2.1 Baseband Data Transmission


1. Discuss desirable properties of Line codes.

2. Find the transfer function of optimum filter used to detect the pulse transmitted over noisy channel.

3. Show that the maximum SNR of the matched filter is given by

2E
ηmax =
N0
where E denotes signal energy and N0 denotes noise spectral density.

4. Derive the relation between error funtion, complementary error function and Q-function.

5. Derive expression for probability of error for optimum detector of known pulse in presence of Additive
White Gaussian Noise (AWGN).

6. A signal s(t) = ±2(t/T ) for 0 ≤ t ≤ T . The signal is corrupted by white Gaussian noise of power
spectral density 10−6 V olts2 /Hz
a. Draw the signal waveform at the output of a matched filter receiver.
b. If the probability of error Pe is to be no larger than 10−4 , find the minimum allowable interval
T.

7. Compare the outputs of the matched filter and the correlator, when the input signal is either ±V , as
a function of time t for 0 ≤ t ≤ T . Assume white Gaussian noise. Are the outputs the same for all t,
or just at the sampling instance T .

8. For the time limited signal s(t) given as



10 cos 2π × 1000t 0 < t < 50µsec
s(t) =
0 otherwise

corrupted by white Gaussian noise with power of 10−4 W/Hz.


a. Find the matched filter for optimum detection of pulse.
b. find the output signal to noise ratio of this filter.

9. A binary PCM system using polar NRZ signaling operates just above the error threshold with an
average probability of error equal to 10−6 . Suppose that the signaling rate is doubled. Find the new
value of average probability of error.
Students should not keep themselves confined to the above set of problems. In addition, they must explore and practice
wide variety of additional relevant problems from various available text(s) related to this course.

the second digit is reduced to zero. Construct the new receiver output.
