EEE 309 Communication Theory: Instructor: Tishna Sabrina Summer 2016

This document summarizes key points from Lecture 17 of the EEE 309 Communication Theory course taught by Professor Tishna Sabrina in Summer 2016. The lecture discusses transmission bandwidth and output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is explained that the maximum information rate for a signal bandlimited to B Hz is 2B bits/second. The minimum transmission bandwidth required to transmit a pulse code modulation (PCM) signal is equal to the sampling rate. Increasing the number of bits per sample increases the output SNR exponentially but only increases the transmission bandwidth linearly. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.

Transmission BW & Output SNR

Maximum Information Rate

Recall that, .

Many signals such as speech have a non uniform distribution.

So, a unit bandwidth (1 Hz) can transmit a maximum of two pieces of


information per second.

Transmission Bandwidth

For a binary PCM, a distinct group of n binary digits (bits)


are assigned to each of the L quantization levels.
Because a sequence of n bits can be arranged in 2n
distinct patterns,
each quantized sample is thus encoded into n bits.
Because a signal m(t) band-limited to B Hz requires a
minimum of 2B samples/sec, a total of 2nB bits/sec is
required.
In other words, 2nB pieces of information/sec.
So, a minimum channel of BW BT Hz is required, where
This is the theoretical minimum transmission BW required
to transmit the PCM signal.

Solution:
The Nyquist sampling rate,
The actual sampling rate,
For binary coding,
L must be a power of 2. So the next higher value of L that is apower of 2 is L=

The output SNR can be expressed as,
where,

In the decibel scale,

, where
If we increase n from 8 to 9, the SNR quadruples, but the
transmission BW increases only from 32 kHz to 36 kHz (an
increase of only 12.5%).

For
Now the SNR,

and transmission BW is

Hence,
and transmission BW is 32 kHz.

The difference between 2 SNRs is 12 dB, which is a ratio of 16.


The BW requirement increases about 33% as compared to the
previous one.
