1. The coder part of the codec and demodulator part of the codec are
way too different from each other. Write on some aspects of the
difference between both of them.

2. The Nyquist theorem is one of the deciding factor in data

communication. The fibre optics as well as the copper wires are
communication mediums. Do you think the theorem is valid for the
fiber optics or for the copper wires.

3. Noise affects all the signals which are there in air. There are some
communicating modulation techniques. Noise affects which of the
modulation technique the most.

4. Convert the following bit stream using Manchester and differential

modulation techniques.

a) 1111

b) 0101

c) 0000

d) 1100

5. The DC component plays a role in designing encoding scheme. Can we

relate the DC component’s effect on all the encoding schemes? Justify
your answer by giving an example.

6. Multiplexing technique is used for combining the multiple channels into

one channel.

Write the factors on which the combination is happening.

7. There are numerous multiplexing techniques available. What in your
opinion is the most appropriate multiplexing technique for the fiber
optics as well as copper wires?

8. While transferring the data from the transmission medium there are
various aspects of your data getting tempered by other users. What in
your opinion is the most secure and insecure transmission medium?
Justify your answer with an example.
