14. List out the steps required in A/D conversion for under sampling.
The signal passes through a high performance analog low pass antialiasing filter to
limit its bandwidth.
The filtered signal is sampled at the Nyquist rate for the approximately bandlimited
signal.
The samples are processed by analog to digital converter that maps the continuous
valued samples to a finite list of discrete output levels.
15. What are the steps required in A/D conversion without oversampling?
The signal passes through a high performance analog lowpass antialiasing filter to
limit the bandwidth.
The filtered signal is sampled at the Nyquist rate for the approximately bandlimited
signal obtained in previous step.
The signal passes through a low performance analog lowpass filter (prefilter) to
limit its bandwidth.
The pre filtered signal is oversampled at a much higher sampling rate than the
Nyquist rate for the band limited signal.
The samples are processed by analog to digital converter that maps the continuous
valued samples to a finite list of discrete output levels.
The digital samples are then processed by high performance low cost digital filter to
reduce the bandwidth.
17. Why is pre-filtering done before sampling?
N/D10
The signal must be limited to some highest frequency W Hz before sampling. Then
the signal is sampled at the frequency of fs = 2W or higher.
Hence the signal should be pre-filtered (low pass filtered) to eliminate any
frequency components higher than W Hz.
If the signal is not pre-filtered, then frequency components higher than W Hz will
generate aliasing in the sampled signal spectrum.
Aliasing:
18. What is meant by foldover?
Foldover which is also referred as Aliasing, which is refers to some portions of the
frequency shifted replicas of the spectrum of the analog signal folding over inside the
desired spectrum.
Aliasing arises because a analog signal cannot be limited in both time and frequency
simultaneously.
The recipe for controlling its effect involves the use of pre-alias filter, combined with the
choice of a sampling rate in excess of the Nyquist rate.
19. What is anti-aliasing filter?
There are two ways by which the problem of aliasing can be tackled; both of these methods
make use of antialiasing filters. In pre-filtering antialiasing filter, the analog signal itself is
pre-filtered so that new maximum frequency is reduced to fs/2. In post fltering antialiasing
filter, aliased terms are eliminated after sampling with help of LPF operating on the
sampled data. The cutoff frequency needs to be less than (fs-fm).
20. What is meant by aliasing effect?
Regulation 2013
Aliasing effect takes place when sampling frequency is less than Nyquist rate. Under such
condition, the spectrum of the sampled signal overlaps with itself. Hence higher
frequencies take the form of lower frequencies. This interference of the frequency
components is called aliasing effect. Aliasing can also occur in spatially sampled signals,
for instance digital images.
21. What are the corrective measures to combat the effects of aliasing?
To combat the effects of aliasing in practice we may use two corrective measures,Prior
to sampling, a low pass pre-alias filter is used to attenuate those high frequency
components of the signal that are not essential to the information being conveyed by
the channel.
The filtered signal is sampled at a rate slightly higher than the Nyquist rate.

