SUBJECT: DIGITAL COMMUNICATION (EC1503)
ASSIGNMENT: 1

1. Explain the requirements of modulation in the digital communication system

2 Draw and briefly explain the block diagram of digital communication system

3. Write down the mathematical expression for 𝝁 − law compressor.

4 Find the nyquist rate of the following

(i) sin2 (4π × 103 t)cos(12π × 103 t)

(ii) sinc(400t)*sinc(600t) (where ‘*’ represents convolution operation )
(iii) sin(4π × 103 t)cos(12π × 103 t)
(iv) 10sin (8π × 103 t)
(v) 6sin(4π × 103 t) + 8cos(12π × 103 t)

3. A message signal of 8sin(8π × 103 t) is transmitted through 4 bit PCM system.

Sampling rate is 50% higher than nyquist rate. Calculate the value of transmission
bandwidth.

5. A message signal of 10 cos(8π × 103 t) is transmitted through the 4 bit PCM system. Find
the bandwidth, Tb, R b [Q e ]max , fs and step size.
