This document contains instructions for an exam on communication systems including 3 problems to solve. Problem 1 involves determining the bandwidth efficiency of different modulation schemes. Problem 2 involves calculating transmission rates and power/bandwidth requirements for transmitting voice channels over an AWGN channel. Problem 3 involves finding an orthonormal basis, decision regions, and error probability bound for a 3-message communication system.

Summer 2010 Prof. Salehi

EXAM 2
Date: Wednesday June 23 Time : 100 minutes Answer each problem in the space below it or on the following blank page. Specify which problem and what part of the problem you are answering and please be neat. Remember that if I cannot read it, I cannot grade it! No credit is given to answers without clear derivations. Use your best judgment to answer questions. In fairness to all students no questions will be answered during the exam.

Problem 1: 30 points Assuming that it is desired to transmit information at the rate of R bits per second, determine the required transmission bandwidth of each of the following 6 communication systems and arrange them in order of bandwidth eciency starting from the most bandwidth ecient and ending at the least bandwidth ecient: 1. 4-FSK 2. 8-PSK 3. QPSK 4. 64-QAM 5. BPSK 6. 16-FSK

Problem 2: 35 points A voice signals has a bandwidth of W = 3.4 kHz. This signal is sampled with a guard band of WG = 1.2 kHz and each sample is uniformly quantized using a PCM system with N = 256 quantization levels. 1. What is the resulting transmission rate? 2. If 400 voice channels are to be transmitted what is the overall transmission rate? 3. Now assume that the 400 voice channels are to be transmitted over an AWGN channel N with an attenuation of 80 dB and a noise power spectral density of 20 = 1016 Watts/Hz. It is required to maintain an error probability of Pe = 105 . Determine the required transmitter power (Pt ) and transmission bandwidth (Bt ) for each of the following modulation schemes: (a) BFSK. (b) QPSK. (c) 16-QAM. (Hint: Q(4.27) = 105 , Q(4.42) = 0.5 105 , Q(4.56) = 0.25 105 .)

Problem 3: 35 points A communication system transmits one of the three equiprobable messages m1 , m2 , and m3 using signals s1 (t), s2 (t), and s3 (t), where s3 (t) = 0, and s1 (t) and s2 (t) are shown below. The channel is an additive white Gaussian noise channel with noise power spectral density equal to N0 /2. s (t) 61 A T /3 A 2A Tt T /3 Tt 2A s (t) 62

1. Determine an orthonormal basis for this signal set and plot the signal constellation. (Hint: Try to nd an orthonormal basis with the minimum number of dimensions. Be careful!) 2. What are the optimal decision regions for this system? Show the optimal decision regions on the signal constellation you plotted in part 1. 3. Employ the union bound to nd an upper bound to the error probability. Express your Ebavg result in terms of N . 0
