detection of BPSK. (15M)
(OR)
b) Explain in detail about quadrature phases shift keying and also explain the gener ation and
detection of QPSK. (15M)

12 a) Consider a systematic block code whose parity check equation are

P1=m1+m2+m4, P2=m1+m3+m4. P3=m1+m2+m3, P4=m2+m3+m4
Where mi is the message digits and Pi are the parity digits.
1)Find the generator and parity check matrix for this code.
2) How many errors can be detected and corrected ?
3) If the received code word is 10101010 find the syndrome. (15M)
(OR)
b) A rate 1/3 convolution encoder has generating vectors as g1=(1 0 0),g2=(1 1 1) and g3=(1 0 1).
i) sketch the encoder configuration
ii) Draw the code tree , State diagram and trellis diagram
iii) If input message sequence is 101010,determine the output sequence of the encoder. (15M)
