• Encode the word "HOW" into a sequence of bits, using 7-bit ASCII coding, followed by an
eight bit for error detection, per character. The 8 bits is chosen so that the number of ones
in the 8 bits is an even number. How many total bits are there in the message?
• Partition the bit stream into k=3bits segments. Represent each of the 3-bit as an octal
number (symbol). How many octal symbols are there in the message?
• if the system were designed with 16-ary modulation, how many symbols would be used
to represent the word "HOW"?
• if the system were designed with 256-ary modulation, how many symbols would be used
to represent the word "HOW"?
• Calculate the effective transmitted bit rate and the symbol rate.
• Repeat part (a) for 16-level PAM, eight-level PAM, four-level PAM, and PCM (binary) wave-
forms.
• Show that the time duration, T, of one bit of the transmitted binary encoded signal must
satisfy T ⩽ Ts /log2 L
• What is the minimum number of uniform quantization levels needed, and what is the min-
imum number of bits per sample dneeded
• Calculate the system bandwidth(as specified by the main spectral lobe of the signal) re-
quired for the detection of such a PCM signal.
