Question no.1: Find the BER probability,Pe ,of an M-PSK system for a 14.4kbps signal.

Amplitude is 15mW, and noise density,N0 ,is 10−9 W/Hz.

Question no.2: A noncoherent orthogonal M-FSK system carries 3 bits per symbol. The
Eb
system is designed for N0
= 6dB. What is the maximum bit error rate probability?Find the

bandwidth efficiency of the system.

Question no.3: Consider the four signal waveforms as shown in fig. 2.

Part (a): Determine the dimensionality of the waveforms and a set of basis functions.

Part (b): Use the basis functions to represent the four waveforms by vectors.

Part (c): Determine the minimum distance between all the vector pairs.

Question no.4: Show that the transmitted signal for MSK can be written as
q
2Eb πt
sM SK (t) = Tb
cos[2πfc t − mI (t)mQ (t) 2T b
+ φk ]

Question no.5: Consider the three signal waveforms φ1 (t), φ2 (t), φ3 (t) shown in fig. 1.

Part (a): Show that these waveforms are orthonormal.

Part (b): Express the waveform x(t) as a linear combination of φi (t) and find the coefficients,

where x(t) is given as


 2, 0 ≤ t < 2;
x(t) =
 4, 2 ≤ t < 4.

Question no.6: Design a Gaussian pulse-shaping filter with BT = 5 for a symbol rate of

19.2kbps. Write expressions for, and plot, the impulse response and frequency response of

the filter. If this filter were used to produce GMSK in 30kHz RF channels, what percentage

of the total radiated energy would fall out-of-band?Repeat for the case of BT = 0.2, and

BT = 0.75.

Question no.7: Derive a mathematical expression for decision regions Zi that minimizes
error probability assuming that messages are not equally likely - that is, assuming p(mi ) =
1
pi (i = 1, ...., M ), where pi is not necessarily equal to M
. Slove for these regions in the case of

QPSK modulation with s1 = (Ac , 0), s2 = (0, Ac ), s3 = (−Ac , 0), and s4 = (0, −Ac ), assuming

p(s1 ) = p(s3 ) = 0.2 and p(s1 ) = p(s3 ) = 0.3.

Question no.8: Matlab Work: Simulate a GMSK signal and verify that the Gaussian filter

bandwidth has a major impact on the spectral shape of the signal. Plot spectral shapes for

(a) BT=0.2, (b) BT=0.5, and (c) BT=1.
