the coaxial cable. The pre-amplifier has an equivalent noise temperature of 150 K , gain of 20 dB , and a bandwidth of 100 MHz . Determine the noise figure of the new system and verify whether signal detection will improve. [8][CO03][BTL 3]
