EE433: Supplemental Homework Problem Set #5
1. Find the fade margin (this would be the fade margin line item in the link budget) required when in
a Ricean fading channel for 5% probability of outage (received power being more than that
margin down from the median power), when the K factor is:
 12 dB
 6 dB
 -∞ dB (aka Rayleigh Fading)
2. The median Received Signal Strength in a Rician Fading Channel is -70 dBm. What is the
probability that a signal that has a power greater than -80 dBm will be received for K-factors of
 9 dB
 3 dB
