 Problem-1 (FDM Based)

Two signals m1(t) and m2(t), both band-limited o 5000 rad/s, are to be transmitted
simultaneously over a channel by the multiplexing scheme shown in figure given
below. The signal at point b is the multiplexed signal, which now modulates a
carrier of frequency 20,000 rad/s. The modulated signal at point c is transmitted
over a channel.

(a) Sketch signal spectra at points a, b, and c.

(b) What must be the bandwidth of the channel?
(c) Design a receiver to recover signals m1(t) and m2(t) from the modulated signal
at point c.

 Problem-2

The system shown in the figure is used for scrambling audio signals. The output
y(t) is the scrambled version of the input m(t).

(a) Find the spectrum of the scrambled signal y(t).

(b) Suggest a method of descrambling y(t) to obtain m(t).

 Problem-3
Design a DSB-SC modulator to generate a modulated signal km(t) cos ωct, where m(t) is a
signal band-limited to B Hz. Figure shows a DSB-SC modulator available in the stock room.
The carrier generator available generates not cos ωct, but cos3 ωct. Explain whether you would
be able to generate the desired signal using this equipment. Any kind of filter can be used for
this.
(a) What kind of filter is required in this figure?
(b) Determine the signal spectra at points b and c, and indicate the frequency bands occupied
by these spectra.
(c) What is the minimum usable value of ωc ?
(d) Would this scheme works if the carrier generator output were cos2 ωct? Explain.
(e) Would this scheme works if the carrier generator output were cosn ωct for any integer n
≥2?

 Problem-5

A certain transmitter is radiating 132 kW when a certain

audio sine wave is amplitude modulating it to a depth of 80%
and 150 kW when a second sinusoidal audio wave also
modulates it simultaneously. What is the depth of modulation
for the second audio wave?

 Problem-6

A message signal of bandwidth 5 KHz is to be transmitted using

SSB-SC over a transmission channel characterized by an
additive white noise of 2-sided PSD η/2 = 0.5X10-15 W/Hz and a
transmission loss of 100 dB. If a destination SNR of 40 dB is
required, determine the average transmitter power required.
