Unit – I

1.Explain the key advantages of digital communication systems over


analog communication systems.

2.Describe the process of Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) in detail,


including the steps involved in sampling, quantization, and coding.
Explain the significance of each step. 12M (L2)

quality of the reconstructed signal? Discuss methods to minimize
quantization error. 12M(L1)(CO1)

4.Explain the concept of companding in PCM systems. How does


companding improve the representation of analog signals in digital
form? 12M (L2)(CO1)

10. Given an analog signal with a maximum amplitude of 4 V and a


minimum amplitude of -4 V, you need to sample this signal using

quantization levels required to represent this signal without
significant distortion, assuming a desired Signal-to-Quantization-
Noise Ratio (SQNR) of at least 40 db.

11. Consider a DPCM system where the input signal is sampled, and
the difference between the current sample and the predicted value
is quantized and transmitted. If the prediction error for a particular
sample is 3 units and it is quantized using a 4-bit quantizer,
determine the quantization error for this sample. 6M(L3)
