The circuit shown is a

The signal m(t) as shown is applied both to a phase modulator (with k_p as the phase constant) and a frequency modulator (with k_f as the frequency constant) having the same carrier frequency.

The ratio k_p/k_f (in rad/Hz) for the same maximum phase deviation is

A source alphabet consists of N symbols with the probability of the first two symbols being the same. A source encoder increases the probability of the first symbol by a small amount $$\varepsilon $$ and decreases that of the second by $$\varepsilon $$. After encoding, the entropy of the source

In a base band communications link, frequencies up to 3500 Hz are used for signaling. Using a raised cosine pulse with 75% excess bandwidth and for no inter-symbol interference, the maximum possible signaling rate in symbols per second is