a specified minimum period of time.
Low Pass Filter-Allows the low frequency components.
Equalizer-Used to adjust the balance between the frequency components of the signal.
24. What is meant by sample and hold circuits?
A sample and hold (S/H) circuit is an analog device that samples the voltage of a
continuously varying analog signal and holds its value at a constant level for a specified
minimum period of time. Sample and hold circuits and related peak detectors are the
elementary analog memory devices. They are typically used in analog-to-digital converters
to eliminate variations in input signal that can corrupt the conversion process.
25. Define transition bandwidth.
All realizable filters require a non zero bandwidth for the transition between the pass band
and stop band, commonly known as transition bandwidth. Filter complexity and cost rise
sharply with narrower transition bandwidth. However if we want to keep the sample rate
down, we should go for a very narrow transition bandwidth. Trade off is required in the
sampler implementation.
26. What is need of trade off in sampler implementation?
Tradeoff is required between the cost of a small transition bandwidth and cost of higher
sampling rate ( ie cost of more storage and higher transmission rate). In many systems the
rule of thumb is to make the transition bandwidth between 10% and 20% of the signal
Regulation 2013
bandwidth. If we account for the 20% transition bandwidth of the antialiasing filter we
have a practical Nyquist rate fs > 2.2 fm.
27. What should be the pass band for antialiasing and smoothing filters used with pulse
modulation/demodulation systems?
Antialiasing filter used before sampling. It should band limit the signal to maximum
signal frequency of W Hz. Hence its pass band should be W Hz.
Quantization
28. What is meant by quantization?
M/J12
The conversion of analog signal value into digital signal value. The analog value is
assigned to the nearest digital value. This is called quantization. The quantized value is then
converted to equivalent binary value. The quantization levels are fixed depending upon the
number of bits. Quantization is performed in every analog to digital conversion. There are
two types such as Uniform and non uniform quantization.
29. What is quantile interval?
The quantized levels may assume positive and negative values. The step size between
quantization levels, called quantile interval, is denoted by q volts. The maximum errors in
this approximation is limited to half of the quantile interval i.e., q/2 volts. So if the signal at
a larger stage, gets contaminated with the channel noise, then as long as the instantaneous
noise voltage is less than q/2 volts it would have no effect on the signal. This suggests that
large step size improves the noise immunity.
30. What is quantization error?
A/M11
In source coding (analog to digital conversion and compression), the difference between
the actual value and quantized digital value is called quantization error or quantization
distortion. This error is either due to rounding or functions. The error signal is sometimes
considered as an additional random signal called quantization noise because of its
stochastic behavior.
31. What is the Requirement for Fine Quantization?
For fine quandization ,the quantized signal power can be approximated to the second
moment of the clean signal(t).
Sq =m 2 (t)
And the quandization power is
N q =e 2 q =
m2p
3L2
Where m2p is the peak quandization level of the uniform quandiser.so if we denote the SNR
for quandisation alone as (S/N)q then we can write
(S/N) q =3L2
m 2 (t)
m2p
Regulation 2013
Midtread quantizer Mid-tread quantizers do have a zero output level, and can
reach arbitrarily low bit rates per sample for input distributions that are symmetric and
taper off at higher magnitudes.
Midriser quantiser Mid-riser uniform quantizers do not have a zero output value
their minimum output magnitude is half the step size. Mid-riser quantizers also always
produce an output entropy of at least 1 bit per sample.
Biased quantiser Midriser and Midtread quantizers are rounding quantizers. But
biased quantizer is truncation quantizer.
34. What is non-uniform quantization?
Quantization noise depends upon step size. In non-uniform quantization the step size is not
fixed. It varies according to certain law or as per input signal amplitude. It effect is to
improve the overall SNR by reducing the quantizing noise for the predominantly weak
signals at the expense of an increase in quantization noise for the rarely occurring strong
signals.
35. State any two non-uniform quantization rules.
M/J13
The step size is small at low input signal level. Hence quantization error is also
small at these inputs. Therefore signal quantization noise power ratio is improved at
low signal levels.
The step size is higher at high input signals. Hence signal to noise ration remains
almost same throughout the dynamic range of quantiser.
36. Compare uniform and non-uniform quantization.
N/D11
Uniform quantization When the quantization levels are uniformly distributed over the
full range, the quantiser is called a uniform quantiser.
Non uniform quantization Quantization noise depends upon step size. In non-uniform
quantization the step size is not fixed. It varies according to certain law or as per input
signal amplitude.
37. What is the need for non-uniform quantization of speech signal?
In uniform quantization the quantiser has a linear characteristic. The step size also remains
same throughout the range of quantizer. Therefore over the complete range of inputs, the
maximum quantization error also remains same. Maximum quantization error will be
occurs due to uniform quantization. SNR for large crest factor signal will be very less so
speech and music should use non uniform quantization.
38. Define crest factor.
Crest factor describes how strong the signal peak value is with respect to its rms value.
Crest factor = peak value / rms value.
Speech has a high crest factor. So if uniform quantisers are used for speech, most of the
time the quantiser slope will be more than signal slope.
39. Mention the use of adaptive quantizer in adaptive digital waveform coding schemes.
Adaptive quantiser changes its step size according to variance of the input signal. Hence
quantization error is significantly reduced due to adaptive quantization. ADPCM uses
adaptive quantization. The bit rate of such schemes is reduced due to adaptive quantization.
Adaptive quantisers are two types such as adaptive quantization with forward estimation
(AQF) and adaptive quantization with backward estimation (AQB).
40. What do you understand from adaptive coding?
In adaptive coding the quantization step size and prediction filter coefficients are changed
as per properties of input signal. This reduces the quantization error and number of bits
used to represent the sample value. Adaptive coding is used for speech coding at low bit
rates. It refers to variants of entropy encoding methods of lossless data compression
Regulation 2013
Quantization noise
41. Define quantization noise.
When the signal is converted from analog to digital form, the analog sample amplitude is
assigned the nearest available quantization amplitude level. The difference between
quantized value and actual value of the sample introduces permanent distortion in the
signal. It is called quantization error or quantization noise.
Quantization noise, = xq(nTs) x(nTs). xq(nTs) is quantized value of sample and x(nT s) is
actual value of sample.

