PROBLEM 1 (20 points)
Consider the problem of digital communications across the following channel:

AWGN
1

–10 kHz 10 kHz f

(a) Find the SNR required by Shannon to achieve a 0.1 b/s bit rate. (Express the answer in dB.)

SNR = dB.

(b) Find the SNR per bit required by Shannon to achieve 0.1 b/s. (Express answer in dB.)

SNR per bit = dB.

Let sI( t ) and sQ( t ) denote the in-phase and quadrature components of s( t ) = ---------------------
8πt
with respect to a carrier frequency f0.

PROBLEM 4 (20 points)
Let g( t ) = u( t ) – u(t – 1) be a rectangular window with unit duration. Consider the 4-ary
signal set s( t ) = tg( t ), s( t ) = tg( t ), s( t ) = (t – 3t/4)g( t ), s( t ) = (3t/4)g( t ).

(a) Sketch the constellation (signal-space) diagram. Draw to scale. Carefully label each signal
vector.

(b) Let ĝ( t ) = at + bt be the projection of g( t ) onto the subspace spanned by s( t ) and
s( t ). Find the constants a and b.

PROBLEM 5 (20 points)
Let g( t ) = sin(πt)/(πt). A 4-ary transmitter sends one of 4 signals:

s( t ) = 2 Re{(1 – j)g( t )ejπt}

s( t ) = 2 Re{(1 + j)g( t )ejπt}
s( t ) = 2 Re{(1 + 2j)g( t )ejπt}
s( t ) = 2 Re{(1 + 3j)g( t )ejπt}.

Find the minimum-distance decision when the

received signal is r( t ) = 5g( t )cos(8πt + π/5).
