2. We want to transmit 800 characters/s, each character is represented by 7-bit
ASCII followed by eight bit for error detection, multi-level PAM with 16-ary
system is used.

a) what is the transmitted bit rate

Solution
a) effective transmitted rate=total no. of characters* no.of bits for each
character=800*8=6400 bps
b) M=2k=16
K=4 bits/symol
Symbol rate=6400/4=1600 symbols/sec.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. We wish to transmit 100 characters in 2 sec using 8 bits. Multilevel PAM 32-
ary system is used.

Calculate the effective transmitted symbol rate

Repeate (a) for binary system

Solution
a) Bit rate=(100/2)*8=400 bps

M=2k=32

K=5 bits/symbol

Symbol rate=400/5= 80 symbols/sec

b) M=2k=2

K=1 bits/symbol

Symbol rate=400/1= 400 symbols/sec

7. A waveform that is bandlimited to 50 KHz is sampled every 10µsec.

a) Show graphically that these samples uniquely characterize the waveform (for
simplicity: use sinusoidal signal and avoid sampling at the points where the
waveform equals zero)

b) If the samples are taken 30µsec instead of 10 µsec repeat (a)

Solution

Ts=10µsec

Fs=1/Ts=105 Hz=100 KHz=2fm

8. An analog signal is sampled at its Nyquist rate 1/Ts, and quantized using L
levels
a) Show that the time duration, T, of one bit of the transmitted binary encoded
signal must satisfy T≤Ts/log2L

b) When is the equality sign valid

Solution
a) L quantization levels requires a minimum of log2L bits, it is necessary to
transmit at least log2L bits in Ts, thus T≤Ts/log2L

b) the equality sign valid if L=2