48. What are the two types of quantization errors that occur in delta modulation?
Slope overload error: The step size of quantization is not enough to follow the large
changes in input signal. Hence there is difference between approximated signal and
input signal.
Granular noise: The step size is too large; hence approximated signal cannot follow
the small variations in input signal. For every small variation in input signal, there is
large change in approximated signal. It is also called as hunting.

52. What is slope overload error?
When the distortion arises because of the large dynamic range of the input signal. The step
size of quantization is not enough to follow the large changes in input signal. Hence there is
difference between approximated signal and input signal. It is called as slope overload
error. To reduce this error step size should be increased when slope of signal of x(t) is high.
It is also called as startup error.
53. Define pre-emphasis and de-emphasis.
Pre-emphasis refers to a system process designed to increase the magnitude of some
frequencies with respect to the magnitude of other frequencies in order to improve the

66. What are the advantages of PCM over analog Pulse modulation?
The advantages of PCM over analog pulse modulation method is that in PCM, the
information does not lie in any property of the pulse waveform, rather it lies in the presence
or absence of the pulse or to which side of a threshold value the pulse amplitude lies.
Thus, the noise immunity of a PCM signal is much more than any analog pulse modulation
signal. Therefore, PCM can be used for storage systems.
67. What is meant by PCM word size?
For digital telephone channels, each speech sample is PCM encoded using 8 bits, yielding
28 or 256 level per sample. The choice of the number of levels of bits per sample depends
on how much quantization noise we are willing to tolerate with the PCM format. The
relation between the tolerance in quantization error and PCM word size is obtained as

68. What is meant by holding circuit?
The holding circuit may be a zero-order hold circuit which is nothing but a switch opening
and closing to a capacitor.
The capacitor retains the value of the previous samples till a new pulse arrives. This is
followed by a second order low pass filter to produce the desired analog signal at the
receiver output.
69. What is meant by regenerative repeaters?
Digital repeaters are also called as regenerative repeaters. In practical long haul
communications systems a link usually runs for several hundred kilometers and to
overcome signal losses over such a long path, the signal is boosted at intermediate stations
called repeaters. Each repeater consist of both transmitter and receiver block. So baseband
signal power requirement is 9.27dB less for regenerative repeaters.

73. Define idle channel noise.
Idle channel noise is the coding noise measured at the receiver output with zero transmitter
input. The zero input condition arises during silences in speech. The average power of this
form of noise depends on the type of quantizer used. In a quantizer of the midriser type,
zero input amplitude is encoded into one of the two inner most representations levels and
these two levels are equiprobable; the idle channel noise for midriser quantizer has zero
mean and an average power of 2/4.

95. What is Pulse Amplitude Modulation?
In pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), the amplitude of a carrier consisting of a periodic
train of rectangular pulses is varied in proportion to sample values of a message signal. In
this type of modulation, the pulse duration is held constant.
By making the amplitude if each rectangular pule the same as the value of the message
signal at the leading edge of the pulse, the PAM so defined is exactly the same as flat top
sampling.
TDM:
96. Define Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a method of putting multiple data streams in a single
signal by separating the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration. Each
individual data stream is reassembled at the receiving end based on the timing. TDM can
be further extended into the time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme, where several
stations connected to the same physical medium.

