An ideal opamp has voltage source V₁, V₃, V₅, ......, V_N-1, connected to the non- inverting input and V₂, V₄, V₆, .....V_N connected to the inverting input as shown in the figure below (+V_CC= 15 volt, -V_CC = -15 volt). The voltage V₁, V₂, V₃,V₄, V₅, V₆ ....... are 1, -1/2, 1/3, -1/4, 1/5, -1/6, .... volt, respectively. As N approaches infinity, the output voltage (in volt) is _______

Consider binary data transmission at a rate of 56 kbps using baseband binary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) that is designed to have a raised-cosine spectrum. The transmission bandwidth (in kHz) required for a roll-off factor of 0.25 is ______.

Consider a discreet memoryless source with alphabet $$S = \left\{ {{s_0},\,{s_1},\,{s_2},\,{s_3},\,{s_{4......}}} \right\}$$ and respective probabilities of occurrence $$P = \left\{ {{1 \over 2},\,{1 \over 4},\,{1 \over 8},\,{1 \over {16}},\,{1 \over {32}},......} \right\}$$. The entropy of the source (in bits) is__________.

A digital communication system uses a repetition code for channel encoding/decoding. During transmission, each bit is repeated three times (0 is transmitted as 000, and 1 is transmitted as 111). It is assumed that the source puts out symbols independently and with equal probability. The decoder operates as follows: In a block of three received bits, if the number of zeros exceeds the number of ones, the decoder decides in favor of a 0, and if the number of ones exceeds the number of zeros, the decoder decides in favor of a 1, Assuming a binary symmetric channel with crossover probability p = 0.1, the average probability of error is _______
