Information Coding Techniques

1. Prefix coding is defined as

a) A codeword is a prefix of any other codeword
b) No codeword is a prefix of any other codeword
c) Codeword is a prefix of any previous codeword

2. Entropy is _________________________________.

3. Define Variable length code.Give an example.

4. Source Coding theorem States that

a) Lmin = Average codeword length
b) H(s) ≥ Average codeword length
c) Lmin ≤ Average codeword length

5. Channel coding theorem States that

a) Channel capacity C > R
b) Information Rate R ≤ Channel Capacity C
c) R ≠ C

6. What is DPCM?

7. What is the need for LPF in DM?

8. What will happen if speech is coded at low bit rates?

a) Channel Bandwidth can increased.
b) Channel Bandwidth can be decreased.
c) Clarity in the speech signal

9. Hamming distance
a) Distance between four codeword
b) Distance between two codeword
c) Distance between one codeword
10. Hamming Weight __________________________________________

11. What is meant by Systematic and non Systematic Codes?

12. Syndrome is a
a) Codeword
