1. In this question, we will consider a nonlinear method for generating Conventional AM


signal. Consider the system in the figure 1 below.

Figure 1
Assume that the non linear device has the input-output relationship of the form
y(t) =a1x(t) +a2x2(t). Assume that the message is normalized, i.e, �(�) ≤ 1 and it has a
bandwidth of W.
a) Write the equation for y(t)
b) Describe the filter that yields an AM signal for g(t). Give the necessary filter type
c) Write the equation for g(t)

2. An angle modulated signal with carrier frequency fc= 2MHz is described by the equation
S(t)= 10cos(2�fct +5Sin(4000�t))
a) Find the power of the modulated signal
b) Find the peak phase deviation
c) Find the peak frequency deviation
d) Estimate the Bandwidth of the modulated signal
e) Determine wether this is a narrowband or wide band signal
3. The system shown in Figure 2, below is used for scrambling Audio signals. The output
�(�) is the scrambled version of the input �(�)

Figure 2
a) Find the spectrum of the scrambled signal, �(�)
b) If the power of �(�) is 10�, what is the power of scrambled signal, �(�)
c) What type of modulation does this system correspond to?
d) Suggest a method of descrambling �(�) to obtain �(�). Draw the block diagram
e) Now assume that the lowpass filter is removed, what type of modulation does this
system correspond to?

4. You are asked to design a FM transmitter(Armstrong) for an Audio signal band-limited to


10KHz with the following constraints.
a) You have to use a narrowband FM generator with fc1=100KHz and peak frequency
deviation ∆f = 10KHz.
b) The final carrier frequency is 100MHz.
c) The final peak frequency deviation is 50KHz.
d) A variable frequency Oscillator in the range of 9 - 11MHz is available.
e) Plenty of frequency doublers and quintuplers are available.
Give the block diagram of the system and specify the frequency multiplier, the local
Oscillator frequency and the carrier frequency, and the frequency deviation at the output of
each block. Show your work to get full credit.
5. Two signal m1(t) and m2(t) with the given spectra are to be transmitted simultaneously
over a channel by the multiplexing scheme shown in figure 3. The signal at point B is the
multiplexed signal, which is modulated by a carrier of frequency 20KHz. The modulated
signal at point C is transmitted over a channel.

Figure 3

a) Sketch the at points A, B, and C. Label the amplitude and the frequency axes
b) What must be the minimum bandwidth of the channel to transmit the modulated
signal.
c) Design and sketch the block diagram of a receiver that will recover signals m1(t) and
m2(t) from the modulated signal at point C. Specify the type and the cutoff frequency
for every filter you use in your design as well as giving the specifications for any
other component that you might use.

6. Consider the DSB transmitter and receiver shown in Figure4. The message signal has
bandwidth �, the pre-detection filter is a band pass filter centered at �� with bandwidth
equal to 2� and the post-detection filter is a low pass filter with band width �. Unlike
the Coherent demodulation, the local oscillator in the receiver has a phase error equal
to an unknown constant �, �(�) is white gaussian noise with a power spectral density,
�
�� � = � 2

Figure 4
For the following questions, express your answers in terms of �� , � � , �� , �, �
a) Find an expression for the SNR at the output of the Pre-detection filter
b) Find an expression for the SNR at the output of the system.
c) Interpret your results, i.e., how does the SNR change with �

7. The signal G(t) emerging from an AM communication system consists of two parts: the
message signal, s (t), and additive noise. The plot below shown in Fugre 5, the message
spectrum S (f) and noise power spectrum PN (f) . The noise power spectrum lies
completely within the signal's band, and has a constant value there of ��/2

Figure 5

(a) What is the message signal's power?


(b) What is the signal-to-noise ratio?
(c) Because the power in the message decreases with frequency, the signal-to-noise
ratio is not constant within sub bands. What is the signal-to-noise ratio in the upper
half of the frequency band?
(d) A clever student suggests filtering the message before the transmitter modulates it
so that the signal spectrum is balanced (constant) across frequency. Realizing that
this filtering affects the message signal, the student realizes that the receiver must
also compensate for the message to arrive intact. Draw a block diagram of this
communication system. How does this system's signal-to-noise ratio compare with
that of the usual AM radio?
8. Noise effect on DSB-SC. Consider a g(t) of the DSB-SC using the following notation: A is
the amplitude of the carrier, fc is the carrier frequency, m(t) is the message signal, n(t) is
the noise, nc(t) is the in-phase component of the noise, ns(t) is thequadrature phase
component of the noise, and No is the power spectral density for the noise.
a) Provide an expression for DSB-SC signal g(t)
b) Name a detection method suitable for recovering the message signal from g(t).
c) Draw a block diagram to the DSB-SC tansmission, the additive white noise channel
and the receiver structure using the detection method identified in part (b).
d) Give an expression for the pre-detection SNR at front end receiver.
e) Derive an expression for the detector output
f) Let the message signal power be denoted by P= E{m2(t)}. Based on the expression
obtained in part (e), derive post- detection SNR at receiver output.
g) Using the result in part (a), determine the transmission power of the DSB-SC signal
and (SNR)ref.
h) Give an expression for Figure of merit.
