If the bits 0 and 1 are transmitted using bipolar pulses, the minimum bandwidth required for distortion free transmission is (A) 64 kHz (B) 32 kHz (C) 8 kHz (D) 4 kHz

SOL 1.71

Hence (B) is correct option. fm = 4 KHz fs = 2fm = 8 kHz Bit Rate Rb = nfs = 8 # 8 = 64 kbps The minimum transmission bandwidth is BW = Rb = 32 kHz 2 Assuming the signal to be uniformly distributed between its peak to peak value, the signal to noise ratio at the quantizer output is (A) 16 dB (B) 32 dB (C) 48 dB (D) 4 kHz

MCQ 1.72

SOL 1.72

Hence (C) is correct option. S0 c N m = 1.76 + 6n dB 0 = 1.76 + 6 # 8 = 49.76 dB We have n = 8 The number of quantization levels required to reduce the quantization noise by a factor of 4 wo (A) 1024 (B) 512 (C) 256 (D) 64

MCQ 1.73

SOL 1.73

Hence (B) is correct option. As Noise \ 12 L To reduce quantization noise by factor 4, quantization level must be two times i.e. 2L . Now L = 2n = 28 = 256 Thus 2L = 512
