Define the quality factor. On what factors does the cut-off frequency of a rectangular waveguide depend? Derive expressions in support of your answer.

The quality factor (Q) of any resonant or anti resonant circuit is a measure of frequency selectivity and it defined by the equation

How is a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) used for demodulation of FM signal? Mention the advantage of PLL demodulation.

The PLL is useful in demodulation of FM signals in presence of large noise and low signal power (low signal to noise ratio). It is most switched for using space vehicle to earth data links or where loss along the transmission path is very large recently it has found application is commercial FM receivers.

Explain with suitable block diagram the generation of FM signal using Armstrong method.

The generation of FM waveform by indirect method is also known as Armstrong Method. In the indirect method a narrow band FM signal is generated first after that this NBFM signal is frequency multiplied to generate WBFM.

What is meant by entropy of a source?

In a practical communication system, we usually transmit long sequence of symbols from an information source. Thus we are more interested in the average information that a source produces than the information contain of a single symbol.

Write short notes on:

  • VOC (Voltage Control Oscillator)

The block diagram of voltage control oscillator is given in . 9. In most the cases, the frequency of an oscillation is determined by the time constant RC. However, in cases or applications such as FM., tone generation, and frequency shifting keying (FSK), the frequency is to be controlled by means of an input voltage, called the control voltage.

  • Ring modulator

A typical circuit diagram of Ring modulator is given in Figure 10(a). The ring modulator consists of two centre trap transformers T1, T2 and four non-linear devices i.e. p-n junction diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4. Carrier signal c(t) with frequency fc is applied at the center tapes of two transformers.

Write a short note on TDM (Time Division Multiplexing).

The Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a multiplexing method by which multiple number of channel containinformation passes over a common transmission media or channel at different time slots. In other way TDM is a technique in which combining the digital message signal from different sources on a single data stream and transmit over a common channel at different time slot.
