1A. Derive an expression for the output Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) of a matched filter receiver and
show that the maximum SNR equals , assuming AWGN channel.
1B. A discrete memoryless source has an alphabet of symbols with probabilities for its output, as
described in the table below:
Symbol S0 S1 S2 S3 S4 S5
Probability 0.25 0.25 0.125 0.125 0.125 0.125
Compute the Huffman code for this source. Find code efficiency and code redundancy.
1C. For the signals shown in FIG1C, find the orthonormal basis functions.

2A. Explain the practical aspects of sampling and recovery of the original signal from its samples.
Evaluate the effects of practical deviations from the ideal condition.
2B. The signals and are both sampled at times
where, n = 0, ±1, ±2, ….,, and samples/sec. Are the two sequences of samples
thus obtained identical? Justify your answer. What is this phenomenon called?
2C. In a certain binary communication system, the signal space representation for symbol 1 and symbol
0 is and respectively. Suppose (t) is received without noise at
the input of a correlator receiver, determine the output of the correlators and hence find the
estimated output. Draw the correlator receiver diagram.

3A. Starting from fundamentals, obtain the probability of error expression for channel noise when
symbol 1 is sent.
3B. Explain the tradeoff between bandwidth and S/N for a Gaussian channel. Obtain the expression for
Shannon’s bound.
3C. What will be the output of the quantizers when the input is zero? Discuss it briefly.
