10
| 4/18 | 4/27 | 4/28 |
Topics, Reveiw FM, Probablility and Random Variables Review Chapter 4 Read 5.1. Do 4.4, 4.5, 4.20, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5 |
9
| 4/02 | 4/13 | 4/18 |
Topics: Superheterodyne tuning, FM, PM. Read 3.5, Review "Appendix 3A, page 156, Read Chapter 4 Do 3-A (not in text), 4.1, 4.2 Hints on problem 4.1 --For part one you should leave the integral unsolved. The "sine integral" is a tabulated function with no known analytic solution. Just show the integral in your solution. Some details of the Sine Integral can be found here A well known but heavy authority on topics like this is the handbook by Abramowitz and Stegun. Available in the John and Louise Hulst Library (you will see that this handbook is literally heavy) or electronically. See especially Section 5.2 if you like these details. You should also pay attention to units. The modulation index, is always dimensionless (e.g. radians). The deviation constant, kf is usually in Hz/V in our text. --For part three, delete the word "content" from the question. Since the frequency and phase of the R.F. signal vary only slowly relative to the carrier you can assume m(t) = 0 to find the power and you will get the same result as if m(t) were not zero. --For part four use Carson's Rule. |
8
| 3/23 | 3/30 | 4/04 |
Topics: SSB-SC, Hilbert Tranform, VSB, FDM, QAM Read 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 2.6, 3.4 Do 3.16, 3.17, 3.24 |
7
| 3/5 | 3/23 | 3/26 |
Topics: DSB-SC, DSB-LC, Implementations, Read 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 but omit 3.2.3, 3.2.4 Do 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.14 Hints on 3.3: Use a computer for plotting. (Matlab or Mathcad for example.) You cannot easily get an accurate enough plot by hand. I Suggest letting A = 1 and fo = 5 Hz. |
6
| 2/27 | 3/02 | 3/07 |
Topics: Modulation, Correlation, autocorr. Review 2.2, 2.3, Read 2.5, 2.7, 2.8 Do 2.34.6, 2.46.4, 2.50 |

| 2/13 | 2/27 | 2/29 |
Topics: Convolution, F. Series, F. Transform Review Sections 2.1, 2.2, Read 2.3 Do 2.34.4, 2.39.4, 2.26, 2.46.1 On Friday, 2/24 the due date was changed from 2/24 to to 2/27 as per disscussion in class. |
4
| 1/27 | 2/10 | 2/13 |
Topics: Convolution, Fourier Series Read Section 2.1.5 and all of Section 2.2 Do 2.34.2, 2.34.3, 2.39.5, 2.39.11, 2.39.12 Optional: Make your own *.wav file (example) Optional: Try out a java applet on aliasing. Optoinal: You Tube on aliiasing On Wednesday, 2/01, the due date on this assignment was changed from 2/03 to 2/10 on account of the "Big Tour" field trip. |

| 1/20 | 1/27 | 1/30 |
Topics: Types of signals & systems, convolution Review Section 2.1. Do 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.24 Note errata on Problem 2.6. Note: On Wednesday, 1/25 as per discussion in class, Problem 2.34.3 was moved from this problem set to the next. |

| 1/11 |
1/20 | 1/23 |
Topics: Types of Signals and Systems, Matlab Read Chapter 1, Chapter 2 Section 2.1 Do (page 105) 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.5, 2.1.7, 2.1.9 Use a Matlab script ("m-file") to make the plots. Write the problem statement into the script as a comment. Import the script and the plot into a word processor file to control fomatting and to print. Note errata on page 31, and errata on page 43, and errata on page 44. Here is a sample answer you may copy for Problem 2.1.1 (on page 105) |

| 1/11 | 1/13 | --- |
Topics: History of and overview of Comm Systems Read Chapter 1. (There is nothing to turn in.) Note errata on page 10 |
Note 1) |
Homework solutions are usually available one or two class periods
after the due date. Click the "returned date" on this page to
access the solutions. If the "Returned" date is not a link (is
black, not gold) then the solution is not yet posted. Check back
later. If you click the link and get a login screen instead of
the solutions, log in using your usual courses@dordt username and
password. Then use the back icon (or alt-left-arrow on the
keyboard) twice to get back to the link on this page and click
the link again. The link only works when you are logged in to
courses@dordt.

Note 2) |
Problems sets shown above with no "assigned" date are
tentative. More problems might be added, expected due dates
might change, but problems shown will eventually be assigned.
