Important Questions

This document outlines important questions for three units of a Digital Communications course. For each unit, it lists key concepts to explain and problems to solve. Unit 1 focuses on PCM and DPCM systems, including block diagrams of transmitters and receivers and quantization techniques. Unit 2 covers PCM versus DM, delta modulation, and adaptive delta modulation. Unit 3 compares modulation schemes and explains BPSK, FFSK, DPSK, QPSK, and M-ary signaling. It provides an exam paper format and notes that engineers enjoy solving problems, even self-generated ones.
