1. (a) Explain µ - law and A - law companding technique?

(b) Approximate µ-law curve with µ = 100 by two-linear segments, one for 0<x≤ 0.1 and the other
for 0.1 < x ≤ 1. Calculate S/Nq for S = -40, -10. Where x(t) is input signal. [8+8]
2. (a) Explain with a neat block diagram the operation of a continuously variable slope delta modulator
(CVSD).
(b) Compare Delta modulation with Pulse code modulation technique. [8+8]

5. One experiment has four mutual exclusive outcomes Aj , j =1, 2, 3, 4 and second experiment has three
mutually exclusive outcomes Bj , j=1, 2, 3. The joint probabilities P (A, B) are
P (A1 , B1 ) = 0.10 P (A1 , B2 ) = 0.08 P (A1 , B3 ) = 0.13
P (A2 , B1 ) = 0.05 P (A2 , B2 ) = 0.03 P (A2 , B3 ) = 0.09
P (A3 , B1 ) = 0.11 P (A3 , B2 ) = 0.04 P (A3 , B3 ) = 0.06
