4. 
What are the bits transmitted for the AMI and Pseudoternary System?
a) 101101
b) 101100
c) 010010
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Pseudoternary Has alternating high and low levels as 0 and neutral level as logic 1.

5. Five channels, each with a 100-kHz bandwidth, are to be multiplexed together. What is the minimum bandwidth of the link if there is a need for a guard band of 10 kHz between the channels to prevent interference?
a) 4600 kHz
b) 500 kHz
c) 540 kHz
d) 580 kHz
View Answer
Explanation: For five channels, we need at least four guard bands. This means that the required bandwidth is at least 5 × 100 + 4 × 10 = 540 kHz.
6. Find the checksum byte for the fallowing data words: 10110011, 10101011, 01011010, 11010101
a) 10001101
b) 01110010
c) 10110101
d) 01110010
View Answer
Explanation: Do binary addition to compute the result.
7. Generate the CRC codeword for the message x3+1 using the generator polynomial x3+x+1.
a) 1001101
b) 1001001
c) 1001110
d) 1001111
View Answer
Explanation: M(x) = 1001. G(x) = 1011.
x3*M(x) = 1001000.
On Dividing we get remainder as 110. Therefore, Codeword is 1001110.
8. Generate the CRC codeword for the data word 1101011011 using generator 10011. Also write both in the polynomial form.
a) 11010110110011
b) 11010110110110
c) 11010110111100
d) 11010110111110
View Answer
Explanation: Solve using polynomial division and then appending the remainder to the divisor.
9. What is the hamming distance between these 2 codes: 10010010 and 11011001?
a) 3
b) 4
c) 6
d) 2
View Answer
Explanation: Hamming distance is number of dissimilar bits between 2 streams.
10. What is the hamming code for the data: 1001101?
a) 10011100101
b) 11010000101
c) 10001100101
d) 11111001011
View Answer
Explanation: Find the 1st 2nd 4th and 8th bits using the hamming algorithm and thus proceed to get the hamming code.
11. 10010100101 is the code received. Find the error bit.
a) 7
b) 5
c) 2
d) 3
View Answer
Explanation: Error occurs in bit 7 and can be found via hamming code.