Sampling theorem: A band limited signal having no spectral components above f m Hz can be
determined uniquely by values sampled at uniform intervals of

This particular theorem is called uniform sampling theorem. From this one can state the Nyquist
rate of sampling which gives the minimum sampling frequency needed to reconstruct the analog
signal from sampled waveform.

Consider an analog signal g(t) that is continuous in both time and amplitude.
Assume that g(t) has infinite duration but finite energy.
Let the sample values of the signal g(t) at times t=0,T s, 2Ts, be denoted by the series

Therefore if the sample values g(n/2W) of the signal g(t) are specified for all time, then the

g(t) is related to G(f) by the inverse Fourier transform, it follows that the signal g(t) is itself
uniquely determined by the sample values g(n/2W) for - n.in other words the
sequence{g(n/2W)} contains all of the information of g(t).

The phenomenon of a high frequency in the spectrum of the original signal g(t) seemingly
taking on the identity of a lower frequency in the spectrum of the sampled signal g(t) is called
aliasing or fold over.

4.b) Explain briefly about the signal recovery using sample and hold circuit. (8)
(page no:187-188)
The sampling process takes the form of natural sampling or flat-top sampling. In both
cases the spectrum of the sampled signal is scaled by the ratio T/T s, where T is the
sampling pulse duration and Ts is the sampling period.
This ratio is quite small with the result that the signal power at the output of the lowpass reconstruction filter in the receiver is correspondingly small.
This situation can be eliminated by the use of amplification which can be quite large.
A more attractive approach that is used for this is a simple sample and hold circuit.
The circuit given below consists of an amplifier of unity gain and low output
impedance a switch and a capacitor it is assumed that the load impedance is large.
The switch is timed to close only for small duration T of each sampling pulse, during
which time the capacitor rapidly charges up to a voltage level equal to that of the input
sample.
When the switch is open the capacitor retains its voltage level until the next closure of
the switch.
Thus the sample and hold circuit in its ideal form produces an output waveform that
represents a staircase interpolation of the original analog signal as illustrated in the
figure.
In flat top sampling we deduce that the output of a sample and hold circuit is defined by
Where h(t) is an impulse response representing the action of the sample and hold circuit.
1 0<t<T
h(t)=
0 t<0,and t>T
Correspondingly the spectrum of the output of the sample and hold circuit is given by
U ( f ) fs
H ( f )G( f mf )
Where G(f) is the fourier transform of the original analog signal g(t) and H(f) is the transfer
function of the sample and hold circuit as shown by
H(f)=Tssinc(fTs)exp(-jfTs)
In order to recover the original signal g(t) without distortion,we need to pass the output of the
sample and hold circuit through a low pass filter designed to remove components of the

Signal Reconstruction:

theorem. (page no:201-204)

OR
Prove that a stationary message process contains no frequencies higher than W hertz,
can be reconstructed from its samples at a sequence of points spaced W seconds
apart with zero mean squared error.
OR
Explain the reconstruction of a message process from its samples.
When a side sense stationary message process is reconstructed from the sequence of its
samples taken at a rate equal to twice the highest frequency component, the reconstructed
process equals the original process in the mean-square sense for all time.
Consider then wide sense stationary message process X(t) with autocorrelation function R x() and
power spectral density Sx(f).We assume that
Sx(f)=0

Based on the infinite sequence of samples the reconstructed process can be denoted using X(t)

at time t=n/2W.The mean square value of the error between the original message process X(t) and the
reconstructed message process X(t) equals

