1. What is the need for modulation?It is extremely difficult to radiate low frequency signals through earths
atmosphere in the form of electromagnetic energy.
At low frequency, the antenna size required becomes impractical.
Information signals often occupy the same frequency band. Signals from
two or more sources would interfere if they are not modulated and
translated to a different frequency band.

and reject all others.
11. Define sensitivityof a radio receiver.

expressed in micro volts.
12.Define the term fidelity of a radio receiver.
Fidelity is a measure of the ability of a receiver to reproduce an exact
replica of the original source information.

Amplitude Modulation is the process of changing the amplitude of a
relatively high frequency carrier signal in proportion with the instantaneous value
of the modulating signal.
17. What is Frequency modulation?

lowest lower side frequency. B.W = 2fm(max).
20. What is over,under,critical modulation?
If m >1, has severe distortion.This codn is Over modulation. If m=1, has
greatest output and codn is Critical modulation. If m< 1 ,has no distortion
and codn is Uunder modulation.
21.With reference to FM, define modulation index.
Modulation index is the ratio of frequency deviation and modulating
signal frequency
m = f / fm
f = frequency deviation in Hz
fm = modulating signal frequency in Hz
22.Define deviation ratio.
It is the worst-case modulation index which is the ratio of maximum
permitted frequency deviation and maximum modulating signal
frequency.

25.Determine the modulation index of a FM system with a maximum
frequency deviation of 75 KHz and maximum modulating frequency of 10
KHz.
m = f / fm = 75 KHz / 10 KHz = 7.5
26.Distinguish between narrow band FM and wide band FM.
Narrow band FM Wide band FM
Frequency deviation in carrier
frequency is very small
Frequency deviation in carrier
frequency is large
Band width is twice the
highest modulating frequency
Band width is calculated as per
Carsons rule
27.What are the advantages of FM over AM?
The amplitude of FM is constant. Hence transmitter power
remains constant in FM where as it varies in AM.
Since amplitude of FM is constant, the noise interference is
minimum in FM. Any noise superimposing on modulated carrier
can be removed with the help of amplitude limiter.
The depth of modulation have limitation in AM. But in FM, the
depth of modulation can be increased to any value.
Since guard bands are provided in FM, there is less possibility of
adjacent channel interference.
Since space waves are used for FM, the radius of propagation islimited to line of sight( LOS ) . Hence it is possible to operate
several independent transmitters on same frequency with
minimum interference.
Since FM uses UHF and VHF ranges, the noise interference is
minimum compared to AM which uses MF and HF ranges.
28. What is the advantage and disadvantage of Angle modulation?
Advantages: 1. Noise Reduction

s(t)=Ac cos i(t)
s(t)= Ac cos(2 fct+2 K f m(t) dt)
Phase modulation :
It is that form of Angle modulation in which angle i(t) is varied linearlywith the base band signal m(t) as as shown by
i(t)= 2 fct+Kpm(t)
s(t)=Ac cos i(t)
s(t)= Ac cos(2 fct+Kpm(t)
41.Define modulation index for AM and FM

= f/f M
Ratio of frequency deviation and modulating signal frequency
42.With reference to FM define modulation index and frequency deviation
modulation index = f/fMFrequency deviation :It represent the maximum departure of instantaneous frequency

