(Common to DECS and ECE)
Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 60
Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks
*****

1 (a) State and prove Chebysev inequality.

(b) Joint Gaussian random variable X and Y with m = (1,2) and C =
(i) Find the correlation coefficient between X and Y.

2 (a)
(ii) If find (Z, W).

Explain rectangular QAM with neat signal space diagram.

L D
R
(b) Suppose that a set of M signal waveforms {Sem (t)} are complex - valued. Derive the
equations for the gram Schmidt procedure that will result in a set of N M orthogonal

O
signal wave forms.

3 (a) Write short notes on correlation demodulator.

(b)

W
For the following signal S(t) shown in figure, show that the matched filter output is
autocorrelation function of S(t)

U S (t)

N T A ------------

J

0 T

4 (a) Derive the expression of probability of error for M - ary orthogonal signals.
(b) The usual random phase receiver does not assume any information about the phase of
the previsions bit intervals. In this problem, we explore a phase tracking receiver,
Let the signal set defined over [0, T] be

So (t) = cos 2 t
S1 (t) = 0.
The channel provides a random phase shift and then adds white Gaussian noise.
What is the resulting probability of error of this receiver when a fixed phase error
is assumed?
