Test: Digital Communications - 2 - Question 2

X is a binary memory less source with p (x = 0) = 0.3. If the source is transmitted over a BSC with cross-over probability = 0.1, then the capacity of the channel is

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Test: Digital Communications - 2 - Question 4

In a Binary digital communication system, the threshold voltage of comparator is 'x' volts and voltage at input of comparator is uniformly distributed in the range of x-0.5 to x+0.25 when '0' is transmitted and it is in the range x-0.25 to x+0.5 when bit '1' is transmitted, the average probability of error in the system is_____________


Detailed Solution: Question 4

Probability density function of f (z/0) is

When '0' is transmitted, it will be detected as '1' with probability


Average probability of error = 0.

Test: Digital Communications - 2 - Question 5

If probability of error of PSK signal is 'x', then what will be probability of error of FSK and ASK signal. (Assume x =

Detailed Solution: Question 5

As Q-function is not linear operator, we cannot find the probability errors of FSK and ASK with probability error of PSK

Test: Digital Communications - 2 - Question 6

If input to matched filter is s(t) = f(t)+ 2f (t)δ(t - 0.5) + f(t - 2.5)*8δ(t+ 0.5)

where f(t) is shown below, then determine the impulse response of matched filter h(t) ; 2 5 ≤ t < 3

(Note: δ is Delta function and * is convolution operator)

Detailed Solution: Question 6

2f (t)6(t - 0.5) = 2f(0.5) = 2x1 = 2 f(t-2.5)*6(t+ 0.5) = f(t-(2.5- 0.5))

=f(t-2)

s(t)=f(t)+f(t-2)+2

= -2f +6 ;

so, b) is correct option

Test: Digital Communications - 2 - Question 7

Match the following:

Modulation             Type of signaling format to be

technique                     used for modulation

  1. ASK               (a)       ON-OFF

  2. PSK                (b)       Non return to zero

  3. FSK                (c)       Return to zero

  4. DPSK

  5. QPSK

Detailed Solution: Question 7

A.S.K signal will be present when 11' is transmitted and absent when '0' is transmitted hence ON -

OFF

In P.S.K for phase reversal a non return to zero format will be used

In FSK

fi (t) = fc (t)+ kfAv             for '1'

fc (t) kfAv              for '0'

hence non return to zero

In D.P.S.K the output of differential enconder will be in ON - OFF format which is than modified using Amplitude level shifting to get NRZ format

In Q.P.S.K

For '10'

Ac cos 27tfct - Ac si n 2/rfct . Hence NRZ
