PROBLEMS OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Prob 1. A sine wave with zero amplitude after 3/4 cycle and increasing. What is
its phase in degrees and radians?
Prob 2. A nonperiodic composite signal has a bandwidth of 200 kHz, with a
middle frequency of 140 kHz and peak amplitude of 20V. The two extreme
frequencies have an amplitude of 0V. Determine the highest frequency, the lowest
frequency.
Prob 3. We need to send 280 kbps over a noiseless (ideal) channel with a
bandwidth of 20 kHz. Besides, we need to sample the signal at twice the highest
frequency (two samples per hertz). How many signal levels do we need? Assume
that the transmission bandwidth is baseband and is equal to half the bit rate (see
Chapter 4 for details).
Prob 4. What is the bit rate for each of the following signals?
a. A signal in which 1 bit lasts 0.001 s
b. A signal in which 1 bit lasts 2 ms
c. A signal in which 10 bits last 20 μs
Prob 5. 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.
