Digital Communication MCQ for ESE

Q.1 The bandwidth of a ‘N’ bit binary coded PCM signal for modulating a signal having a bandwidth of ‘f’ Hz is

  • (a) \frac{f}{N}Hz
  • (b) \frac{f}{N^2}Hz
  • (c) Nf\;Hz
  • (d) N^2f\;Hz

Answer: (c) Nf\;Hz

Explanation: Bandwidth = \frac{R_b}{2} = \frac{Wf_s}{2}

where, Rb = Bit rate (bits/sec), fs = sampling frequency, fs = 2f, where f = signal bandwidth

\therefore B.W. = \frac{N 2 f}{2} = Nf\;Hz

Q.2 Time division multiplexing requires

  • (a) constant data transmission

Answer: (b) transmission of data samples

Q.3 Quadrature multiplexing is

  • (a) same as FDM
  • (b) same as TDM
  • (c) a combination of FDM and TDM
  • (d) the scheme where the same carrier frequency is used for two different signals

Answer: (d) the scheme where the same carrier frequency is used for two different signals

Q.4 The ramp signal m(t) = at is applied to a delta modulator with sampling period Ts and step size \delta. Slope overload distortion would occur if

  • (a) \delta < a
  • (b) \delta > a
  • (c) \delta < aT_s
  • (d) \delta > aT_s

Answer: (c) \delta < aT_s

Q.5 In a PCM system each quantization level is encoded into 8 bits. The signal-to-quantization noise ratio is equal to

  • (a) 24 dB
  • (b) 48 dB
  • (c) 64 dB
  • (d) 256 dB

Answer: (b) 48 dB

Explanation: \frac{S}{N_q}(dB)\approx 6n, where n -> number of bits

\frac{S}{N_q}(dB)\approx 6 \times 8 \approx 48\; dB

Q.6 Generally, a transversal type equalizer with 5 taps can take care of distorted signal due to intersymbol interference in the received signal at

  • (a) 4 sampling instants
  • (b) 5 sampling instants
  • (c) 9 sampling instants
  • (d) 10 sampling instants

Answer: (b) 5 sampling instants

Q.7 For a 10-bit PCM system, the signal-to-quantization noise ratio is 62 dB. if the number of bits is increased by 2, then the signal-to-quantization noise ratio will

  • (a) increased by 6 dB
  • (b) increased by 12 dB
  • (c) decreased by 6 dB
  • (d) decreased by 12 dB

Answer: (b) increased by 12 dB

Explanation: \frac{S}{N_q}(dB)\approx 6n, where n -> number of bits

If the number of bits increased by 2, then the S/Nq will be increased by 6 x 2 = 12 dB

Q.8 For a given data rate, the bandwidth \beta_p of a BPSK signal and the bandwidth \beta_0 of the OQPSK signal are related as

  • (a) \beta_p = \beta_0/2
  • (b) \beta_p = 2\beta_0

  • (d) \beta_p = \beta_0

Answer: (b) \beta_p = 2\beta_0

Q.9 In a certain ’12 channel TDM’ system, it is found that channel number 3 and channel number 8 are connected to the same input signal. The technique