Midtread quantizer Mid-tread quantizers do have a zero output level, and can reach
arbitrarily low bit rates per sample for input distributions that are symmetric and taper off
at higher magnitudes.
Midriser quantiser Mid-riser uniform quantizers do not have a zero output value their
minimum output magnitude is half the step size. It also always produces an output
entropy of at least 1 bit per sample.
Biased quantiser midriser and midtread quantizers are rounding quantizers. But biased
quantizer is truncation quantizer.
Non uniform quantization - Quantization noise depends upon step size. In non uniform
quantization the step size is not fixed. It varies according to certain law or as per input signal
amplitude.
Crest factor: Crest factor describes how strong the signal peak value is with respect to its rms
value.
Crest factor = peak value / rms value
Companding: The compression of signal at transmitter and expansion at receiver is called
as companding. At the receiver the signal is expanded exactly opposite to compression
curve at transmitter to get original signal.
Quantization Noise:
1. (a)Explain quantization noise and Signal to Noise Ratio.
(8)
Quantization noise is produced in the transmitter end of a PCM system by rounding off
sample values of an analog baseband signal to the nearest permissible representation
levels of the quantizer.
Quantization noise differs from channel noise in that it is signal dependent.
Consider a memory less quandizer that is both uniform and symmetric with a total of L
representation levels.
Let x denote the quandizer input and y denote the quantizer output, then
Y=Q(x), a staircase function
Suppose the input x lies inside the interval
Jk= {xk<xxk+1} k=1,2,L
Where xk and xk+1 are decision thresholds of the interval Jk
The probability density function of the quantization error is given as FQ(q),

Consider then a message process X (t) that is wide-sense stationary but not strictly band
limited. Specifically for sampling rate fs, we have
Sx(f)0
|f|>fs/2
Where Sx(f) is the power spectral density of the process.
1 | f | W
Hl ( f )
0 | f | W
Let Xi(t) denote the random process resulting at the low-pass filter output, which is
strictly band limited to fs/2,that is
S x ( f ) | f | f s / 2
S xl ( f )
| f | f s / 2

The second filter has the transfer function

PCM: If a PAM signal is first quantized and then converted to a digital code, we get a
complete digital signal. This signal is called pulse coded modulated signal and the process is
known as pulse coded modulation (PCM).
DPCM: The redundancy if it is reduced, then overall bit rate will decreases and number of bits
required to transmit one sample will also be reduced. This type of digital pulse modulation
scheme is called differential pulse coded modulation.
ADPCM: Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation (ADPCM) is a variant of differential
pulse-code modulation (DPCM) that varies the size of the quantization step, to allow further
reduction of the required bandwidth for a given signal-to-noise ratio.
29
Regulation 2013
Delta modulation: The high sample to sample correlation of speech type signals is exploited to
the maximum in delta modulation.
ADM: In the steep segment of the signal x(t), the step size is increased. When the input is
varying slowly, the step size is reduced. Then the method is called as adaptive delta
modulation (ADM).
LPC: In this scheme the basic assumption is that it is always possible to simulate the sampled
speech sequence x[n], n=0,1,.n-1 by applying an appropriate excitation sequence v[n] to a
discrete time linear filter with an all-pole transfer function H(z), representing the human vocal
tract.

PCM word size: For digital telephone channels, each speech sample is PCM encoded
using 8 bits, yielding 28 or 256 level per sample.
l > log2 (1/2p) bits
PCM bandwidth:
PCM signal is quantized and encoded PAM signal. The bandwidth of any digital signal
depends on both symbol rate and pulse shape.
The least transmission bandwidth of PCM
system in terms of signal bandwidth is
BT PCM > lB
Regenerative repeaters:
A link usually runs for several hundred kilometers and to overcome signal losses over such
a long path, the signal is boosted at intermediate stations called repeaters.
Each repeater consist of both transmitter and receiver block. So baseband signal power
requirement is 9.27dB less for a regenerative repeater
Noise in a PCM system:
aliasing noise.-.Due to improper sampling
quantization noise.-.Occurs in transmitter itself
Channel noise.-.Occurs outside the transmitter and cannot follow any deterministic
pattern.
Inter symbol interference - due to high data transmission rate.
30
Regulation 2013
The next cause of degradation is the channel noise which occurs outside the transmitter
and cannot follow any deterministic pattern.so it should be modeled with the help of
statistical considerations.
The last cause of degradation is not noise but an interference called inter symbol
interference.
In PCM where all these degradations are present, we have to analyze each degradation
separately. Hence we have to derive the ratio of signal to noise power of a PCM when
only quantization noise is present.

The N message signals to be multiplexed have similar spectral properties. Then the
sampling rate for each message signal is determined in accordance with the sampling
theorem.
Let Ts denote the sampling period so determined for each message signal. Let Tx denote
the time spacing between adjacent samples in the time multiplexed signal.
It is rather obvious that Tx=Ts/N
