If a transmission system has bandwidth B=8000 Hz and uses 4 values of voltage, find the maximum data rate in bits per second using the Nyquist formula D=2B log2 K, where D is the maximum data rate in bits per second and K is the number of values of voltage. |

If a transmission system has bandwidth B = 5000 Hz and an S/N ratio equivalent to 20 dB, find the maximum data rate C in bits per second using the Shannon formula C = B log2 (1+S/N), where the S/N ratio is equivalent to 10 log10 S/N in dB. |
10xlog10S/N=20 à log10S/N=2 àS/N=100

In CDM, suppose the A’s chip sequence is (0, 1) and B’s chip sequence is (1, 0). If A sends 1 and B sends 0, what is the value computed by C to receive A’s data? |
Received signal is (-1, 1)1+(1,-1)-1=(-2, 2). To recover the bit sent, C computes (-2, 2)*(-1, 1)=2+2=4. Since 4>0, the bit sent is a 1 (positive value interpreted as a 1 as on p. 193-194). |

16 bits have 216 possible values, which is the number of levels. The data rate is: 8000 samples/s * 16 bits/sample = 128, 000 bits/s = 128 kbps. |
