amplitude.
The signal must be sampled at least 25% above the Nyquist sampling rate.
Framing and synchronization (FS) requires additional 1.25% of total data bits. The FS
is added at the beginning of each frame.

(v) Number of channels in one frame. (Ans: 10)

(vi) Minimum transmission cable bandwidth required to transmit data from all
sources. (Bmin = R/2 = 40.5/2 = 20.25kHz)

(vii)
(Ans: 49.92dB)
(viii)

Suggest a strategy to improve the output SNR from each source to become
at least 66dB. Determine the new transmission bit rate to support this requirement.
Design a TDM system that can accommodate two analog signals and one synchronous digital
signal. The designed system must have the following specifications:
The analog signals are sampled at 1.5 times the Nyquist rate, quantized and then
binary coded.
They are multiplexed using one commutator producing a total output of 24000
bps.
Each channel has equal information bit rate.
The minimum number of bits per sample is 3.
Present your design using a block diagram and label the output of all stages. Indicate the
choice of (i) baseband bandwidth of the analog signals and (ii) the corresponding
quantization level used in your design. Justify your design with calculations.
Ans: 3 inputs, (2 analog and 1 digital)
Output 24kbps so each user transmitting 24k/3 = 8kbps

A FDM group multiplexer takes 12 voice channels (4 kHz per channel) and puts them on
subcarriers starting at 60 kHz using SSBSC utilizing upper sideband (USB). The groups are then
multiplexer together to produce a supergroup multiplexer (consists of 5 groups) with a
subcarriers starting at 420 kHz utilizing USB as well.
(i) Why does the standard voice channel is set at 4 kHz? (ans: including guard band)
[1 mark]
(ii) Determine the range of the group spectrum. (Ans: 60-108kHz)
[1 mark]
(iii)
Draw the frequency spectrum of the supergroup multiplexer showing all
the pertinent frequency values (Ans: range from 312kHz 552kHz)
[4 marks]
(iv)An extra guard band of 1 kHz is now being added between each channel. How
many voice channels can be assigned within the supergroup frequency band?
(Assume the output bandwidth of group/supergroups remain the same)
(Ans : 240/5 = 48 channels)
[2 marks]
(v) If the original FDM system employed DSBSC instead of SSBSC, what happened
to the output of the groups and supergroups multiplexer?
(ans: number of channel will become halves the original if subcarrier frequency
change accordingly
or the output will be overlapping with one another if subcarrier frequency remain
the same)
