Describe the salient features of the following: (a) International Morse Code (b 7-bit ASCII Code (c) 7-bit GSM Code 2. Encode the following text using (a) International Morse Code, (b) 7-bit ASCII Code, (c) 7-bit GSM Code WELCOME TO GARDEN OF KNOWLEDGE AND VIRTUE 3. Explain the following (a) Sampling Theorem (b) Nyquist Sampling Rate (c) Aliasing Error (d) Anti-aliasing filter (e) Uniform Quantization (f) Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) 4. In the process of digital formatting of analog signals, such as audio and video, why it is often desirable to perform over sampling. 5. The signal m(t) = cos 100t + cos 200t is first sampled at a sampling rate of 120 samples per second and then filtered by a lowpass filter with a bandwidth of 100 Hz. Obtain and draw the Fourier spectrum of the following: i. The signal m(t) ii. The sampled signal ms(t) iii. The low-pass filtered signal y(t). 6. Aliasing will not occur if the sampling rate is greater than twice the signal bandwidth. However, perfectly band-limited signals do not occur in nature. Hence, there is always some aliasing present. (a) Suppose that a filtered signal has a spectrum described by a Butterworth filter with order n = 6, an upper cutoff frequency
fu = 1000 Hz. What sampling rate is required so that aliasing error is reduced to the -50 dB point in the power spectrum? (b) Repeat for a Butterworth filter with order n = 12. 7. The information in an analog waveform with maximum frequency fm=4000 Hz, is to be transmitted using a 16-level PAM system. The peak quantization error 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? 8. An analog signal is to be quantized by a uniform quantizer that has 8 quantization levels and operates between -2.0 V and 2.0 V. The analogue signal has a pdf that is symmetric around 0 and that takes the value 0.1 between -2.0 V and -1 V, 0.3 between -1 V and -0.5 V, and 0.5 between -0.5 V and 0 V. The quantization levels are uniformly distributed over the dynamic range, and the quantizer outputs the middle values of the respective intervals. (a) Draw the pdf of the analogue signal (b) Draw the quantizer characteristics (c) Draw the quantization error over the dynamic range of the quantizer (d) Calculate the quantization noise variance 9. A compact disc (CD) recording system samples each of two stereo signals with a 16-bit AD-converter at 44.1 kilo samples/s. (a) Determine the output signal-to-noise ratio for a full-scale sinusoid. (b) If the recorded music is designed to have a crest factor (ratio of peak-to-rms values) of 20, determine the average output signal-toquantization noise ratio.
(c) The bit stream of digitized data is augmented by the addition of error correcting bits, substitution bits to aid the clock extraction by a phase-locked loop (PLL), and display and control bit fields. These additional bits represent 100% overhead; that is, 2 bits are stored for each bit generated by the ADC. Determine the output bit rate of the CD recorder system. (d) The CD can record an hours worth of music. Determine the number of bits recorded on a CD. (e) For the sake of comparison, consider a collegiate dictionary containing 1500 pages, 2 columns/page, 100 lines/column, 7 words/ line, 6 letters/word, and 6 bits/ letter. Determine the number of bits required to describe the dictionary and estimate the number of comparable books that can be stored on a CD. 10. We wish to transmit a 100-character alphanumeric message in 2s, using 7-bit ASCII code for character coding, followed by an eighth bit for error detection. The eight bit is chosen so that the number of ones in the 8 bits is an even number. A multi-level PAM waveform with M=32 levels is used. (a) Calculate the effective transmitted bit rate and the symbol rate. (b) Repeat Part (a) for * 16-level PAM waveform, * 8-level PAM waveform, * 4-level PAM waveform * 2-level (binary) PAM (PCM) waveform.
