Question 1: Three signals x(t), y(t) and z(t) are delta modulated. The outputs of the
modulator are given below: (2)
Put a tick mark beside the signal that suffers from slope overload.
Question 2: Consider the signal x(t ) 4sin(200 t ) volt. The signal is the input of a
delta modulator. The step size of the delta modulator is 0.1 volt. What is the minimum
sampling frequency required to avoid slope overload? (4)
Solution:
Given,
Step size, q = 0.1 V
x(t ) 4sin(200 t )
dx (t )
4(200 ) cos(200 t ) 800 cos(200 t )
dx
dx (t )
so, 800

or , 0.1 f s 800
or , f s 8000 25.13 kHz
Now consider the signal to be transmitted using delta modulation instead of PCM. The
sampling frequency is same as before.
vi. What is the bit rate now?
vii. What is the required bandwidth for transmission now if Manchester line
coding is used? (10)
Solution:
iii. Bit rate, Rb = number of samples per second x number of bits per sample
= bfs = 1/Tb = 24000 x 8 = 192 kbps
Question 4: Consider a single tone amplitude modulated wave with modulation index =
0.707. The unmodulated carrier amplitude is 24 V. (4)
i. What is the amplitude of the message signal?
ii. What is the amplitude sensitivity of modulation?
