where φ12 (ι) is cross-correlation function of f1 (t) and f2 (t). [8+8]

3. (a) What are the requirements of a system to allow the distortion less transmission
of a signal?
(b) Show the response of ideal low pass filter when unit step is applied. [8+8]

4. (a) What is meant by Modulation? Why modulation is necessary?

(b) A 108 KHz carrier wave is amplitude modulated by a band of frequencies from
300 Hz to 3400 Hz. What frequencies are contained in the upper and lower
side bands of the AM wave and what is the bandwidth to transmit this wave?

5. (a) Derive the expression for NBFM. Compare the spectrum of this NBFM with
an wave.
(b) Give the power contents of the carrier and the sidebands in angle modulated
carriers. [8+8]

stream 001010011010. Assume the bit rate ‘fb ’ is equal to the carrier frequency
‘fo ’. Sketch BPSK signal.
(b) State the advantages and disadvantages or FSK and PSK for transmitting
binary information. [8+8]
