(1) Specify the Nyquist rate and the Nyquist interval for each of the following signals:
(2) A PCM system uses a uniform quantizer followed by a 7-bit binary encoder. The bit
rate of the system is equal to 50 × 106 b/s.
(a)- What is the maximum message bandwidth for which the system operates satis-
factorily?
(b)- Determine the output signal-to-quantization noise ratio when a full-load sinusoidal
modulating wave of frequency 1 MHz is applied to the input.
m(t) = A tanh(β t)
where A and β are constants. Determine the minimum step size ∆ for Delta Modulation
of this signal, which is required to avoid slope overload.
(4) A message signal m(t) is transmitted by binary PCM without compression. Let the
signal-to-quantization noise SNRq required be at least 47 dB. Determine the minimum
number of quantization levels L required, assuming that m(t) is sinusoidal. With this
value of L, determine the SNRq .

that will prevent slope overload, when the sampling rate is 40, 000 samples/sec and
the step size is ∆ = 0.1 volts.

(b)- Determine the output of the matched filter at t = 4 when the input is x(t).
(c)- For transmission over an AWGN channel, polar formating is used, after polar
mapping the levels are input to a transmit filter with impulse response x(t) every
4 seconds. The AWGN process has power spectral density equal to 1/2. Determine
the probability of a bit error of the optimal receiver.
(8) A voice signal in the range 300 to 3300 Hz is sampled at 8000 samples/s. We
may transmit these samples directly as PAM pulses or we may first convert each
sample to a PCM format and use binary (PCM) waveforms for transmission.
(a)- What is the minimum system bandwidth required for the detection of PAM
with no lSI and with a filter roll-off characteristic of α = 1?
(b)- Using the same filter roll-off characteristic. what is the minimum bandwidth
required for the detection of binary (PCM) waveforms if the samples are
quantized to eight levels?
(c)- Repeat part (b) using 128 quantization levels.
(9) Binary data at 9600 b/s arc transmitted using 8-ary PAM modulation with a sys-
tem using a raised cosine roll-off filter characteristic. The system bas a frequency
response out to 2.4 kHz.

(b)- What is the roll-off factor of the filter characteristic?
(10) The information in an analog waveform, whose maximum frequency fm = 4KHz,
is to be transmitted using a 16-level PAM system. The quantization distortion
must not exceed ±1% of the peak-to-peak analog signal.

should be used in this PAM transmission system?
(b)- What is the minimum required sampling rate, and what is the resulting bit

(c)- What is the 16-ary PAM symbol transmission rate?

(11) In the compact disc (CD) digital audio system, an analog signal is digitized so
that the ratio of the peak-signal power to the peak-quantization noise power is at
least 96 dB. The sampling rate is 44.1 k samples/s.

96 dB?
(b)- How many bits per sample are needed for the number of levels found in part
(a)?
(c)- What is the data rate in bits/s?
(12) A polar binary signal, si (t), is a +1, or −1 V pulse during the interval (0, T ).
AWGN having two-sided power spectral density of 10−3 W/Hz is added to the
signal. If the received signal is detected with a matched filter, determine the
maximum bit rate that can be sent with a bit error probability of Pe ≤ 10−3
(13) Consider that NRZ binary pulses are transmitted along a cable that attenuates
the signal power by 3 dB (from transmitter to receiver). The pulses are coherently
detected at the receiver, and the data rate is 56 kbit/s. Assume Gaussian noise
with N0 = 10−6 W/Hz. What is the minimum amount of power needed at the
transmitter in order to maintain a bit-error probability of Pe = 10−3 ?.
