Question 2.3:
We wish to transmit a 100-characters alphanumeric message in 2s, using 7-bit ASCII coding,
followed by an eighth bit for error detection, per character. A multilevel PAM waveform with
M=32 levels is used.
(a) Calculate the effective transmitted bit rate and symbol rate.
Question 2.14:
The information in an analog waveform, whose maximum frequency fm=4000Hz, is to be
transmitted using 16-level PAM system. The quantization distortion must not exceed ±1% of
the peak-to-peak analog signal.
(a) What is the minimum number of bits per sample or bits per PCM word that should be
used in this PAM transmission system?
(b) What is the minimum required sampling rate, and what is the resulting bit rate?
(c) What is the 16-ary PAM symbol transmission rate?
Question 2.18:
In the year 1962, AT&T first offered digital telephone transmission referred to as T1 service.
With this service, each T1 frame is partitioned into 24 channels or time slots. Each time slot
contains 8 bits (one speech sample) and there is an additional bit per frame for alignment.
The frame is sampled at the Nyquist rate of 8000 samples per second, and the bandwidth used
for transmitting the composite signal is 386 kHz.
Find the bandwidth efficiency (bits/s/Hz) for this signaling scheme.
