Q1. When the modulating frequency in a FM system is 400Hz, Em =2.4V and mf =60,
(a) Calculate Maximum frequency deviation.
(b) Compute the modulation Index when fm is reduced to 250 Hz and modulating voltage
=3.2V

Q2. With the help of a neat block diagram, explain how FM can be generated using a Phase
Modulator.

Q3. The general expression for figure of merit of a FM receiver is given by:
2 2
3 k f f (t)
γ FM = 2
ωm
A single tone modulating signal, f ( t )=E m cos ωm t phase modulates a carrier A cos ω c t . [kf –
is frequency modulation constant]. Verify that the figure of merit for this case is:
3 2
γ FM = mf
2

Q4. With the help of a neat diagram derive the expression for Mean square Quantization error.
Q5. Given audio signal with spectral components in range of 300 -4000Hz, the sampling rate
being 10KHz, draw the block diagram of the PCM system indicating specifications of each
block. The required SNR is to be at least 30dB.
