Passband Data Transmission

FSK
1. A coherent binary FSK system transmits binary data at the rate of 2.5x106 bits per
second. During the course of transmission, white Gaussian noise of zero mean and
power spectral density 10-20 W/Hz is added to the signal. In the absence of noise, the
amplitude of the received sinusoidal wave for digit 1 or 0 is 1mV. Determine the
average probability of symbol error.

2. Determine the transmission bandwidth reduction of 256-QAM, compared to 64-
QAM. (The transmission bandwidth is defined as the null-to-null bandwidth)
3. Two passband data transmission systems are to be compared. One system uses 16-
PSK, and the other uses 16-QAM. Both systems are required to produce an average
probability of symbol error equal to 10-3. Compare the signal-to-noise ratio
requirement of these two systems.

4. Binary data are transmitted over a microwave link at the rate of 106 b/s, and the
power spectral density of the noise at the receiver input is 10-10 W/Hz. Find the

3. The probability of symbol error of M-ary QAM is given by

 1   3E av 
Pe = 21 −  erfc 

 M  2( M − 1) N o 
E av
Setting Pe = 10 −3 and M=16, we get = 58 = 17.6dB .
No

The probability of symbol error of M-ary PSK is given by


 E 
Pe = erfc sin(π / M )  .
 No 

Setting Pe = 10 −3 and M=16, we get = 142 = 21.5dB .
No
Hence, on the average, the 16-PSK demands 21.5 -17.6 = 3,9 dB more symbol energy
than the 16-QAM for Pe = 10 −3 .

4. For Pe = 10 −4 , the Eb / N o of the binary PSK system is 7.0. Hence E b = 3.5 × 10 −10 . The
required average carrier power is 0.35 mW.
For Pe = 10 −4 , the Eb / N o of the DPSK system is 8.5. Hence Eb = 4.3 × 10 −10 . The required
average carrier power is 0.43 mW.

5. For a coherent PSK system, the average probability of error is

Pe =

erfc[ (E b / N o )1 ]

For Pe = 10 −4 , (Eb / N o )1 = 7.2 =8.6 dB and (Eb / N o )2 = 8.5 = 9.3 dB. The separation is 0.7
