Course Outcomes:

After studying this course, students will be able to:

1. Analyze and compute performance of AM and FM modulation inthe presence of noise at the receiver.

2 Analyze and compute performance of digital formatting processes with quantization noise.

3. Multiplex digitally formatted signals at Transmitter.

4. Demultiplex the signals and reconstruct digitally formatted signals at the receiver.

5. Design /Demonstrate the use of digital formatting in Multiplexers, Vocoders and Video transmission.

 

Question paper pattern:

• Examination will be conducted for 100 marks with question paper containing 10 full questions, each of 20 marks.

• Each full question can have a maximum of 4 sub questions.

• There will be 2 full questions from each module covering all the topics of the module.

• Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.

• The total marks will be proportionally reduced to 60 marks as SEE marks is60.
