EE-410 Communication Systems

Question 1
A binary channel with bit rate Rb= 36 000 (bits per second) is available for PCM voice
transmission .Find appropriate values of the sampling rate, quantization level L and the binary
digits n, assuming fM = 3.2 kHz.
Question 2
Find the Nyquist rate and the Nyquist interval for each of the following signals.
a) m(t) = 5 cos 1000t cos 5000t
b) m(t) = sinc (200t)
c) m(t) = sinc2(200t)
d) m(t) = sinc (400t) + sinc2(300t)
Question 3
Twenty four voice signals are sampled uniformly and then time division multiplexed. The
sampling operation uses flat-top samples with 1 sec duration. The multiplexing operation
includes provision for synchronization by adding an extra pulse of sufficient amplitude and also
1 sec duration. The highest frequency component of each voice signal is 3.4 kHz.
a) Assuming a sampling rate of 8 kHz, calculate the spacing between successive pulses of
the multiplexed signal.
b) Repeat your calculation assuming the use of Nyquist rate sampling.

Question 6
A Compact Disc (CD) recording system samples each of two stereo systems with a 16 bit Analog
to Digital converter (ADC) at 44.1 kbps
a) Determine the output signal to quantizing noise ratio for a full scale sinusoid.
b) The bit stream of digitized data is augmented by the addition of error-correcting bits,
clock extraction bits, and display and control bit fields. These additional bits represent
100 percent overhead. Determine the output bit rate of the CD recording system.
c) The CD can record an hours worth of music. Determine the number of bits recorded on a
CD.
d) For a comparison, a high-grade collegiate dictionary may contain 1500 pages, 2 columns
per page, 100 lines per column, 8 words per line, 6 letters per word and 7 bits per letter
on average. Determine the number of bits required to describe the dictionary and estimate
the number of comparable books that can be stored on a CD.

Question 8
A PCM system that uses a uniform quantiser is followed by a 7-bit binary encoder .The bit rate
of the system is equal to 50106 b/s.
a) What is the maximum message bandwidth for which the system operates satisfactorily?
b) Determine the output signal to quantization noise ratio when a full load sinusoidal
modulating wave of frequency 1 MHz is applied to input.
(Hint: You may prove Signal to quantization Noise ratio of full load sinusoidal
modulating wave to be 3/2 L2 and then substitute the parameters to find the final answer
in dBs).
