a. What PCM bit rate will be required if an ideal anti-aliasing filter with a cut-
off frequency of 3.4 kHz is used at the transmitter and signal to quantization
noise ratio (𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅) is to be kept above 50 dB?
Solution:
- For a PCM, 𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅(𝑑𝐵) = 6.02𝑛𝑏 + 1.76 ≥ 50 ⇒ 𝑛𝑏 ≥ 9
➢ Thus, 9 𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑠⁄𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 are required.
- Sampling rate, 𝑓𝑠 ≥ 2𝑓𝑐𝑢𝑡−𝑜𝑓𝑓 ⇒ 𝑓𝑠 = 2 × 3.4 𝑘𝐻𝑧 = 6.8 𝑘𝐻𝑧
- PCM bit rate = 𝑓𝑠 × 𝑛 = 6.8 × 9 𝑘𝐵𝑖𝑡𝑠⁄𝑠𝑒𝑐 = 61.2 𝑘𝐵𝑖𝑡𝑠⁄𝑠𝑒𝑐
b. Find the overall signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the reconstructed signal if
the received noise induces an error rate, on average, of one in every 106
PCM bits.
Solution:
- 106 PCM bits induce 1 error
1
- 1PCM bit induces, 𝑃𝑒 = 106 = 10−6 (1)
- For a PCM, 𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅(𝑑𝐵) = 6.02𝑛𝑏 + 1.76
= (6.02 × 9 + 1.76)𝑑𝐵 = 55.94 𝑑𝐵 = 3.926 × 105 (2)
𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅
Or for a PCM, the overall 𝑆𝑁𝑅 = 1+4𝑆𝑁 (3)
𝑞 𝑅×𝑃𝑒
- Substituting the Eq. (1) and Eq. (2) into Eq. (3), yields to:
𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅 3.926×105
𝑆𝑁𝑅 = 1+4𝑆𝑁 = 1+4×3.926×105×10−6 = 1.527 × 105 = 51.83 𝑑𝐵
𝑞 𝑅×𝑃𝑒
2. Design a uniform scalar quantizer for a sine signal with amplitude 1.5 V with 𝑀 =

- The quantization levels, 𝑀 = 3.
1.5−(−1.5)
➢ The step size, ∆𝑞 = 𝑉 = 1𝑉

3. A music signal has a bandwidth of 20 kHz. Assume that the signal’s peak-to-mean
ratio is 20dB.
a. Calculate the bit rate required to transmit this as a linearly quantized PCM
signal maintaining a signal to quantization noise ratio (𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅) of 55dB.
Solution:
- 𝛼𝑑𝐵 = 20 𝑑𝐵
- The signal bandwidth, 𝐵𝑊 = 20 𝑘𝐻𝑧
- The signal to quantization noise ratio, 𝑆𝑁𝑞 𝑅 = 6.02𝑛𝑏 + 1.76 − 20 = 55
⇒ 𝑛𝑏 = 12.166 ≈ 13 𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑠
𝑛 13
- Quantization levels, 𝑀 = 2 = 2 = 8192
- Sampling rate, 𝑓𝑠 ≥ 2𝑓𝑚 ⇒ 𝑓𝑠 = 2 × 20 𝑘𝐻𝑧 = 40 𝑘𝐻𝑧
- The required bit rate, 𝑓𝑠 × 𝑛 = 40 × 13 𝑘𝐵𝑖𝑡𝑠⁄𝑠 = 520 𝑘𝐵𝑖𝑡𝑠⁄𝑠
