An input to a 6-level quantizer has the probability density function f(X) as shown in the figure. Decision boundaries of the quantizer are chosen so as to maximize the entropy of the quantizer output. It is given that 3 consecutive decision boundaries are ‘-1’, ‘0’ and ‘1’.
Assuming that the reconstruction levels of the quantizer are the mid-points of the decision boundaries, the ratio of signal power to quantization noise power is

Two 4-ray signal constellations are shown. It is given that $${\phi _1}$$ and $${\phi _2}$$ constitute an orthonormal basis for the two constellations. Assume that the four symbols in both the constellations are equiprobable. Let $${{{N_0}} \over 2}$$ denote the power spectral density of white Gaussian noise.
The ratio of the average energy of Constellation 1 to the average energy of Constellation 2 is

Let $$g\left( t \right){\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,{\mkern 1mu} = {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} p\left( t \right){}^ * p\left( t \right)$$ where $$ * $$ denotes convolution and $$p(t) = u(t) - u(t-1)$$ with $$u(t)$$ being the unit step function
The impulse response of filter matched to the signal $$s(t) = g(t)$$ $$ - \delta {\left( {t - 2} \right)^ * }\,\,g\left( t \right)$$ is given as:
