1 Assume an analog signal x(t), sampled by a train of impulses at a sampling rate of f s= 2fm, 10
a) where fm is the maximum frequency. Derive the expression for the sampled signal in the
frequency domain. Explain the spectrum of the sampled signal with fs= 2fm, fs > 2fm and fs <
2fm.
1 Consider an audio signal x(𝑡), which is to be sampled, quantized, encoded and transmitted 10
b) through the channel.
i) Calculate the Nyquist rate?
ii) Consider any arbitrary spectrum for x(𝑡). Draw the spectrum of the sampled
audio signal.
iii) If the signal is sampled below the Nyquist rate, what is the corresponding effect?
Explain the effect using spectral analysis.
iv) Consider that a power line signal with a maximum frequency of 40 kHz is
added to the audio signal. Assume that the resultant signal is sampled using
critical sampling. Is there any possibility of aliasing effect? If yes, how can it be
rectified?
v) How the original audio signal can be reconstructed at the receiver? What type of
filter you will prefer? Specify the ideal and practical bandwidths of the required
filter.

a) encoded PCM is to have an average signal to noise ratio of at least 28 dB. For how
many minutes the PCM data can be stored on the hard disk?
SQN=1.8+6n,,,,28dB=1.8+6n
n=5 bits
Signaling Rate=nfs=40 kbps
In PCM=56MB/40 kbps=186 mins or 11200 secs
2) Consider a delta modulation system designed to accommodate analog message
signals limited to bandwidth of 5 kHz. A sinusoidal test signal of amplitude is 1 volt
and frequency of 1 kHz is applied to the system. The sampling rate of system is 50
kHz.
1. Calculate the step size required to minimize slope overload.
2. Calculate the signal to noise ratio of the system for the

specified sinusoidal test signal.

b) digital transmission.
(i) What is the maximum allowable time interval between sample values that will
ensure perfect signal reproduction?
(ii) If we want to reproduce 1 hour of this waveform, how many samples values need
to be stored?
b) Name the Line coding method and draw the corresponding line coded signal for a binary bit
stream ‘00101101’, where ‘a’ is the peak amplitude, and ‘T’ is duration of one bit
