Find the maximum dynamic range for a linear PCM system using 16-bit
quantizing.
Choices:
a. 4.82 dB b. 25.84 dB c. 51.68 dB d. 98.08 dB

ANSWER:
d. 98.08 dB
DR = 1.76 + 6.02m; dB

QUESTION:
Compute the baud rate for a 72000 bps 64-QAM signal.
Choices:
a. 12000 baud b. 1200 baud c. 120000 baud d. 12 baud

ANSWER:
a. 12000 baud
A 64-QAM signal means that there are 6 bits per signal element since 2 6 = 64.
Therefore, baud rate = 72000/6
baud rate = 12000 baud

QUESTION:
A telephone signal takes 2ms to reach its destination. Calculate the via net
loss required for an acceptable amount of echo.
Choices:
a.0.6 dB b. 1 dB c. 0.4 dB d. 0.8 dB

ANSWER:
d. 0.8 dB
VNL = 0.2t + 0.4dB
VNL = 0.2 (2ms) + 0.4 dB
VNL = 0.8 dB
