1. A telephone line has a bandwidth of 3 kHz is used to transmit binary data. Calculate the data
rate in bits per sec that can be transmitted if we use:
(a) Polar signal with rectangular quarter-width pulses
(b) Bipolar signal with rectangular half width pulses
(c) Bipolar signal with rectangular full-width pulses

[01]

2. The Fourier transform P(f) of a basis pulse p(t) used for a certain binary communication is
given by  !
10−6 1 − |f | , if − 106 ≤ f (Hz) ≤ 106 ,

106
P (f ) = (1)

0, otherwise


Check whether this pulse satisfies the Nyquist criteria for zero ISI
Find out p(t)
If the pulse satisfies Nyquist criteria then what is the transmission rate and what is the roll-off
factor

Ans: yes, sinc2 (106 t), r = 1;

3. In Digital Communication System class someone find out the autocorrelation of a function.
Determine which of the autocorrelation functions really represents the correct answer (Clue:
Use properties of autocorrelation)
(a) (
1, f or − 1 ≤ τ ≤ 1,
x(τ ) = (2)
0, otherwise
(b)
x(τ ) = δ(τ ) + sin(2πf0 τ ) (3)

(c)
x(τ ) = exp(|τ |) (4)
(d) (
1 − |τ | f or − 1 ≤ τ ≤ 1,
x(τ ) = (5)
0, otherwise

4. In Digital Communication System class the same student find out the POwer Spectral Density
(PSD) of a function. Check which among the following functions really represents the PSD?
(Clue: use properties of PSD)
(a) X(f) = δ(f ) + cos2 (2πf )
(b) X(f) = 10 +δ(f − 10)
(c) X(f) = e(−2π|f −10|)

(d) e[−2π(f −10)]

5. Convert your roll number to binary form ( 4 bit sequence) take only the numbers in your roll
number and draw the line coding scheme for Unipolar, Polar, Bipolar, Manchester, for NRZ
and RZ cases (eg: Your roll number = 18BEC1238 take 181238 and convert each interger into
4 bit binary sequence = 0001 1000 0001 0010 0011 1000)
[01]

6. Find PSDs for On-Off signaling, when the basic pulse p(t) is a full-width rectangular pulse,
that is , p(t) = rect(t/Tb )

Ans: T4b sinc2 ( ωT π

2 ) + 2 δω
b

7. Find PSDs for polar signaling, when the basic pulse p(t) is a full-width rectangular pulse, that
is , p(t) = rect(t/Tb )

Tb sinc2 ( ωT
2 )
b

[01]

8. If the following pulse is used as the basic pulse for a Manchester signaling scheme, then the
power spectral desnity of the transmitted binary sequence is

Tb sinc2 ( ωT 2 ωTb
4 )sin ( 4 )
b
