What are the various types of amplitude modulation techniques? Give their relative merits and demerits. Draw and explain the circuits for generating AM & AM-SC using balanced modulators. Discuss the bandwidth requirements for phase modulation system as compared to frequency modulation system. A FM radio link has frequency deviation of 30 KHz. The modulating frequency is 3 KHz. Calculate the bandwidth needed for the link. What will be the bandwidth if the deviation is reduced to 15 KHz? Compare PWM and PPM. What is the role of holding circuit in pulse modulation system? In a PCM system, the output of the transmitter quantizes in digital. Then why is it further encoded. Pulse modulation systems are not digital, whereas pulse code modulation is justify. What happens to the bandwidth of an M-ary PSK as N increases? Why is it necessary to further modulate the digital signals? Explain the concept of negative entropy. What is the significance of Shannon limit? How can it be increased? In a convolution code encoder. Why is the data entered from the MSB side? The generator polynomial of a (7, 4) cyclic code is . Find the 16 code words of this code.
