A
Fill in the Blank Type Question
Question 1 Explanation: 
Given X,Y are Random variables
As per The given data
E[2x + y] = 0
E[x + 2y] = 33

⇒ 2E(X) + E(Y) = 0.........(1)
⇒ E(X) + 2 E(Y) = 33......(2)

Solving (1) and (2);
2E(x) + E(y) = 0
2E(x) + 4E(y) = 66 [equ2 mul by 2 and + to -]
------------------------------
-3E(y) = -66
E(y)=22

From (1); 2E(x) + E(y)= 0
2E(x) = -E(y)
2E(x)= -22
E(x)= -11


By solving (1) and (2)
we got E(Y) = 22
E(X) = −11
∴E(X) + E(Y) = 22 − 11 = 11

Question 83
In a PCM system, non-uniform quantization leads to
A
increased quantizer noise
B

Question 83 Explanation: 
In PCM system non – uniform quantization leads to higher average SNR.
  • If uniform quantization is used, low amplitude signals of voice are quantized to the same value. This problem is eliminated using non-uniform quantization. If non-uniform quantization is used the average SNR will increase.
  • Higher average signal to quantization noise power ratio than the uniform quantizer when the signal pdf is non uniform which is the case in many practical situation.
  • Non - uniform quantization minimizes the distortion with same no of levels. Hence bandwidth requirement is same.
  • Non - uniform quantizer has higher average SNR than uniform quantization
  • RMS value of the quantizer noise power of a non – uniform quantizer is substantially proportional to the sampled value and hence

4) No time is taken to establish connection
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
A
1 and 3
B
1 and 2
C
2 and 3
D
3 and 4
Question 87 Explanation: 
Option 1 : is TRUE Greater quick efficiency than circuit switching because of effective resource utilization in packet switching

Option 2 : is TRUE As packet switching is implemented at network layer of model. Congestion can be handled. So, connections are not blocked.

Option 3 and 4 : False As Packet switching may be classified into connectionless packet switching, so we don’t require connection establishment.

What is Packet Switching ?
Packet switching is different from circuit switching because there is no requirement to establish a channel. The channel is available to users throughout the data network. Long messages are broken down into packets and sent individually to the network.

Advantages of Packet Switching
While packet switching may not be as suited to voice calls as circuit switching, it has a number of advantages that are hard to ignore. The main advantage that packet switching has over circuit switching is its efficiency. Packets can find their own data paths to their destination address without the need for a dedicated channel. In contrast, in-circuit switching network devices can’t use the channel until the voice communication has been terminated. Packet switching is also reliable because it helps to eliminate packet loss. With packet switching, data packets can be resent if they don’t reach their destination. This isn’t the case for circuit switching which doesn’t have the means to send lost packets. As a result, packet switching is the more reliable method of the two because it ensures that packets reach their destination. Packet switching also reduces the costs associated with running the network. Packet switching networks can transfer general network traffic and voice traffic across the network without the need for a dedicated channel. This saves you money because you don’t need to pay to have one channel available for voice communications.

Disadvantages of Packet Switching
The biggest limitation of packet switching is that it is unsuitable for applications that require minimal latency. In a network that uses lots of voice calls circuit switching is a necessity because it is the only setup that delivers a high-quality end call. Packet switching can only provide a voice call experience that results in choppy audio that makes it difficult for the users to understand each other. Similarly, though packet switching is able to resend lost data packets, this isn’t the case if the network becomes overwhelmed by traffic. If there is too much traffic then packets will be dropped in transit. The end result is the loss of important data. This risk is further increased by the lack of security protocols used to protect packets during data transmission. There is no IPsec to give packets that extra barrier of security against damage. Though packet switching reduces costs in a number of ways it is significantly expensive to implement. Packet switching relies on a range of complex protocols that must be managed from deployment onward.
Question 88

In a communication network, 4 T1 streams are multiplexed to form 1 T2 stream and 7 T1 streams are multiplexed to form I T3 stream, Further 6 T3 streams are multiplexed to form 1 T4 stream. If each T1 stream is of 1.544 Mbps, the data rate of 1 T4 stream should be
A
211.8 Mbps
B
232.6 Mbps
C
243.4 Mbps
D
274.2 Mbps
Question 89 Explanation: 
Note: There is a printing mistake. 7T2 streams are multiplexed to form 1T3 stream, but given 7T1
4T1 = 1T2
7T2 = 1T3
6T3 = 1T4
T1 = 1.544 Mbps
T4 = 4 × 7 × 6 × 1.544
Therefore the T4 system has a bit rate
∴ T4≈ 274.2 mbps

Small Cell Cellular Network
“A cellular network is a radio network distributed over land through cells where each cell includes a fixed location transceiver known as base station. These cells together provide radio coverage over a larger geographical area. Thus, principal of cellular systems is to divide a large geographic service area into cells with diameters from 2 to 50 Kms, each of which is allocated a number of radio frequency (RF) channels. Today’s cellular networks give subscribers advanced features over alternative solutions, including increased capacity, small battery power usage, a larger geographical coverage area and reduced interference from other signals. Popular cellular technologies include the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), 3GSM and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).

Next, see the figure. x1(t) and 'j' are added to give x2(t). So, basically the given x(t) in question should be modified by moving the negative spectrum of the signal downwards as follows:

Next in the diagram see signal x2(t) and x(t) is getting added. So, let us do the same.

Next is block B. So, spectrum of B will be exactly same as shown in figure (a). So, answer will be option (a)

Question 110
The frequency of the output Y is
A
B
C
D
Question 110 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is A
A closed loop system is shown in the figure.
XOR gates are generally used to implement addition of binary numbers. Ex-Or gates are also regarded as addition modulo-2.
See the first block in the diagram. It can be thought of an summer. So, let us replace it by an Ex-OR gate. Next block can simply be regarded as a register.
So, input to the Ex-Or gate=32bit(Binary Number), and the other input is the output feedback, i.e 32 bit. Now, 'F' is present for both the blocks, which means both have the same synchronized frequency.
Initially, flip flop will be reset. When clock pulses begin, then let 'M' has been locked to a certain value. So, now, frequency of the output will be equal to MF/232
So, now let us assume that clock pulse has been applied.

A random variable z, has a probability density function f(z) where , the probability of will be approximately
A
0.368
B
0.135
C
0.393
D
0.865
Question 111 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is D
We have to find=> P(0
So, this can be written as:
dz[Since f(z)=e-z]
So on solving the integral we get: -e-2+1=>0.8
