Question 1: Consider the following signal: x(t ) = 10sin(50 × 103 t ) + 7 sin(24 × 103 t ) . The
signal is transmitted through one of the following channels. (7)

Will the signal be distorted if:
(a) it is transmitted through channel A (b) it is transmitted through channel B.
(Answer Yes/No). Briefly explain your answer.
(a): Yes, there will be distortion. Although the β values are within linear region, α is
different for the 2 frequencies (50 krad/s and 24 krad/s).
(b): No, there will not be any distortion. As the derivative of β vs ω curve is constant, the
curve must be linear. The value of α is also same for both frequencies:

Consider the Sampler and the filters to be ideal. The sampling frequency is 4 kHz. The
band pass filter (BPF) passes frequencies 4.5 kHz – 7.5 kHz. The low pass filter (LPF)
passes signals up to 4.5 kHz. What frequencies will be present at point a and at point b ?
Answer in the table given in the next page. Show calculations briefly.
The frequencies are: f1 = 1 kHz and f2 = 1.7 kHz. Sampling frequency, fS = 4 kHz. The
frequencies created due to sampling:

5 kHz, 5.7 kHz, 6.3 kHz, 1 kHz, 1.7 kHz, 2.3 kHz,

At input point a: Signal power = 1 µW. White Gaussian Noise is mixed with the signal
at this point. The noise spectral density per Hz is given by N 0 = 3 × 10−10 W Hz .

The Band pass Filter (BPF) is ideal with unity gain. Additional data of the signal and the
filter can be found from the frequency spectrum graphs shown above. The amplifier has a
constant gain, G = 100 (over the signal bandwidth). Amplifier noise (internal) referred to
the input side is 0.2 µW. Find:
i. Bandwidth of the signal and the BPF (express in kHz).
ii. SNR at point a, b and c. (express SNR in dB for point b and c)
iii. Total noise power at point b and c (express in µW).
iv. The noise figure of the amplifier (express in dB).
Here, Gain, G = 100, amp noise referred to input side, Nai = 0.2 µW.
Signal power at c,
( PS )c = G × ( PS )b = 100 × 1 = 100 µW
Noise power at c,
( PN )c = G × [ ( PN )b + N ai ] = 100 × [ 0.9 + 0.2] = 110µW
( PS )c 100
So, ( SNR )c = = = 0.9091 = 10 × log(0.9091) = −0.4139 dB
( PN )c 110
N ai 0.2
F = 1+ = 1+ = 1.2222 = 10 × log(1.2222) = 0.8715 dB
