3. A voice-band telephone channel has a passband characteristic in the frequency range
300Hz < f < 3000Hz. Assume that the channel has an ideal frequency response charac-
teristic in this band.
(a) Select a symbol rate and a power-ecient constellation size to achieve 9600 bps signal
transmission.
(b) If a square-root raised cosine spectrum pulse is used for the transmitter pulse, select
the roll-o factor.
4. The Nyquist criterion gives the necessary and sucient condition for the spectrum X(f)
of the pulse x(t) that yields zero ISI. For any pulse (real) that is band-limited to |f| < 1/T,
the zero-ISI condition is satised if Re[X(f)], for f > 0, consists of a rectangular function
plus an arbitrary odd function around f = 1/2T, and Im[X(f)] is any arbitrary even
function around f = 1/2T.
(a) Express the raised cosine spectrum in the above form, i.e, as the sum of a rectangular
function and an odd function.
(b) Give another example for X(f) that satises the above condition.
5. Suppose a digital communications system employs Gaussian-shaped pulses of the form
x(t) = exp(a
2
t

). To reduce the level of ISI to a relatively small amount, we impose
the condition that x(T) = 0.01, where T is the symbol interval. The bandwidth W of the
pulse x(t) is dened as the value of W for which X(W)/X(0) = 0.01, where X(f) is the
Fourier transform of x(t). Determine the value of W and compare this value to that of
the raised-cosine spectrum with 100% rollo.
6. Show that the raised cosine spectrum, X

7. White noise with power spectral density N

/2 is ltered by a lter with square-root raised
cosine frequency response. What is the variance of the ltered noise?
8. A 4 kHz bandpass channel is to be used for transmission of data at a rate of 9600 bps.
Design a QAM modulation using a signal pulse with a raised-cosine spectrum having a
roll-o factor of at least 0.5.
