Assignment Five Due date: May 17, 2016

1) Consider the three signal waveforms {φ1(t), φ2(t), φ3(t)} shown in Figure below.
a) Show that these waveforms are orthonormal.
b) Express the waveform x(t) as a linear combination of {φi(t)} and find the
coefficients, where x(t) is given as
2 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 2,
𝑥(𝑡) =
4 2 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 4.

2) Consider the four signal waveforms as shown in Figure below.

a) Determine a set of basis functions for these waveforms.
b) Use the basis functions to represent the four waveforms by vectors.
c) Determine the minimum distance between all the vector pairs.

3) Consider the sequence 01001011100111110100 to be transmitted from a transmitter

a) Assuming a 4-ary pulse-amplitude modulation system, draw the waveform
generated by it when transmitting. State all your assumptions clearly and use
Matlab the plots.
b) Repeat (a) for the case that 4-Phase Shift Keying is used.
