1. The bandwidth of a signal is 4 kHz and we want to transmit it over a channel in PCM form using
Nyquist rate sampling.

a) If the available bandwidth is 60 kHz, what is the average signal to quantization noise
ratio in dB?
b) What is the average SNR in dB at the receiver if the available channel bandwidth is
again 60 kHz but the channel is noisy o that the bit error rate at the receiver is 104
?
c) If we want that quantization noise is approximately 0.1 percent of the peak-to-
peak analog level, what is the average SNR in dB and the null channel bandwidth
needed?

2. Suppose that a signal x(t) with dynamic range (-5,5) volts is applied to a 3-bit midriser.

a. Plot the transfer function;

b. Determine the quantized values of 0.25V and -3.6V.
