1) A message signal with frequency 3 kHz is sampled at a rate higher than 70% than the Nyquist rate.

If 512 level quantization is used to transmit the signal using PCM, what is the bit rate of the
system?

70
Hint: Sampling Frequency, 𝐹𝐹𝑠𝑠 = 6 + 6 × 100 = 1.7 × 6 = 10.2 𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 and Bit rate 𝑅𝑅𝑏𝑏 = 𝑛𝑛𝐹𝐹𝑠𝑠 , where n
is the number of bit used to encode a sample.

2) Three analog signals having bandwidths 1200, 600, 600 Hz are sampled at their Nyquist rates,
encoded with 12 bit words and time division multiplexed, Find the bit rate for the multiplexed
signal.

Hint: Bandwidth of time division multiplexed signal, 𝐹𝐹𝑀𝑀 = 1200 + 600 + 600 = 2400 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻

3) An analog signal having a bandwidth of 4 kHz is converted to PCM signal using sampling at a rate
of 20% above the Nyquist rate. The samples are quantized into 1024 levels. Determine whether a
channel of capacity of 50 kbps is sufficient for transmitting the PCM signal or not.

Hint: determine bit rate 𝑅𝑅𝑏𝑏 . If required bit rate is greater than 50 kbps, then channel capacity is
not enough.

4) 𝑚𝑚(𝑡𝑡) = 3 sin 6000𝜋𝜋𝑡𝑡 + 4 sin 12000𝜋𝜋𝑡𝑡 . What is the minimum sampling rate of m(t) according to
Nyquist Sampling theorem? If 20 kHz sampling frequency and 16 bit encoding are used, what is
the data rate for the system?

5) The signal 𝑥𝑥(𝑡𝑡) = sin 3400𝜋𝜋𝑡𝑡 + 2 sin 6900𝜋𝜋𝑡𝑡 has been band limited within 300-3400 Hz. If this
signal is sampled at Nyquist rate, what will be the data rate if this signal is encoded with 512 level
uniform quantization?

Hint: Since the signal is band limited to 3400 Hz, the maximum signal of message signal is 3400
Hz.

6) A television signal (video and audio) has a bandwidth of 4.5 MHz . This signal is sampled,
quantized and binary coded to obtain a PCM signal.

(b) If the samples are quantized into 1024 levels, determine the minimum bandwidth required to
transmit the signal.

Hint : for (b), minimum bandwidth required = bit rate / 2

multiplexed and uses a 265 level quantizer, considering the standard sampling for telephone

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 .
