1. Given an angle modulated signal s(t) = 10 cos(ωc t + 3 sin ωm t). Determine the modulation index
and find the bandwidth in following conditions: [10 marks ]
(a) Assume PM, and when fm is doubled.
(b) Assume FM, and when fm is decreased by one half.
2. For typical quantizer, amplitude of input signal m(t) is distributed in the range of (−Mp , +Mp ).
This range is divided in L levels having stepsize 4. [10 marks ]
(a) Derive the expression for the quantization error in terms of Mp & L
(b) Sketch the input/output characteristics for this quantizer.

3. Find the orthonormal basis for the set of signals shown in Figure 1. [10 marks ]

Figure 1:

4. In a single integration delta modulation (DM) scheme, the voice sample is sampled at a rate of
64 kHz. The maximum signal amplitude is 1 V. Determine the minimum value of the step size to
avoid slope overload. [10 marks ]

5. A TV signal (video & audio) has bandwidth of 3.5 MHz. This signal is sampled, quantized and
binary coded to obtain a PCM signal. [10 marks ]
(a) Determine the sample rate if the signal is sampled at a rate of 20% above the Nyquist rate.
(b) If the samples are quantized into 1024 levels, determine the number of binary pulses required
to encode the signal.
