III B. Tech I Semester Supplementary Examinations, February-2022


DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
(Electronics and Communication Engineering)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
Note: 1. Question Paper consists of two parts (Part-A and Part-B)
2. Answer ALL the question in Part-A
3. Answer any FOUR Questions from Part-B
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PART –A (14 Marks)


1. a) Give the block diagram representation of DPCM. [2M]
b) What type of synchronization is used in QPSK system? [2M]
c) Describe the condition of orthogonality of two BFSK systems. [2M]
d) What is entropy? What is its significance? [3M]
e) Verify that 𝐼(𝑋; 𝑌) = 𝐼(𝑌; 𝑋). [3M]
f) What is constraint length for convolution encoders? [2M]
PART –B (56 Marks)
2. a) Explain the quantization and encoding techniques in PCM [7M]
system.
b) Explain how adaptive delta modulation performs better and [7M]
gains more SNR than delta modulation?

3. a) Explain the operation of the DEPSK. Discuss why errors occur in [7M]
pairs in this system.
b) Sketch the QPSK waveform for the sequence 1101010010, [7M]
assuming the carrier frequency equal to bit rate. What is the
difference between BPSK and QPSK?

4. a) What is matched filter? How it differs from optimum filter? [7M]


Derive an expression for impulse response of matched filter.
b) In a binary PCM system ON/OFF signaling is used. The matched [7M]
filter receiver is used for detection of signal. Calculate the
probability of error if signaling rate is doubled.

5. a) If there are ‘M’ number of equally likely messages, then show [7M]
that the entropy of the source is log2M.
b) A discrete source emits one of five symbols once every [7M]
millisecond. The symbol probabilities are 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16
and 1/16 respectively. Find the source entropy and information
rate.

S2 0.25
S3 0.125
S4 0.125

why the computed source code has an efficiency of 100
percent.
(ii) Calculate H.

7. a) Briefly describe about the Code tree, Trellis and State Diagram [7M]
for a Convolution Encoder.
b) The generator polynomial for a (15, 7) cyclic code is 𝑔(𝑥) = 1 + [7M]
𝑥 4 + 𝑥 6 + 𝑥 7 + 𝑥 8 . Find the code vector, V(x) (in systematic form)
for the message polynomial 𝐷(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 4 . Assume that the
first and last bits of the code vector 𝑉(𝑥) for 𝐷(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 4
suffer transmission errors. Find the syndrome of 𝑉(𝑥).
