1) A sinusoidal signal 𝑥(𝑡) = cos(2𝜋 × 103 𝑡) + cos(𝜋 × 103 𝑡) is sampled at a rate of
1500 samples per second. The sampled signal is passed through an ideal low pass filter
(LPF) with cut off frequency at 750 Hz. Sketch the spectrum and determine the LPF
output frequency/frequencies.
2) a)Consider binary PCM transmission of a video signal with 𝑓𝑠 = 10𝑀𝐻𝑧. Calculate
the signalling rate needed to achieve (𝑆𝑅𝑁)𝑜 ≥ 45𝑑𝐵.
b)Consider an audio signal with spectral components limited to the frequency band of
300 Hz to 3300 Hz. A PCM signal is generated with a sampling rate of 8000 samples/s.
The required output signal-to-quantization-noise ratio is 30 dB.
(i) What is the minimum number of uniform quantization levels needed and what is the
minimum number of bits per sample is needed?
(ii) Calculate the minimum system bandwidth is required.
3) In a single-integration DM system, the voice signal is sampled at a rate of 64 kHz,
similar to PCM. The maximum signal amplitude is normalized to 1 V.
a) Determine the minimum value of step size to avoid slope overload distortion.
b) Assume the voice signal is sinusoidal then compute SNR.
c) Determine the transmission bandwidth.
4) Three signals 𝑆1 (𝑡),𝑆2 (𝑡)𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑆3 (𝑡) are shown in Figure 1.
(i) Using the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure find the orthonormal
basis function.
