1. The bit rate of the digital communication system is M kbps. The modulation used is 16 QAM. The minimum bandwidth required for ideal transmission is _________.
M/2 kHz
M/16 kHz
M kHz
M/8 kHz
Answer.1. M/2 kHz
Explanation:-
In the M-Array modulation scheme, the minimum bandwidth required for ideal transmission is given by:
So. The minimum bandwidth will be M/2 kHz, for ideal transmission.
2. Arrange in increasing order of Null-to-Null bandwidth (Hz) of the following binary bandpass signals.
(i) QPSK
(ii) MSK
(iii) FSK
(iv) ASK
(iii), (iv), (ii), (i)
(iv), (i), (ii), (iii)
(i), (ii), (iv), (iii)
(iv), (ii), (i), (iii)
Answer.3. (i), (ii), (iv), (iii)
Explanation:-
For ASK: BWASK = 2Rb
For M-PSK BW is calculated as:
$Bandwidth = \frac{{2{R_b}}}{{{{\log }_2}M}}$
For QPSK M = 4 bandwidth = Rb
For FSK: BWFSK = 2Rb + |f1 − f2|
f1 and f2 are the two lower and upper frequencies.
for MSK bandwidth B = 1.5 Rb
f1 and f2 are the two lower and upper frequencies.
Observation:
BWQPSK < BWMSK < BWASK< BWFSK
3. Wavelength and antenna size are related as
λ/2
λ/4
2λ
4λ
Answer.2. λ/4
Explanation:-
The length of the antenna is inversely proportional to the frequency and directly proportional to the wavelength. The higher the frequency and the shorter the wavelength, the shorter the antenna can be made.
The transmission of Em field in space is done with the help of antennas. Antenna size depends on the wavelength. The length of the antenna is equal to λ/4.
4. ________ is mostly preferred for telegraphy.
Single-tone modulation
On-off keying
Frequency shift keying
Pulse code modulation
Answer.3. Frequency shift keying
Explanation:-
FSK is a system of frequency modulation in which the nominal unmodulated carrier frequency corresponds to the mark condition, and space is represented by a downward frequency shift
In the FSK generator, the frequency shift may be obtained by applying the varying dc output of the telegraph machine to a varactor diode in a crystal oscillator
At the receiving end, the signal is demultiplexed and applied to a standard phase discriminator
This is how a telegraph works with FSK modulation
5. The number of bit strings of length 10 that contain either five consecutive 0’s or five consecutive 1’s is
64
112
220
222
Answer.4. 222
Explanation:-
Observe the first 5 consecutive 0s
Summation rule: the first 5 consecutive 0’s could start at position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
Start at the first position
The other 5 bits can be anything: 25 = 32
Start at the second position
The first bit must be a 1
There are various possibilities that can be included in it.
The remaining bits can be anything: 24 = 16
Start at third position
The second bit must be a 1 due to the above-mentioned reason.
First bit and last 3 bits can be anything: 24 = 16
Starting at 4,5 and 6 positions
Same as starting at positions 2 or 3: 16 each
Total = 32 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 + 16 = 112
The five consecutive 1’s ensue the same pattern and have different like 112 possibilities
There would be two cases counted twice (that we thus need to exclude): 0000011111 and 1111100000
Total = 112 + 112 – 2 = 222
6. The detection method where the carrier’s phase is given importance is called as
Coherent detection
Non-coherent detection
Coherent detection & Non-coherent detection
None of the mentioned
Answer.1. Coherent detection
Explanation:-
Coherent detection originates from radio communications, where a local carrier mixes with the received radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a product term. As a result, the received RF signal can be frequency translated and demodulated.
When the receiver uses the carrier’s phase as the major factor for detection then it is called coherent detection and when the carrier is not given the importance it is called non-coherent detection.
7. Multiplexing scheme which uses carrier phase shifting and synchronous detection to permit two DSB signals to occupy the same frequency band is called
NBFM
CDMA
QAM
FDMA
Answer.3. QAM
Explanation:-
QAM is a mixture of both ASK and PSK.
2) QAM uses two carrier signals with the same frequency but with which are in quadrature. Quadrature here means out phase by 90°.
3) Since the two signals have the same frequency, they are detected using synchronous detection.
4) Hence, amplitude and the phase of the carrier frequency both vary with the message signal.
8. In PSK, binary 1 is represented with the ______
Actual Carrier
Temporary Carrier
Power Carrier
None of the above
Answer.1. Actual Carrier
Explanation:-
PSK: It stands for phase shift keying.
In PSK, binary 1 is represented with the actual carrier, and 0 is represented with the 180o phase shift of carrier.
1 is represented as s(t) = Accos(2πfct)
0 is represented as s(t) = – Accos(2πfct)
As in PSK, one bit is transmitted in a specific time constant.
Similarly, in 16 PSK, log2(16) = 4 bits are transmitted in a specific time constant which is known as 16-ary PSK.
9. The coherent modulation techniques are
PSK
FSK
ASK
All of the mentioned
Answer.4. All of the mentioned
Explanation:-
Coherent Modulation is a technique that uses modulation of Amplitude and Phase of light, as well as transmission across two polarizations to enable transport of more information across the optical fiber.
Some of the examples of coherent modulation techniques are phase-shift keying, amplitude shift keying, frequency-shift keying, and continuous phase modulation.
10. Which of the following has the least noise immunity?
QAM
ASK
FSK
PSK
Answer.2. ASK
Explanation:-
In ASK two states (logic high and logic low) in the envelope (modulated signal) exist. A 1 represents logic high, and a 0 represents logic low. ASK can provide a high data rate but has low noise immunity.