Mid band freq of IF station =.455 MHz
IF band width =10 KHz
Typical freq parameters of commercial FM value
RF carrier range 88-108 MHz
Mid band freq of IF station =.10.7 MHz
IF band width =.2 MHz
In an FM system the message information is transmitted by variation of the
instantaneous frequency of sinusoidal carrier wave and its amplitude is
maintained constant .Therefore any variation of the carrier amplitude at the R
x i/p must result from the noise or interference The amplitude limiter before
discriminator remove amplitude variation.
46.Distinguish b/w direct method and indirect method of producing FM waveIN indirect method the instantaneous frequency of the carrier wave is varied
directly in accordance with the base band signal by means of a device known as vco
e.g Hartley oscillatorDisadvantage is that carrier frequency is not obtained from a highly stable oscillator
In indirect method the base band signal m(t) is first integrated used to phase modulate
a crystal controlled oscillator .Hence stable carrier frequency is obtained
47.Why is FM system preferred over AM system.PM system can provide better discrimination against noise and interference than
AM
48.What is the main difference between natural sampling and instantaneous
sampling
Instantaneous sampling:
Consider an arbitrary signal g(t) of finite energy which is specified for alltime as shown in fig a .Suppose that we sample the signal g(t) instantaneously and at
uniform rate once every T seconds .As a result of this sampling process we obtain an
infinite sequence of numbers spaced Tsseconds apart and denoted by g(nTs) where n
takes all a possible integer values .Ts is the sampling period.
Natural sampling:This is applied in PDM(pulse duration modulation ).Samples of
message signal are used to vary the duration of individual pulses .
49.Define Modulation index and percent modulation for an AM wave.Modulation index is a term used to describe the amount of amplitude
change present in an AM waveform .It is also called as coefficient of modulation.
Mathematically modulation index ism = Em/Ec
Where m = Modulation coefficient
Em = Peak change in the amplitude of the output waveform voltage.
Ec = Peak amplitude of the unmodulated carrier voltage.
Percent modulation gives the percentage change in the amplitude of the output
wave when the carrier is acted on by a modulating signal.
49.Define direct frequency modulation.In direct frequency modulation , frequency of a constant amplitude carrier
signal is directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal at a rateequal to the frequency of the modulating signal.

50.Define indirect frequency Modulation.In indirect frequency modulation phase of a constant amplitude carrier is
directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal at a rate equal to
the frequency of the modulating signal.
51.Define instantaneous frequency deviation.
The instantaneous frequency deviation is the instantaneous change in the
frequency of the carrier and is defined as the first derivative of the instantaneous
phase deviation.
52.Define frequency deviation.Frequency deviation is the change in frequency that occurs in the carrier
when it is acted on by a modulating signal frequency.Frequency deviation is
typically given as a peak frequency shift in Hertz( f).The peak to peak frequency
deviation (2 f) is sometimes called carrier swing.The peak frequency deviation is
simply the product of the deviation sensitivity and the peak modulating signalvoltage and is expressed mathematically as f=K1 Vm Hz
53.State Carson rule.Carson rule states that the bandwidth required to transmit an angle
modulated wave as twice the sum of the peak frequency deviation and the highest
modulating signal frequency. Mathematically carsons rule is
B=2( f +fm) Hz.
54.Define Deviation ratio.Deviation ratio is the worst case modulation index and is equal to the
maximum peak frequency deviation divided by the maximum modulating signal
frequency. Mathematically, the deviation ratio is
DR= f (max)/fm(max)
Unit II : DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Disadvantage:It requires between 1 dB and 3 dB more signal to noise ratio to
achieve the same BER as that of standard absolute PSK
7.What are the advantages of M-ary signaling schemes?

9.What are the advantages of QPSK as compared to BPSK?
For the same bit rate, the bandwidth required by QPSK is reduced to
half as compared to BPSK.
Because of reduced bandwidth, the information transmission rate of
QPSK is higher.
10.What happens to the probability of error in M-ary PSK as the value of M
increases?As the value of M increases, the Euclidean distance between the
symbols reduces. Hence the symbols are closer to each other. This increases
the probability of error in M-ary systems.

demodulation.
Carrier recovery circuit is
needed for detection
No carrier recovery circuit needed

13.Define Bandwidth efficiency. What is the bandwidth efficiency of BPSK
and 8-PSK system?It is the ratio of the transmission bit rate to the minimum bandwidth required for a
particular modulation scheme.

