Digital Modulation
Lab 1 Report
1.) There are more levels observed in the recovered PAM signal in step 2
compared to the recovered PAM signal in step 1 because of in step 1
we were working with 2.5 V peak-to-peak input signal, and this
amplitute is not enough to reach to upper and lower levels.

2.) 24=16 levels. When we are working with 5 V peak-to-peal input signal
we exactly observed 16 levels.
4.)In step 5 we changed the cut-off frequency of low pass fitler to 1900Hz
and we easily obsevered the orginal signal’s spectra. In step we observed
original and the other modulated signals.
5.) When we worked with 8-bit words we observed that it is closer to original
input signal because in 8-bit there are 28=256 sampling levels. It means 8-bit
rate of sampling is faster than 4-bit.

RESEARCH REPORT
1.) In digital telephone networks sampling rate is 8000Hz . Audio CDs sampling rate
is 44.100 Hz (vcd , svcd, mp3) but for lower quality records there are using
11025Hz sampling rate.

2.) There are many digital aplication which we are using in our lifes , like
communication systems , factory sytems, game consoles , cds, dvds, etc.. Every
application has their own sampling rate because this is depends on what you want
to do some times it is enough to use low sampling rates if your input signal is
periodic and if there is no too much data on your signal. But if your input signal is
not periodic and if there is many peaks in your signal you should use high
sampling rate like if you want to sample a music you should use high sampling rate
for the record the music as it original sound.

3.) When we reduce the sampling rate and the number of bits per sample we
move away from the original signal, however reducing bit per sample
means you get low data to keep in storages. So we should find the best “
sampling rate/data” for our application.
