Rules & Regulations

If any coursework assessment is found to be copied from other candidates

using unacceptable means, then it shall be cancelled and the total marks
awarded will be zero. No chance of resubmission or appeal will be given*.
Your source of information should be mentioned in the reference page
clearly. (For example: If its from book, you have to mention the full details of
the book with title, author name, edition and publishers name. If it is from
the internet you have to mention the correct URL). Otherwise the assignment
will be considered as plagiarized*.
The students may be asked to appear for a viva voce to validate the
assignment solutions submitted. The viva voce does not carry any marks.

1 A design engineer claim that the PCM system designed by him for a voice signal
. band limited to 3300 Hz provides peak signal power to average quantization
noise power at the output 90 dB and has following specifications: Number of bits

per sample = 16 bits, sampling rate 8000 samples/Sec., bit period = 6 micro
sec, minimum channel bandwidth required is 167KHz, a peak signal power of
100 Watt and an average quantization noise power of 1 Watt.
Analyze the system and give justification whether all the specifications given by
him are true.

2. A speech signal is band limited to 3.5KHz is pulse code modulated in a digital
communication system. The coded signal is transmitted over a channel at a rate
of 50 Kbps. What is the value of the maximum SNR obtained in dB? Assume that
the input signal has peak to peak value of 8V.
3. The transmission rate of a FSK binary system is 10 6 bits per second over a
microwave link. Channel noise is AWGN having a zero mean and power spectral
density at the receiver side is 10-6 W/Hz. Find
i. the average carrier power required.
ii. Minimum channel bandwidth required if the average probability error is
10-4.
4. a. Compare QAM and ASK in terms of its error performance and data rate.
(2 Marks)
b. binary data is transmitted over a channel at a rate of f 0 bits/sec. To reduce
the transmission bandwidth, it is decided to transmit this data using 16-ary
symbol.
i. By what factor is the bandwidth reduced?
(1 Mark)
ii. What will be the increase in the transmitted power when the
separation between pulse amplitude is same in both cases.
Calculate the difference in maximum power level between ASK and
16-ary symbol in this case. (3 Marks)
5. It is desired to set up a central station for simultaneous monitoring temperature
of 10 machines located at different locations. The data from each machines are
brought to a processing centre over wires and are sampled, quantized, binary
coded and time-division multiplexed. The multiplexed data are now transmitted
to the controlling station. Assuming each signal bandwidth is 150Hz, the
acceptable error in sample amplitude is 0.25% of the peak signal amplitude and
a sampling rate of twice the Nyquist rate. Determine the minimum cable