For BPSK , transmission rate = fb and minimum bandwidth = f b
Band width efficiency = 1For 8-PSK , transmission rate = fb and minimum bandwidth = f b/3
Band width efficiency = 3
14.What is the difference between probability of error P(e) and bit error rate
BER?P(e) Probability of error is a theoretical (mathematical) expectation of
the bit error rate for a given system.
BER is an empirical record of a systems actual bit error performance.
For Example, if a system has a P(e) of 10 -5 , this mean that, you can expect
one bit error in every 100,000 bits transmitted.
If a system has a BER of 10 -5 , this mean that, there was one bit error for
every 100,000 bits transmitted.
BER is measured and then compared to the expected probability of error to
evaluate the systems performance.
15.What is the probability of error for (i) non-coherent FSK and (ii) coherent
FSK? Compare their error performance.

modulation systems that uses different bit rates and modulation schemes.
It is the product of carrier to noise power ratio and the noise band width to bit

1.State sampling Theorem.If a finite energy signal g(t) contains no frequency component higher than W Hz,
it is completely determined by specifying its ordinates at a separation of points
spaced 1/ 2W seconds apart.
If a finite energy signal g(t) contains no frequency component higher than W Hz,
it is completely recovered from its ordinates at a separation of points spaced 1/
2W seconds apart.
2.Methods of Sampling1. Ideal Sampling (or) Instantaneous Sampling2. Natural Sampling3. Flat-top Sampling
3.What is Aliasing or Foldover?

IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE
IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE Page 12
Aliasing occurs when the signal is sampled at a rate less than Nyguist rate(2W
samples/ sec). It is prevented by using
Guard Bands
Pre-alias Filter
2. Define Nyquist rate and Nyquist interval.According to sampling theorem, a continuous time signal can be completely
represented in its samples and recovered back if the sampling frequency is fS 2W.
Here fS is sampling frequency and W is the highest frequency component of the
signal.
Nyquist rate: The minimum sampling rate of 2W samples per second is called
Nyquist rate.
i.e., fS= 2W Nyquist rate
Nyquist interval: Reciprocal of 2W is called the Nyquist interval.
Nyquist interval = 1/2W
3. What is aliasing?When the continuous time signal g(t) is sampled at the rate less than Nyquist
rate, frequencies higher than W takes on the identity of the low frequencies in
sampled signal spectrum . This is called aliasing.
The use of a low pass reconstruction filter, with its pass band extending from
W to W will not yield an undistorted version of the original signal. Aliasing can be
reduced by sampling at a rate higher than Nyquist rate.
4. Give the practical procedure for the sampling of a signal whose
spectrum is not strictly band limited.i) Prior to sampling, a low pass pre-alias filter ( anti-alias filter) of high
enough order is used to attenuate those frequency components of the signal that do not
contribute significantly to the information content of the signal.
ii) The filtered signal is sampled at a rate slightly higher than the Nyquist rate
2W, where W is the cutoff frequency of the pre-alias filter.
5. Define aliasing error. Give the upper bound for the aliasing error.Let {g(n/fS)} denote the sequence obtained by sampling an arbitrary signal g(t)
at the rate fS samples per second. Let gi(t) denote the signal reconstructed from this
sequence by interpolation;
That is, gi(t)= g( ) sinc ( fSt - n)
The absolute error = | g(t) gi(t) | is called the aliasing error.
The aliasing error is bounded as
2 | G(f) | df
6. Given the signal m(t)=10 cos (2000 t) cos (8000 t ) , what is the minimum
sampling rate based on the low pass uniform sampling theorem?The equation shows that m(t) is generated by multiplication of two signals.
We know that cosAcosB = [cos (A-B)+cos (A+B)]
There fore, m(t) = (10/2) [ cos (6000 t) + cos (10000 t)]
-
8/13/2019 IT2202 poc
13/26
IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE
IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE Page 13
The two frequencies in m(t) are 3000 Hz and 5000 Hz and the highest frequency
present in m(t) is 5000 Hz.
Minimum sampling rate is 2 (5000) = 10000 samples per second.
7. What is Inter symbol Interference (ISI) ?ISI arises because of imperfections in the overall frequency response of the
system.
When a short pulse of duration Tb seconds is transmitted through a band
limited system, the frequency components constituting the input pulse are
differentially attenuated and, more significantly, differentially delayed by the system.
Consequently the pulse appearing at the output of the system is dispersed over an
interval longer than Tbseconds.
Thus when a sequence of short pulses are transmitted through the system, one
