Propagation and Antenna Theory
[True/False] In the radio propagation, Fast Fading (Shadow Fading) is in normal distribution, while
Slow Fading (Rayleigh Fading) is in Rayleigh distribution. (false)
True False

[True/False] Doppler Effect has great impact on the narrow-band radio system but less on the broad-
band radio system (true)
True False

[True/False] In WCDMA mobile communication system, the diffraction capability is worse and the
penetration capability is better at frequency 2 GHz than that at GSM 900 MHz (true)
True False

[Multiple Choice] In the WCDMA system, methods against fading include: (all)
Adopt Rake Receiver to concentrate delayed and disperse energy
Adopt powerful encoding, interleaving and retransmission protocol to increase redundancy and
time diversity, thereby helping the receiver recover user bit from the fading
As a broadband system, WCDMA itself supports frequency diversity to withstand fading
Adopt fast power control and intrinsic diversity reception of Rake Receiver to reduce signal power
fading
Propagation and Antenna Theory
[True/False] Normally different antenna diversity modes will be adopted in urban and rural area, space
diversity antenna will be used in urban area and polarization diversity will be used in rural area to
overcome fast fading. (false)
True False

[True/False] Walfish-Ikegami Propagation Model is defined to designed macro cell forecast with frequency
range 800-2000 MHz and cell radius range 1-20 km (true)
True False

[True/False] The VSWR of antenna should not be less than 1.5 (true)
True False

[True/False] Antenna gain is related to radiation pattern, the more narrow the major lobe is, the higher
antenna gain is (true)
True False

[True/False] dBi is defined as the energy centralizing capability of the actual antenna in relation to
isotropic antenna (true)
True False

[True/False] To antenna gain: 10dBi = 12.5dBd (false)

True False
Propagation and Antenna Theory
[True/False] To have an antenna with better directivity and stronger anti-interference capability, one
should choose antenna with wider half-power beam width (false)
True False

[Multiple Choice] To tuning coverage area of a cell, one can adjusting antenna tilt, such as:
Mechanical Down tilt (oke)
Electrical Down tilt (oke)
Adjusting FE(NOK)
Adjusting ME RE (oke)

[True/False] Front to Back Ratio should be greater than 25dB if to be applied in urban area.(true)
True False

[True/False] To cover the tunnel, if the length of tunnel is longer than 2km, we suggest using leaky cable
to cover it. (true)
True False

[Single Choice] In radio propagation model tuning, the purpose of geography binning is:
Eliminate slow fading, remain the effect of the fast fading.
Eliminate slow fading and fast fading
Eliminate fast fading, remain the effect of slow fading
All above is wrong

[True/False] Engineer can use CAN tool to configure neighbor planning and SCP tool to
configure scrambling code planning
True False

[True/False] In WCDMA link budget, Interference Margin will reflect the load of system.
True False

[True/False] In Radio Network Dimensioning, according to link budget, we can get cell capacity.
True False

[Single Choice ] In uplink budget calculation, the body loss for PS service is
2 dB
0 dB
3 dB
1 dB

[Single Choice] For having a load factor 75%, we should set uplink Interference Margin:
0 dB
3 dB
4 dB
6 dB

[Single Choice ] Which is correct to depict the receiver sensitivity
PN = K T / (BW NF)
PN = K T BW NF
PN = K T BW / NF
PN = K T NF / BW

[Single Choice] Eb/No required has no relation with:

Configuration of diversity
