2. A computer has an output bit rate of 56 kbits/s, and three successive binary digits are coded
into one of eight possible amplitude levels. The resulting eight-level pulses are then shaped
using raised cosine filtering during transmission over a baseband channel. Find the
transmission bandwidths for the following roll-off factors: = 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.
3. An analogue source is sampled, quantised, and encoded into a binary PCM signal. Each
quantised sample is encoded into a codeword, which is then line coded into three information
pulses plus a synchronising pulse. The line code pulses can take on four possible levels, and
are transmitted over a channel of bandwidth 6 kHz using Nyquist filtering with 50% roll-off.
(a) Determine the symbol rate of the line code pulses.
(b) Find the information bit rate of the PCM signal.
(c) It is desired to trade number of quantisation levels for source bandwidth. If the number of
quantisation levels is reduced by a factor of 4, what is the new source bandwidth?
4. A 4,800 bits/s data terminal is connected to a modem. Calculate the transmission bandwidth
required at the modem output for each of the following schemes. 50% roll-off shaping is used
in all cases.
(a) Binary ASK.
(b) Binary FSK. Assume that the frequency deviates 3,600 Hz about the carrier.
(c) 16-state QAM.
5. A 1,200 bits/s bit stream is encoded to a two-level line code signal. The line code is
transmitted through a baseband communication system, which implements a sinusoidal roll-
off shaping. The shaped line code is then FSK modulated before transmitted over a telephone
channel. The FSK signal is to fit into the frequency range of 500 to 2,900 Hz of the telephone
channel. The carrier is modulated to two frequencies of 1,200 and 2,200 Hz. Determine the
bandwidth and roll-off factor of the baseband transmission system.
6. A 9,600 bits/s transmission over a telephone line is desired. For this purpose the line must be
specially conditioned to allow signal transmission over the frequency range of 300 to 3,000
Hz. Show that 16-state QAM, with 12.5% sinusoidal roll-off shaping, will provide the
desirable bit rate.
