How to submit the assignment.

Solve in your copy, write down your name and roll no at the top right corner, scan/photo them, then
make one PDF file, name the PDF file as your roll number, and then submit it in Moodle.

Problems:

1. Suppose a PSK system with 𝑀 >> 1 is converted to M-ary QAM. By what factor can the
symbol energy be reduced, while keeping the error probability unchanged?
2. For SNR 𝑦𝑏 = 13 𝑑𝐵, calculate P, for (a) BPSK, (b) 32-QAM (c) 64-PSK, (6) 64-QAM.
3. Binary data is to be transmitted at the rate 𝑟𝑏 2 = 800 𝑘𝑏𝑝𝑠 on a radio channel having 250-
kHz bandwidth. Specify the modulation method that minimizes signal energy and calculate
the SNR in dB needed to get 𝑃𝑒 ≤ 10−6 .
4. Consider a BPSK system for a bandlimited channel with 𝐵𝑇 = 3000 𝐻𝑧 the spectral
envelope must be at least 30 dB below the maximum outside the channel. What is the
maximum data rate 𝑟𝑏 to achieve this objective?
5. Binary data is to be sent at the rate 𝑟𝑏 = 100 𝑘𝑏𝑝𝑠 over a channel with 60-dB transmission
loss and noise density 𝑁𝑜 = 10−12 𝑊/𝐻𝑧 at the receiver. What transmitted power 𝑆𝑇 is
needed to get 𝑃𝑒 = 10−3 for BPSK modulation?
6. A binary transmission system with 𝑆𝑇 = 200 𝑚𝑊, loss due to transmission over channel
𝐿 = 90 𝑑𝐵, and density 𝑁𝑜 = 10−15 𝑊/𝐻𝑧 is to have 𝑃𝑒 ≤ 10−4 Find the maximum
allowable bit rate using BPSK, 16-PSK, and 64-QAM. Also find the minimum transmit power
required to transmit 1 Mbps using BPSK, 16-PSK, and 64-QAM with the same 𝑁𝑜 and 𝑃𝑒 . Also
explain the understanding from the above results.
7. What is the need for pulse shaping in digital communication?
8. We are required to transmit 2.08 × 106 binary digits per second with 𝑝𝑒 ≤ 10−6 using BPSK,
16 PSK, and 64-QAM. The noise PSD is 10−8. Determine the transmission bandwidth and the
signal power at the receiver input in each case. Assume the pulse roll-off factor is 1.
9. Calculate the number of bits that need to be transmitted to achieve the BER of 10−6.
10. Covert the 40 dB into Watt and 80 watt into dB without using the calculator. Show the
calculation steps.
11. What is the significance of dB scale? Assume the signal with 𝑆𝑇 = 80 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑡 is transmitted
over a channel and suffered a loss of 90 dB. Calculate received power 𝑆𝑅 in dB. If 𝑆𝑇 =
22 𝑑𝐵𝑚 and 𝑆𝑅 = 10 𝑑𝐵𝑚, then calculate the loss.
12. Binary data is transmitted by using polar signaling over AWGN channel with noise PSD 𝜂/2.
The two signals used are 𝑠1 (𝑡) = −𝑠2 (𝑡) = √𝐸. The symbol probabilities 𝑃(𝑚1 ) and 𝑃(𝑚2 )
are unequal, where 𝑚1 and 𝑚2 are two messages corresponding to the signals 𝑠1 and 𝑠2 .
Design the optimum receiver and determine the corresponding error probability.
13. Draw the constellation diagram of BPSK, 𝜋/4 𝑄𝑃𝑆𝐾, 16 PSK, 32-QAM, and 64-QAM.
14. Compare the output of the matched filter and the correlator, when the input signal is either
±𝑉, as a function of time 𝑡 for 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 𝑇. Assume white gaussian noise. Are outputs the same
for all 𝑡 or just when 𝑡 = 𝑇? Justify.
15. If the error probability of BPSK, MPSK, and MQAM for M=4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 are to be the
same, then what is the ratio of their SNR compared to 𝑆𝑁𝑅𝐵𝑃𝑆𝐾 .
16. A 9.6 kbps NRZ data stream is to be transmitted over a 2.4 kHz bandwidth channel. What
modulation system would you choose is an error of 10−4is to be achieved with a minimum
signal-to-noise ratio?
17. A probability of error of 10−3 is desired and a channel bandwidth of 20 kHz is available. If the
bit rate is 80 kbps, 16PSK or 16-QAM can be used. Calculate the value of SNR required for
each of the systems.
