Actual exam question from BICSI's RCDD-001
Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
[All RCDD-001 Questions]

The signal at the input to a balanced twisted pair cable is 10 mW. The cable is 1000 feet long and has an attenuation of 1 dB per 100 feet. This cable is connected to the input of a receiver. The noise level at the input to the receiver is 1 microwatt. What is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (dB) at the receiver input?

  • A. 10 dB
  • B. 30 dB
  • C. 40 dB
  • D. 60 dB
  • E. 100 dB

TDMM page 1-62 * SNR (dB) = -20 log (Vnoise / V signal) SNR (dB) = -20 log (1mW / 10mW) SNR (dB) = -20 * -1 SNR (dB) = 20 * Cable Attenuation Cable attenuation: 10dB per 1000 ft (1dB per 100 ft) SNR + cable attenuation = 30dB

From Pg 1-55 equation below should be used for signal in Watts, and to get signal at receiver input subtract cable attenuation. dB = -10log( P out/P in) - Cable Attenuation =-10log(.000001W/0.01W) - (1000m/100m*1dB) =-10log(0.0001) - 10dB =-10(-4) - 10dB =40-10dB =30dB

using Formula SNR for Power = 20logNS + Cable Attenuation

=10log(.01/0.000001) =40 dB =40dB - attenuation from cable =40dB - 10dB =30dB
