PCM Signal Bit Rate Calculations
PCM Signal Bit Rate Calculations
The total bandwidth for the multiplexed signal is the sum of the individual bandwidths, 1200 Hz + 600 Hz + 600 Hz = 2400 Hz . Each band is sampled at its Nyquist rate; hence each is represented with 12-bit words. Therefore, the bit rate for one signal is its bandwidth times the bit depth. The total bit rate is (1200 + 600 + 600) * 12 bits = 28,800 bps .
The Nyquist rate for a 3 kHz signal is 6 kHz. Sampling at 70% above the Nyquist rate means the sampling frequency is 10.2 kHz . Since 512 levels of quantization are used, it implies each sample is encoded with 9 bits (since 512 = 2^9). Therefore, the bit rate, Rb, is calculated as 9 bits/sample * 10.2 kHz = 91.8 kbps .
The signal's maximum frequency is 3400 Hz, so the Nyquist rate is 6.8 kHz . Using 512 levels means 9 bits are needed per sample. Thus, the data rate is 6.8 kHz * 9 bits/sample = 61.2 kbps .
The Nyquist rate is 9 MHz for a 4.5 MHz bandwidth. Sampling 20% above gives 10.8 MHz . With 1024 levels, 10 bits are used, so the bit rate is 108 Mbps. Bandwidth needed is half of bit rate, i.e., 54 MHz .
Each voice channel bandwidth is equivalent to its Nyquist rate, 6.8 kHz, for telephone system sampling . With 256 levels (approximately considering 265), requiring 8 bits/sample, giving a bit rate of 54.4 kbps per channel. For 15 channels, the binary encoded signal bandwidth is 15 * 54.4 kbps = 816 kbps .
For a 4 kHz signal, the Nyquist rate is 8 kHz. Sampling 20% above gives a rate of 9.6 kHz . Using 1024 levels quantization requires 10 bits per sample (since 1024 = 2^10). The bit rate is 9.6 kHz * 10 bits/sample = 96 kbps . Since 96 kbps exceeds the 50 kbps channel capacity, the channel is insufficient .
The highest frequency in m(t) is 6 kHz (from 12000πt), giving a Nyquist rate of 12 kHz . If sampled at 20 kHz with 16-bit encoding, the data rate is 20 kHz * 16 bits/sample = 320 kbps .
