Consider an amps cellular phone with 30 Khz RF equivalent

bandwidth. The phone is connected to a mobile antenna. If
the noise figure of the phone is 6 db, the coaxial cable
loss is 3 db, and the antenna has an effective temperature
of 290 k, compute the noise figure in db of the mobile
receiver system as referred to the input of the antenna
terminals.
