Q1. [CO3]: The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) has 128
characters, which are binary coded. If a certain computer generates 100,000 characters per
second, determine the following:
(a) The number of bits (binary digits) required per character.
(b) The number of bits per second required to transmit the computer output, and the minimum
bandwidth required to transmit this signal.
(c) For single error-detection capability, an additional bit (parity bit) is added to the code of
each character. Modify your answers in parts (a) & (b) in view of this information.

Q2. [CO3]: A compact disc (CD) records audio signal digitally by using PCM. Assume the
audio signal bandwidth to be 15 kHz.
(a) What is the Nyquist rate?
(b) If the Nyquist samples are quantized into L=65,536 levels and then binary coded,
determine the number of binary digits required to encode a sample.
(c) Determine the number of binary digits per second (bits/s) required to encode the audio
signal.
(d) For practical reasons discussed in the text, signals are sampled at a rate well above the
Nyquist rate. Practical CDs use 44,100 samples per second. If L=65,536, determine the
number of bits per second required to encode the signal, and the minimum bandwidth required
to transmit the encoded signal.

Q3. [CO3]: 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.
(a) Determine the sampling rate if the signal is to be sampled at a rate 20% above the Nyquist
rate.
(b) If the samples are quantized into 1024 levels, determine the number of binary pulses
required to encode each sample.
(c) Determine the binary pulse rate (bits per second) of the binary–coded signal, and the
minimum bandwidth required to transmit this signal.

Q4. [CO3]: Five telemetry signals, each of bandwidth 4 kHz, are to be transmitted
simultaneously by binary PCM. The maximum tolerable error in sample amplitudes is 2% of
the peak signal amplitude. The signals must be sampled at least 20% above the Nyquist rate.
Framing and synchronizing requires an additional 2% extra bits. Determine the minimum
possible data rate (bits per second) that must be transmitted, and the minimum bandwidth
required to transmit the signal.

Q5. [CO3]: It is desired to set up a central station for simultaneous monitoring of the
electrocardiograms (ECG) of 10 hospital patients. The data from the rooms of the patients are
brought to a processing center over wires and are sampled, quantized, binary coded and time
division multiplexed. The multiplexed data are now transmitted to the monitoring station as
shown in Fig. 1.

Figure 1: Centralized system for simultaneous ECG monitoring

The ECG signal bandwidth is 100 Hz. The maximum acceptable error in sample amplitudes is
0.25% of the peak signal amplitude. The sampling rate must be at least twice the Nyquist rate.
Determine the minimum cable bandwidth needed to transmit these data.

Q6. [CO3]: Derive the expression for maximum signal to quantization noise ratio for the
sinusoidal message signal. Assume there is no slope overloading problem in DM.

Q7. [CO3]: A binary PAM wave is to be transmitted over a low pass channel with an absolute
maximum bandwidth of 75 KHz. The bit duration is 10 μs. Find a raised cosine spectrum that
satisfies these requirements.

Q8. [CO3]: In a certain telemetry system, eight message signals having 2 KHz bandwidth
each are time division multiplexed using a binary PCM. The error in sampling amplitude
cannot be greater than 1 percent of the peak amplitude. Determine the minimum transmission
bandwidth required if raised cosine pulses with roll off factor α=0.2 are used. The sampling
rate must be at least 25 percent above the Nyquist rate.

Common questions

Adding a parity bit increases the number of bits per character from 7 to 8. Consequently, the data transmission rate is increased from 700,000 bits per second to 800,000 bits per second ().

To meet a 75 kHz bandwidth, a raised cosine filter with roll-off factor α should be chosen to ensure the spectral occupancy aligns with channel constraints. For a bit duration of 10 μs, the symbol rate is 100 kHz, and adjusting α can optimize spectrum to avoid symbol interference ().

With an ECG bandwidth of 100 Hz, the Nyquist rate is 200 Hz. Doubling gives a sampling rate of 400 Hz. For 10 patients at least twice the Nyquist rate, the minimum bandwidth required is 8,000 Hz or 8 kHz ().

The Nyquist rate for a signal with a bandwidth of 15 kHz is 30 kHz (). To encode a sample with 65,536 quantization levels requires 16 bits, as log2(65,536) = 16 ().

The maximum SQNR for sinusoidal signals in quantization can be expressed as SQNR = (3/2) * (2^2L), where L is the number of quantization levels. This assumes uniform distribution of quantization error without slope overload ().

Sampling at 44,100 samples per second instead of the Nyquist rate (30,000) increases the number of bits per second to 705,600 bps when using 16 bits per sample (). The minimum bandwidth needed for this signal is 352.8 kHz ().

ASCII requires 7 bits to encode each character because it is designed for 128 characters (). Therefore, if a computer generates 100,000 characters per second, the transmission rate is 700,000 bits per second without any parity bits ().

Quantizing into 1024 levels requires 10 bits per sample (as log2(1024) = 10) (). Assuming the sampling rate is 10.8 MHz, the binary pulse rate is 108 million bits per second, resulting in a minimum bandwidth of 54 MHz required to transmit the signal ().

The Nyquist rate for a 4.5 MHz bandwidth is 9 MHz. Sampling 20% above this rate results in a sampling rate of 10.8 MHz ().

The Nyquist rate for 4 kHz is 8 kHz. Sampling 20% above gives a rate of 9.6 kHz. With a 2% amplitude error, 12 bits are used (10 bits for precision + 2 extra bits for framing), resulting in a minimum data rate of 576,000 bits per second after adding the 2% extra bits ().
