Number of Questions: 08 (Two pages)
Instructions:
1. Follow TEE GUIDELINES

Answer all the questions
1. Explain Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) and Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) digital
modulation techniques. Evaluate the bit error rate (BER) for FSK in the case of coherent
receiver.
[4 marks]
2. Determine the bit rate that can be transmitted through a 4-kHz voice-band telephone
(bandpass) channel if the following modulation techniques are used:
a) Binary PAM
b) Four-phase PSK.
c) 8-pont QAM (8-QAM).
d) Binary orthogonal FSK, with noncoherent detection.
e) Orthogonal four-FSK with noncoherent detection.
f) Orthogonal 8-FSK with noncoherent detection.

For (a)-(c), assume that the transmitter pulse shape has a raised cosine spectrum with a 50
percent roll-off.
[3 marks]
3. Explain the lattice form of decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in detail with a neat
diagram, explain all the blocks and the related equations. Define all symbols used in the
equations.
[3 marks]
4. Explain spatial multiplexing with an example. Compute the multiplexing gain of 8x6
MIMO system to achieve a spectral efficiency of 30 Mbps at SNR = 8 dB. Comment on
the number of significant Eigen values of such MIMO channel matrix.
[3 marks]
5. Write the channel capacity expression for a deterministic MIMO channel? Write two
advantages and two disadvantages of MIMO system?
[4 marks]
6. A random variable X takes values −1 and +1 with probabilities 0.2 and 0.8, respectively.
It is transmitted across a channel which adds noise N, so that the random variable at the
channel output is Y = X + N. The noise N is independent of X and is uniformly
distributed over the interval [−2, 2]. The receiver makes a decision as follows:

−1, 𝑌≤𝜃
𝑋={
+1, 𝑌>𝜃
where the threshold θ ∈ [−1, 1] is chosen so as to minimize the probability of error
Pr [𝑋̂ ≠ 𝑋] . Determine the minimum probability of error.
[3 marks]
7. Write short note on inter-symbol interference (ISI). Suggest an ISI free shaping filter.
[4 marks]
8. Consider binary PAM transmission. Let the received samples be given by

𝑦𝑘 = 𝑎𝑘 + 𝑛𝑘

where the symbols 𝑎𝑘 can take values of +1 and −1 with probabilities 1/3, and 2/3,
respectively. The noise 𝑛𝑘 is additive white Gaussian noise with zero mean and variance 𝜎 2 .
a. Determine the optimum detector.
b. Determine the probability of error.
