1. (a) Is there any relationship between transmission media and topology? Justify your answer with

(d) What do you mean by the Bit interval and Bit rate in a digital signal? (2) 2. (a) List the steps that take an analog signal to PCM digital code. (2) (b) If a periodic signal is decomposed into five sine waves with frequencies of 100, 300, 500, 700 and 900 Hz, what is its bandwidth? Draw the spectrum, assuming all components have a maximum amplitude of 10 V. (3) (c) We have a channel with a 1-MHz bandwidth. The SNR for this channel is 63. Find the appropriate bit rate and signal level? (2) (d) Calculate the propagation time and the transmission time for a 2.5-kbyte message (an e-mail) if the bandwidth of the network is 1 Gbps? Assume that the distance between the sender and the receiver is 12,000 km and that light travels at 2.4 108 m/s. (3)
