Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 3 Hours PART A
Answer all questions, each carries 3 marks. Marks
1 Differentiate half duplex and full duplex transmission with example.
Definition(1)
Diagram(1)
Example(1)
In half-duplex mode, each station can both transmit and receive, but not at the same time. : When one device is sending, the other can only receive, and vice versa .
Eg: Walkie-talkies and CB (citizens band) radiosare both half-duplex systems. In full-duplex mode(also called duplex), both stations can transmit and receive simultaneously. Eg: One common example of full-duplex communication is the telephone network.When two people are communicating by a telephone line, both can talk and listen at thesame time.

2 A signal has the bandwidth of 20Hz. Highest frequency is 60Hz. What is the lowest frequency?
Draw the spectrum if the signal contains all integral frequencies of same amplitude.
Solution(2)
Diagram(1)
Letfh be the highest frequency,fl the lowest frequency, and B the bandwidth. Then
(3)

B=fh-fl
20= 60 –fl
Fl= 60-20
=40Hz
3 Differentiate STP and UTP cables

4 Describe Line-of-Sight Propagation.
Description(2)
Figure (1)
Above 30 MHz, neither ground wave nor sky wave propagation modes operate, and communication must
be by line of sight. For satellite communication, a signal above 30 MHz is not reflected by the ionosphere
and therefore a signal can be transmitted between an earth station and a satellite overhead that is not
(3)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
beyond the horizon. For ground-based communication, the transmitting and receiving antennas must be
within an effective line of sight of each other. The term effective is used because microwaves are bent or
refracted by the atmosphere. The amount and even the direction of the bend depends on conditions, but
generally microwaves are bent with the curvature of the earth and will therefore propagate farther than the
optical line of sight
PART B Answer any two full questions, each carries 9 marks.
5 a) Differentiate attenuation distortion and Delay distortion
Figure (1)
Description(3)
Attenuation
where signal strength falls off with distance
depends on medium
received signal strength must be:
strong enough to be detected
sufficiently higher than noise to receive without error
so increase strength using amplifiers/repeaters
is also an increasing function of frequency
so equalize attenuation across band of frequencies used
eg. using loading coils or amplifiers
Delay Distortion
only occurs in guided media
propagation velocity varies with frequency
hence various frequency components arrive at different times
particularly critical for digital data
since parts of one bit spill over into others
causing intersymbol interference

b) Define white noise. Given an amplifier with an effective noise temperature of 10,000K and a
10MHz bandwidth, what thermal noise level, in dBW, may expect at its output. (k= 1.38*10-23
J/K) Definition (2)
Solution N = 10 log k + 10 log T + 10 log B
(5)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
= –228.6 dBW + 10 log 104 + 10 log 107
= –228.6 + 40 + 70
= –118.6 dBW
6 a) Describe the factors depends on channel capacity.
4 factor each Carrie 1 mark.
Data rate: The rate, in bits per second (bps), at which data can be communicated
Bandwidth: The bandwidth of the transmitted signal as constrained by the transmitter and the
nature of the transmission medium, expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz
Noise: The average level of noise over the communications path
Error rate: The rate at which errors occur, where an error is the reception of a 1 when a 0 was
transmitted or the reception of a 0 when a 1 was transmitted
(4)
b) Define Shannon capacity formula.
Assume that the TV picture is to be transmitted over a channel with 4.5MHz bandwidth and a
35dB signal-to-noise ratio. Find the capacity of the channel(bps)
Definition(2)
Solution(3) For a given level of noise, we would expect that greater signal strength would improve the ability to
receive data correctly in the presence of noise. The key parameter involved in this reasoning is the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR, or S/N), which is the ratio of the power in a signal to the power contained in the noise
that is present at a particular point in the transmission.
SNRdB = 10 log10
The signal-to-noise ratio is important in the transmission of digital data because it sets the upper bound on
the achievable data rate. Shannon’s result is that the maximum channel capacity, in bits per second, obeys
the equation, 1 We use the formula: C = B log2 (1 + SNR)
B = 4.5 × 106 MHz = bandwidth, and
SNRdB = 35 = 10 log10 (SNR),hence
SNR = 10 35/10 = 10 3.5,
and therefore C = 4.5 × 106 log2 (1 + 10 3.5)
= 4.5 × 106 × log2 (3163)
C = (4.5 × 106 × 11.63)
= 52.335 × 106 bps

7 a) List out the benefits of optical fiber compared to twisted pair and coaxial cable.
4 points each carries 1 mark • Greater capacity: The potential bandwidth, and hence data rate, of optical fiber is immense; data rates of
hundreds of Gbps over tens of kilometers have been demonstrated. Compare this to the practical
maximum of hundreds of Mbps over about 1 km for coaxial cable and just a few Mbps over 1 km or up to
100 Mbps to 10 Gbps over a few tens of meters for twisted pair.
• Smaller size and lighter weight: Optical fibers are considerably thinner than coaxial cable or bundled
twisted-pair cable—at least an order of magnitude thinner for comparable information transmission
capacity. For cramped conduits in buildings and underground along public rights-of-way, the advantage of
small size is considerable. The corresponding reduction in weight reduces structural support requirements.
• Lower attenuation: Attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for coaxial cable or twisted
pair and is constant over a wide range.
• Electromagnetic isolation: Optical fiber systems are not affected by external electromagnetic fields.
Thus the system is not vulnerable to interference, impulse noise, or crosstalk. By the same token, fibers do
not radiate energy, so there is little interference with other equipment and there is a high degree of security
from eavesdropping. In addition, fiber is inherently difficult to tap.
• Greater repeater spacing: Fewer repeaters mean lower cost and fewer sources of error. The performance
of optical fiber systems from this point of view has been steadily improving. Repeater spacing in the tens
of kilometers for optical fiber is common, and repeater spacings of hundreds of kilometers have been
demonstrated. Coaxial and twisted-pair systems generally have repeaters every few kilometers.

