1. What is sampling? What is Sampling Theorem?
Ans: Sampling is defined as the process in which an analog signals are converted into digital signals. It
means that a continuous time signal is converted into a discrete time signal.
Sampling Theorem is defined as : desented in its samples
and recovered back if the sampling frequency (fs) is greater than the maximum frequency of the signal
(fm) that is fs >2fm.
2. Define PAM and write down its drawbacks?
Ans: Pulse Amplitude Modulation is the process by which the amplitude of the regularly spaced pulses
varies according to the the amplitude of the modulating signal.
The drawbacks are:
a. Since the amplitude of the pulses varies therefore the peak power of the modulating s/g is much
greater.
b. The bandwidth required for transmitting is greater since the amplitude varies.
3. What is Modulation? What happens in over modulation?
Ans: Modulation is defined as the process in which some characteristics of the signal called carrier is
varied according to the modulating or baseband signal. For example - Amplitude Modulation, Phase
Modulation, Frequency Modulation.
In case of over modulation, the modulation index is greater than one and envelope distortion occurs.
4. What do you mean by Nyquist rate?
Ans: In case of Nyquist rate, the sampling frequency is equal to the maximum frequency of the signal
and therefore the successive cycles of the spectrum does not overlap.
5. What do you mean by FM and classify FM.
