(EC-3501)

Q.1 Determine the Nyquist sampling rate and the Nyquist sampling interval for the
signals:

(a) sinc(100πt)
(b) sinc2 (100πt)
(c) sinc(100πt) + sinc(50πt)
(c) sinc(100πt) + 3sinc2 (60πt)
(c) sinc(50πt)sinc(100πt)

Q.2 A signal g(t) = sinc2 (5πt) is sampled (using uniformly spaced impulses) at a
rate of (i) 5 Hz; (ii) 10 Hz; (iii) 20 Hz. For each of the three cases:

(a) Sketch the sampled signal.


(b) Sketch the spectrum of the sampled signal.
(c) Explain whether you can recover the signal g(t) from the sampled signal.
(d) If the sampled signal is passed through an ideal low-pass filter of bandwidth
5 Hz, sketch the spectrum of the output signal.

Q.3 The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) has 128
characters, which are binary-coded. If a certain computer generates 100,000
characters per second, determine the following:

(a) The number of bits (binary digits) required per character.


(b) The number of bits per second required to transmit the computer output,
and the minimum bandwidth required to transmit this signal.
(c) For single error detection capability, an additional bit (parity bit) is added
to the code of each character. Modify your answers in parts (a) and (b) in
view of this information.

Q.4 A compact disc (CD) records audio signals digitally by using PCM. Assume
that the audio signal bandwidth equals 15 kHz.

(a) If the Nyquist samples are uniformly quantized into L = 65, 536 levels
and then binary-coded, determine the number of binary digits required to
encode a sample.

1
(b) If the audio signal has average power of 0.1 watt and peak voltage of 1
volt. Find the resulting signal-to-quantization-noise ratio (SQNR) of the
uniform quantizer output in part (a).
(c) Determine the number of binary digits per second (bit/s) required to en-
code the audio signal.
(d) For practical reasons discussed in the text, signals are sampled at a rate
well above the Nyquist rate. Practical CDs use 44,100 samples per second.
If L = 65, 536, determine the number of bits per second required to encode
the signal, and the minimum bandwidth required to transmit the encoded
signal.

Q.5 A television signal (video and audio) has a bandwidth of 4.5 MHz. This signal
is sampled, quantized, and binary coded to obtain a PCM signal.

(a) Determine the sampling rate if the signal is to be sampled at a rate 20%
above the Nyquist rate.
(b) If the samples are quantized into 1024 levels, determine the number of
binary pulses required to encode each sample.
(c) Determine the binary pulse rate (bits per second) of the binary-coded
signal, and the minimum bandwidth required to transmit this signal.

Q.6 A message signal m(t) is transmitted by binary PCM without compression. If


the SQNR is required to be at least 47 dB, determine the minimum value of
L = 2n required, assuming that m(t) is sinusoidal. Determine the actual SQNR
obtained with this minimum L.

Q.7 The output SQNR of a 10-bit PCM was found to be insufficient at 30 dB.
To achieve the desired SNR of 42 dB, it was decided to increase the number of
quantization levels L. Find the fractional increase in the transmission bandwidth
required for this increase in L.
