For a BJT, the common-base current gain $$\alpha = \,\,0.98$$ and the colector base junction reverse bias saturation current I_co = 0.6 $$\mu {\rm A}$$. This BJT is connected in the common emitter mode and operated in the active region with a base drive current I_B = 20$$\mu {\rm A}$$. The collector current I_c for this mode of operation is

For the BJT Q₁ in the circuit shown below, $$\beta = \infty ,\,\,\,\,{V_{BEon\,}}\, = \,0.7V,\,\,\,{V_{CEsat}}\, = \,0.7V.$$. The switch is initially closed. at time t = 0, the switch is opened. The time t at which q₁ leaves the active region is

A four phase and an eight-phase signal constellation are shown in the figure below.

Assuming high SNR and that all signals are equally probable, the additional average transmitted signal energy required by the 8-PSK signal to achieve the same error probability as the 4-PSK signal is

X(t) is a stationary random process with autocorrelation function R_x$$\left( \tau \right)$$= exp$$\left( { - \pi {\tau ^2}} \right)$$. This process is passed through the system shown below. The power spectral density of the output process Y(t) is
