Digital modulation, Impairments and Antenna Theory

1. Show that two BPSK signals can operate simultaneously over the same channel by using quadrature (sine
and cosine) carriers. Give the block diagrams for the transmitters and receivers. What is the data rate as
a function of bandwidth?

2. Compare spectral efficiencies of QPSK, MSK, 16-ary QAM and 64-ary QAM. Then discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of each.

3. The input data to a DPSK transmitter is 1 1 0 1. Determine the DPSK digital data stream and the DPSK
RF output.

4. Calculate the noise voltage output of a 1MΩ at 27°C over a 300kHz range.

5. An amplifier with NF = 6 dB has a Si/Ni of 25 dB. Calculate the So/No in dB and as a ratio.

6. A three-stage amplifier has an input stage with noise ratio (NR) = 5 and power gain = 50. Stages 2 and 3
have NR = 10 and PG = 1000. Calculate the NF for the overall system.
