ECE 4710: Lecture #39 1
Summary
Thus far we have: Developed link formula to predict PRX for system and link
parameters (PT , GAT , d, etc.) Si = PRX
Described basic properties of thermal noise Characterized noise performance of individual devices
» F and Te
» Active and passive/lossy
Characterized effective antenna temperature Ta
» Allows us to estimate input noise power : Ni = k Ta B
One more step to complete link budget analysis» What is S/N ratio at receiver output (S/N )o = ???
ECE 4710: Lecture #39 2
S / N @ Rx Output
Output S / N normally specified at input to detector Baseband BER vs. Eb / No results rely upon S / N at input to
detector/demodulator Output S / N sometimes called Carrier to Noise (C/N) ratio
» Carrier implies RF/IF prior to demodulation to baseband
Must perform noise analysis for entire RF / IF system Develop system noise characteristics
» Tes and Fs
Sole purpose is to accurately estimate No
So is simply Si + device gains device losses

Key Observation: if first stage in cascaded system has high gain then F1 will dominate overall system noise figure
Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) Special class of RF amplifiers with high gain and low
noise figure Used to ensure that system noise figure will be small so
that overall S / N performance in Rx is very good

For low noise performance amplification is required at or near antenna before the signal is passed via
transmission line to rest of system

System Temperature
For cascaded linear devices the effective system temperature can be shown to be
Same observation as Fs low noise (small Te1) and high gain first stage mean overall system noise performance is very good

System Output Noise
System output noise formula :
Ideal case is Tes = 0 output noise is only from amplified input noise
For Tes >> Ta system noise dominates Rx
» Any improvement in Fs or Tes has significant impact on overall
system noise performance
For Ta Tes input noise & system noise ~ same
» Largest possible improvement in S / N is only factor of 2 3 dB!!
For Ta >> Tes input noise dominates Rx» LNA should NOT be used no benefit

Link Budget Equation
All communication systems designed for certain baseband S / N performance
Analog TV S / N = 40-45 dB Landline Voice Telephony S / N = 30-45 dB Analog Cellular S / N = 15-20 dB Digital Cellular S / N = 7-10 dB for BER < 10-3
Satellite Digital TV S / N = 13-16 dB for BER < 10-9
In digital communications desired BER determines required Eb / No
ECE 4710: Lecture #39 15
Link Budget Equation
In communication system design System analysis works backward from required (S / N)o
Link analysis works forward from transmitter and PTx
Two meet at Rx front end PRx
What is the minimum detectable signal, Smin, at Rx front end (antenna output) that is needed to produce required output signal to noise ratio?
