CO4 Design solution for frequency division multiplexing problems in accordance with professional
Description: practices
Answer the following Questions:
Problem 01: Assume four baseband signals, each with a bandwidth of 4 kHz, are to be transmitted over a shared
communication link using Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM). The total
transmission link bandwidth is 44 kHz, spanning from 56 kHz to 100 kHz. To avoid inter-channel interference, a 4 kHz
guard band is maintained between any two adjacent channels. (i) Compute the carrier frequencies to be assigned for
AM modulation of each baseband signal, ensuring proper spacing for the guard bands, (ii) Illustrate the entire
configuration using the time domain equations and frequency domain representation for both FDM multiplexer with
AM modulation and demultiplexer with AM demodulation.
Problem 02: Consider five ground stations each transmitting data at a rate of 12 Gbps to a nearest low earth orbit
satellite through a bandwidth-limited uplink channel of 15.04 GHz. (i) Compute the effective bandwidth per ground
station if bandwidth is allocated evenly while keeping 10 MHz band gap between each ground stations to avoid
interference, (ii) Choose an appropriate modulation scheme and compute its modulation order ‘M’, (iii) Design a
suitable configuration to multiplex the five ground stations using the chosen modulation scheme and FDM with proper
illustration. (iv) Sketch the constellation diagram for 16−QAM, ensuring the following:
• Properly label the axes for in-phase and quadrature components.
• Represent signal amplitudes as ±𝐴 and ±3𝐴 volts.
• Clearly indicate and label all 16 constellation points.
