Class: M. Tech (CNE) Sub: Advanced Digital Communication Model Question Paper Max. Marks:50

This document is a model question paper for an advanced digital communication exam. It contains 13 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of topics like image compression, digital signal transmission, audio digitization, analog vs digital transmission, channel bandwidth, Nyquist rate, signal-to-noise ratio, probability of repeater failure, Shannon's channel capacity theorem, and calculating bit rates and Shannon capacity based on bandwidth, modulation levels, and SNR. The questions cover key concepts in digital communication and signal processing.
