A 1.8 GHz radio wave propagates 16 km through the atmosphere, and then through two brick walls, each of
100 mm thickness. Rain leads to an atmospheric loss of 1.5 dB/ km, and brick attenuates at 40 dB/ m at this
frequency .Calculate the total power loss in dB over this path that is due to attenuation by the atmosphere
and by the wall. (Ignore the inverse square law.)

Does the way of calculating the number of symbols described above preserve the relationship given earlier
that 2(number of bits) = number of symbols? You can use the system in figure 66 to check.