pulse every Tb seconds, the dispersed responses originating from different symbol
intervals will interfere with each other, there by resulting in ISI.
8. What is eye pattern?When the received signal in a data transmission system is applied to the
vertical deflection plates of an oscilloscope and saw tooth wave( frequency = symbol
rate) is applied to the horizontal deflection plates of an oscilloscope, the resulting
display is called an eye pattern.
The display pattern is called an eye pattern because of its resemblance to the
human eye. An eye pattern provides a great deal of information about the performance
of the data transmission system. Eye pattern is particularly useful in studying ISI
problem.
9. List out the information provided by eye pattern about the system
performance.
i)The width of the eye opening defines the time interval over which the received wave
can be sampled without error from ISI. The preferred time for sampling is the instant
of time at which the eye is open widest.
ii) The sensitivity of the system to timing error is determined by the rate of closure ofthe eye as the sampling time is varied.
iii) The height of the eye opening , at a specified sampling time, defines the margin
over noise.
iv) Completely closed eye shows that the effect of ISI is severe.
10. Compare base band binary PAM and base band M-ary PAM.
In the baseband binary PAM system , the out put of the pulse generator takeson one of two possible amplitude levels. In a baseband M-ary PAM system,
the out put of the pulse generator takes on one of M possible amplitude
levels.
An M- ary PAM system transmit information at a rate that is log2M fasterthan the corresponding binary PAM for a fixed channel band width. That is
-
8/13/2019 IT2202 poc
14/26
IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE
IT 2202 PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT OF ECE Page 14
for a fixed bit rate, an M-ary PAM system requires less channel bandwidth
than a binary PAM.
In order to realize the same average probability of symbol error , an M-ary
PAM system requires more transmitted power.
12. State Nyquist criterion for zero ISI.
P( f n Rb) = Tb
Tb= bit duration in seconds ; Rb= bit rate = 1/Tb
p(t ) = received pulse
P(f) = Fourier Transform of p(t)
13. What is adaptive equalization?
Equalization is the process of correcting channel induced distortion. This process is
said to be adaptive when it adjusts itself continuously during data transmission byoperating on the input signal.
In adaptive equalization, filters adapt themselves to the channel
characteristics. That is , the filter coefficients are adjusted in such a way that the
distortion in the data is reduced.
14. What is PAM?
It is a process in which amplitudes of regularly spaced pulses are varied in
proportion to the corresponding sample values of continuous message signal.
15.What do you mean by Aperture Effect?It is nothing but amplitude distortion occurring at PAM due to the sinc function. It
is overcome by using a Equalizer whose transfer function is
| H(f)| = T 1 sinc(fT)
16. What is PPM?It is the process in which the position of a pulse relative to its unmodulated time of
occurrence is varied in accordance with message signals.
17. What is PWM?It is the process in which the samples of message signal are used to vary the
duration of individual pulses in the carrier.
18. What is Quantization?
It is the process in which the analog sample of the original signal is converted into
a digital form.
19. What is Sampling?It is the process in which the original analog signal is converted into a discrete
time and continuous amplitude signal.
20. Classify Quantizers.

Uniform QuanatizerRepresentation levels are uniformly spaced
Non-Uniform QuanatizerRepresentation levels are non-uniformly spaced
21. What is Quantization Noise?The difference between the output analog sample and the discrete output
quantized signal gives raise to an error called Quantization Noise.
22. What are the two types of Quantization Noise?1. Slopeoverload distortion2. Granular Noise
23. What is Slope- Overload Distortion?
When the message signal varies steeply, the quantized approximation cannot
follow the message signal and this results in slope-overload distortion. It can be

64. How the BPSK signal is generated?The BPSK signal is generated by applying the waveform Cos(uo t) as a carrier to a
balanced modulator and applying the base band signal b(t) as the modulating
waveform,
in this sense BPSK can be thought of as an AM signal.
65. What is the significance of DPCM?In DPCM instead of quantizing the individual sample values, the difference between
the successive samples is quantized. As the difference between sample values {M(k)

required to quantize the difference than that required to quantize M(k) and
correspondingly fewer bits will be needed to encode the levels.
