A sinusoidal message signal is converted to a PCM signal using a uniform quantizer. The required signal to quantization noise ratio (SQNR) at the output of the quantizer is 40dB. The minimum number of bits per sample needed to achieve the desired SQNR is ________ .

A binary baseband digital communication system employs the signal $$$p\left( t \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{T_s}} }},} & {0 \le t \le {T_s}} \cr {0,} & {otherwise} \cr } ,} \right.$$$

for transmission of bits. The graphical representation of the matched filter output y(t) for this signal will be
