Homework 1
1. An analog signal is sampled at a sampling rate of 8 KHz. It is then quantized using a total
of 64 representation levels, followed by binary encoding. The digitized information is then
transmitted over a baseband M -ary PAM system, i.e., M is the number of amplitude levels
that the pulse amplitude modulator produces. Find the minimum bandwidth required for
transmission for the following cases:
(a) M = 2
(b) M = 4
2. Consider a PCM system employing on-off keying. A bit 1 is represented by a pulse of
height A for a duration of 1 second and a bit 0 is represented by sending no pulse for a
duration of 1 second. The signals are transmitted over a AWGN channel with zero mean
and power spectral density 1/2. A receiver is designed as shown in Figure 1 to decide if a
0 or 1 was transmitted.

(a) Assuming equiprobable bit-transmission, find the optimum threshold that minimizes
the probability of error.
(b) Using the threshold in part (a), evaluate the average probability of error for this
receiver in terms of the the complementary error function erfc(x) which is given as

3. A binary PAM wave is to be transmitted over a baseband channel with an absolute maximum bandwidth of 60 KHz. The bit rate of the system is 100 Kbps. If we are to design
a raised cosine spectrum that satisfies these requirements, find the rolloff factor of the
raised cosine pulse ?

w(t) is projected onto a set of orthonormal basis functions {j (t)}, j = 1, , N, 0

variables.
