Ensc - Assignment7 PDF

This document contains an assignment for a communication systems course. It includes 5 questions related to random processes, wide-sense stationarity, power spectral density, and modulation techniques including DSBSC and SSB. The questions cover topics such as finding the mean, autocorrelation and power spectral density of random processes, and how these properties change based on linear time-invariant systems and modulation.

Assignment #7

1) Which one of the following functions can be the autocorrelation function of a random
process and why?

2) The random process X(t) is defined by X(t) = X cos (2π f0t) + Y sin(2π f0t) where X and Y
are two zero-mean independent Gaussian random variables each with variance σ2
a). Find mean of X(t) , mX(t).

b). Find RX (t + τ, t). Is X(t) wide sense stationary?

c). Find the power-spectral density of X(t).

d). Answer the above questions for the case where .


3) X(t) is a WSS process with power-spectral density . This process passes through
the system shown in the following figure

a) Is Y (t) WSS? Why?

b) What is the power-spectral density of Y (t)?

4) Assume a zero-mean wide-sense stationary process X(t) has the power spectral density
shown in the following figure. Find the variance of X(t).

5) A message m( t) of bandwidth W Hz is to be sent over a communication channel using either


DSBSC modulation or SSB modulation. The modulated signal is denoted as s ( t)
and it has a carrier frequency of fc ; fc >>W. The communication channel adds white noise
w( t) to the modulated signal and the received signal is
r ( t ) = s(t ) + w(t)

The power spectral density (PSD) of w( t) , denoted as S w ( f ) , is as shown in Fig. Q5.


The received signal is passed to a coherent receiver, which comprises of a front end filter,
followed by a down converter, and low pass filter(s). As far as the coherent receiver is
concerned, it sees a relevant bandpass noise of

N ( t )  N I ( t )cos 2 f c t  N Q ( t )sin 2 f c t ,

where N I ( t ) and N Q ( t ) are low pass noise of bandwidth W. We will use S N ( f ), S I ( f )and
S Q ( f ), to denote the PSD functions of N I ( t ), N I ( t ) and N Q ( t ) respectively.

a). Sketch S N ( f ), S I ( f ) and S Q ( f ) when DSBSC is employed. Clearly label the critical
amplitudes and frequencies in the sketches.

b). Sketch S N ( f ), S I ( f ) and S Q ( f ) when SSB is employed. Clearly label the critical
amplitudes and frequencies in the sketches.
