a)
An important problem in communications is the efficient representation of data generated by a discrete source.Table Q3a shows a set of symbols with their respective probabilities. Table Q3(a) Symbol So S S2 S4 Ss S6 Probability0.06250.25 0.125 0.0625 0.125 0.25 0.125
The symbols are encoded using Shannon-Fano codingAnalyse the set of symbols to identify the respective binary code for each symbol in the table
b) Caleulate the code efficiency and entropy of the second-order extension of the source based on the binary code obtained in Q3(a)
c)
Alphanumeric data are entered into a computer from a remote terminal through a voice-grade telephone channel.The channel has a bandwidth of 3.4kHz and output signal to noise ratio of 27.09 dB. The terminal has a total of 256 symbols. Assume that the symbols are equiprobable and the successive transmissions are statistically independent.Calculate the maximum symbol rate (baud rate for which error -free transmission over the channel is possible.
d) State two advantages and one disadvantage of digital transmission over analog transmission
