Requirements for this examination:
Note to Candidates: Please check the Programme Title and the Module Title to ensure that you have received the correct examination paper. If in doubt please contact an Invigilator.
Q1. (a) Explain the difference between natural and flat top sampling using time and frequency diagrams. Are there any forms of distortion present and if so explain? [12 marks]
(b) A signal
is sampled by a pulse train represented by the following series,
0
() cos n
where f 0 is 5kHz.
(i) Determine the minimum sampling rate for the given signal. [2 marks] (ii) Show that the modulated signal consists of multiple side-frequency pairs. [4 marks] (iii) Draw the amplitude spectrum of the sampled signal when the sample rate is twice the minimum rate. [4 marks] (iv) What is the cutoff frequency required for the data recovery filter in this case? [3 marks]
Q2. (a) Explain the use of companding in PCM systems. [10 marks]
(b) Show that the quantization noise power for a linear PCM system is given by 12
Nq = [10 marks]
(c) A stereo PCM codec is required for an audio mastering application. If the audio signal is to be band limited to 20 kHz, and the dynamic range must exceed 120 dB determine the resulting data rate for a linear converter operating at the Nyquist rate [5 marks]
Q6. (a) Draw block diagrams for an FSK transmitter and receiver and explain their operation. [12 marks] (b) An FSK signal consists of bursts of frequency of 800 kHz and 900 kHz with the higher frequency used to transmit a mark and the lower to transmit a space. The bit rate is two kbps. Sketch the spectrum of the signal and calculate the bandwidth. [7 marks] (c) A radio channel is implemented with a raised cosine response having a roll-off factor of 0.4 and absolute bandwidth of 850 kHz. If 16 QAM is used to transmit 8 bit samples, determine the maximum sample rate and the maximum signal bandwidth. [6 marks]
