3. (10 points) Calculate the wavelength of the signal of sin (200 kπt+ ) with the propagation
3
speed of 3000m/s
Answer:
Step1: Find frequency
f = 2000kπ/2π = 1000k
Step2: Find wavelength
f = v---------------eq 1
Step3: v = 3000m/s
Step4: put values in equation 1
= v/f = 3000/1000k = 3x10-3m
4. (10 points) Plot the frequency component of signal

4 sin 200 πt+
π
3)+sin (10 πt−π )
What is the bandwidth of this signal?
Answer:
(
Step1: Find frequency of”4 sin 200 πt+
π
3 )
f = 200π/2π = 100 hz
Step2: Find frequency of”sin ( 10 πt−π )
f = 10π/2π = 5 hz
Step3: Find bandwidth
B = fh – fl ---------------eq 1
Step4: Place the value in eq 1
B = 100 – 5 = 95 Hz
5. (10 points) What is the bit rate for the given digital signal in Figure 1
Answer:
Step1: Bit rate = number of bits in one second
One bit duration = 0.02 msec
Step2: Bit rate
1/0.02 msec = 50,000bps
6. (20 points) What is the channel capacity for a teleprinter channel with a 300-Hz
bandwidth and a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 dB?
Shannon's equation: C = B log2 (1 + SNR), SNRdb=10 log10 (SNR)
Answer:
Given equation SNRdb = 10 log10(SNR) = 3, hence, we have
log10(SNR) =3/10
SNR = 103/10 = 1.995
Based on Shannon’s equation C=B log2(1+SNR) and bandwidth B = 300hz, the channel
Capacity
C = 300 log2 (1+1.995) = 474.80 bps
7. (20 points) A digital signaling system is required to operate at 14400 bps.
If a signal element encodes a 4-bit word (M=24=16), what is the minimum required
bandwidth of the channel? Using Nyquist's equation: C = 2B log2M
Answer:
Based on the channel capacity formula
C = 2B log2(M)
We have
B = C/{2 log2(M)}--------------eq1
M = 16
C = 14400 bps
B = C/{2 log2(M)} = 14400 / {2 log2(16)} = 1800 Hz
