ECE C392 Test-1 Makeup Paper

A 100-character message is to be transmitted using 7-bit ASCII with an 8th error detection bit per character. Using 32-level PAM and a transmission time of 2 seconds: (a) The effective bit error rate is 1/3 of the symbol error rate (b) The effective symbol rate is 100 characters * 8 bits/character / 2 seconds = 400 symbols/second (c) With error detection on alternate characters, the average symbol rate to transmit in 1 second is 200 symbols/second

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Q1. A 100 Character alphanumeric message is to be transmitted in 2 seconds, using 7bit ASCII coding
followed by an 8th bit for error detection, per character. A multilevel PAM with M=32 levels is used.
a) What is the effective bit error rate
(3M)
b) What is the effective symbol rate
(3M)
c) What is the average symbol rate if the 100 characters are to be transmitted in 1 second but with
8th error detection bit is added only for alternative characters, starting with the first character.
(4M)
Q2. A voice signal in the range of 300 3000 Hz is sampled at 8000 samples per second.
a) What is the minimum system bandwidth needed to detect at the receiver, if the samples are
transmitted directly as PAM pulses ? Note that ISI is not tolerable and the filter used has a roll
off characteristic of r = 1.
(3M)
b) Using the same filter roll off characteristics, what is the minimum bandwidth required for
detection of binary (PCM) waveforms if the samples are quantized to 8 levels.
(3M)
c) How does the results in bit (b) change if sampling rate has been increased to 16000 samples per
second and the number of PCM levels decreased to 4 levels.
(4M)
Q3. Equally likely RZ binary pulses are coherently detected over a Gaussian channel with one sided noise
power spectral density as 10-8 Watts/Hz. The received pulses have amplitude of 100mV. If the required
bit error probability is 10-3, find the largest data rate that can be transmitted using this system. (5M)
Q-Function Table.

Q4. In a binary communication system, the transmitted signals are si(t) (i= 1,2). The receiver
test statistic is z(T) = ai + n0, where ai is a1 = +/4 or a2 = - /4 and no is distributed as
p(z) = (1/ 2) cos(z)
=0

; for - /2 z /2
; otherwise

a) What are the conditional density function p(z/s1) and p(z/s2)


(3M)
b) For the apriori probabilities of P(s1) = 0.6 and P(s2) = 0.4, what is the optimal threshold from
likelihood perspective?
(6M)
c) What is the probability of bit error with the optimal threshold.
(6M)
Q5.
a) Show that the 3 waveforms given below are pair wise orthogonal over the interval (-2, 2).
(6M)
b) What is the value of A that makes them orthonormal also?
(4M)

Q6.

a) The term matched Filter is often used synonymously with correlator. How is that possible
when their mathematical operations are different?
(6M)
b) Sketch the matched filter and its output for the waveform given below.
