Communication System II

(Solution of Assignment number 1)

1. A 107.6-MHz carrier is frequency modulated by a 7-kHz sine wave. The resultant FM signal has
a frequency deviation of 50kHz. (a) Find the carrier swing of the FM signal. (b) Determine the
highest and lowest frequencies attained by the modulating signal. (c) What is the modulation index
of the FM wave? [Note: Carrier swing is double of the maximum deviation (c.s. = 2f)]

 4. We wish to transmit a 100-character alphanumeric message in 2 seconds, using 7-bit ASCII
coding, followed by an eighth bit for error detection per character. The eighth bit is chosen so that
the number of ones in the 8 bits is an even number. A multilevel PAM waveform with M=32 levels
is used.
(a) Calculate the effective transmitted bit rate and the symbol rate.
(b) Repeat part (a) for 16-level PAM, eight-level PAM, four-level PAM, and PCM (binary)
waveform.

Solution:

5. The information in an analog waveform, whose maximum frequency fm=4000Hz, is to be transmitted

using a 16-level PAM system. The quantization must not exceed 1% of the peak-to-peak analog signal.
(a) What is the minimum number of bits per sample or bits per PCM word that should be used in this
system?
(b) What is the minimum required sampling rate, and what is the resulting bit rate?
(c) What is the 16-ary PAM symbol Transmission rate?