9 State the advantages of SSB over DSBTC
SSB (1 mark)
Advantage(2 mrak) A popular variant of AM, known as single sideband (SSB), takes advantage of this fact by sending only
one of the sidebands, eliminating the other sideband and the carrier.
The principal advantages of this approach are as follows:
• Only half the bandwidth is required, that is, BT=B where B is the bandwidth of the original signal. For
DSBTC, BT=2B
• Less power is required because no power is used to transmit the carrier or the other sideband.

b) Analyse the reasons for preferring DM over PCM for encoding analog signals that represent
digital data.
Reason(4 mark) Analog signals in the voice band that represent digital data have more high frequency components than
analog voice signals. These higher components cause the signal to change more rapidly over time. Hence,
DM will suffer from a high level of slope overload noise. PCM, on the other hand, does not estimate
changes in signals, but rather the absolute value of the signal, and is less affected than DM.

13 a) A signal is quantised using 10 bit PCM. Find the signal-to-quantization noise ratio.
Equation(1)
Solution(3) (SNR)db = 6.02 n + 1.76, where n is the number of bits used for quantization.
In this case, n=-10 bit
(SNR)db = 60.2 + 1.76

more efficient (lower overhead) than async
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
b) Describe error detection process
Figure (1)
Description(3) Regardless of the design of the transmission system, there will be errors, resulting in the change of one or
more bits in a transmitted frame.
For a given frame of bits, additional bits that constitute an error-detecting code are added by the
transmitter. This code is calculated as a function of the other transmitted bits. Typically, for a data block
of k bits, the error-detecting algorithm yields an error-detecting code of bits, where The error-detecting
code, also referred to as the check bits, is appended to the data block to produce a frame of n bits, which is
then transmitted. The receiver separates the incoming frame into the k bits of data and (n-k) bits of the
error-detecting code. The receiver performs the same error-detecting calculation on the data bits and
compares this value with the value of the incoming error-detecting code. A detected error occurs if and
only if there is a mismatch. Thus P3 is the probability that a frame contains errors and that the error-
detecting scheme will detect that fact.P2 is known as the residual error rate and is the probability that an
error will be undetected despite the use of an error-detecting scheme.

(3)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
error since the parity bit is now included. The parity bit may be in error when there are no errors in the
corresponding data bits. Therefore, the inclusion of a parity bit with each character would change the
probability of receiving a correct message.
17 a) Define hamming distance with example.
Definition (2)
Example(1) The Hamming distance d (v1,v2) between two n-bit binary sequences v1 and v2 is the number of bits in
which v1 and v2 disagree. For example, if
v1 = 011011 v2 = 110001
then
d(v1 , v2) = 3
(3)
b) Demonstrate block code principle with help of an example
Explanation(3)
Example(5) Suppose we wish to transmit blocks of data of length k bits. Instead of transmitting each block as k bits,
we map each k-bit sequence into a unique n-bit codeword.
The preceding example illustrates the essential properties of a block error correcting code. An (n, k) block
(7)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
code encodes k data bits into n-bit codewords. Typically, each valid codeword reproduces the original k
data bits and adds to them (n-k) check bits to form the n-bit codeword. Thus the design of a block code is
equivalent to the design of a function of the form vc=f(vd) where vd is a vector of k data bits and vc is a
vector of n codeword bits.
18 a) List the three benefits of spread spectrum • The signals gains immunity from various kinds of noise and multipath distortion. The earliest
applications of spread spectrum were military, where it was used for its immunity to jamming.
• It can also be used for hiding and encrypting signals. Only a recipient who knows the spreading code can
recover the encoded information.
• Several users can independently use the same higher bandwidth with very little interference. This
property is used in cellular telephony applications, with a technique know as code division multiplexing
(CDM) or code division multiple access (CDMA).

Explanation(4)
(6)
b) Describe the principles of packet switching network.
Figure (1)
Explanation(3)
Data are transmitted in short packets. A typical upper bound on packet length is 1000 octets (bytes). If a
source has a longer message to send, the message is broken up into a series of packets (Figure 10.8). Each
packet contains a portion (or all for a short message) of the user’s data plus some control information. The
control information, at a minimum, includes the information that the network requires to be able to route
the packet through the network and deliver it to the intended destination. At each node en route, the packet
is received, stored briefly, and passed on to the next node
(4)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
Consider a packet to be sent from station A to station E.The packet includes control information that
indicates that the intended destination is E. The packet is sent from A to node 4. Node 4 stores the packet,
determines the next leg of the route (say 5), and queues the packet to go out on that link (the 4–5
link).When the link is available, the packet is transmitted to node 5, which forwards the packet to node 6,
and finally to E
20 a) Compare and contrast circuit switching and datagram packet switching (6)
Studoob.in - Where Learning is Entertainment
b) What is the significance of packet size in a packet switching network?
Figure(1)
Explanation(3) There is a significant relationship between packet size and transmission time. As a smaller packet size is
used, there is a more efficient "pipelining" effect, as shown in Figure. However, if the packet size
becomes too small, then the transmission is less efficient.
