Note: The assignment must be handover to the instructor in the class only. Late
assignments will not be graded.

1. Consider a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz transmitting a signal

with two signal level. Find the maximum bit rate that can be achieved.

2. Consider a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz transmitting a signal

with four signal level. Find the maximum bit rate that can be achieved.

3. A channel has a bandwidth of 1 MHz. The SNR is 63. What is the appropriate bit
rate and determine the signal level to support that bit rate.
