Answer 1 (2 Points):
The task of clock synchronization is to minimize the sampling error TS . The analog PLL has to be modified as follows:
1. the multiplicator has to be changed by a sampler
2. the output of the VCO should be a series of Dirac-impulse, switching the sampler on and off, instead of a sinusoidal function.
3. the lowpass has to be substituted by a device that generates an output being pro- portional to the sampling error.
Answer 2 (2 Points):
Entropy is the average information content of an alphabet X
H(X ) =
pl · ld(pl).
It takes its maximum if all the probabilities are the same, so
pl = 1
Answer 3 (2 Points):
The principal disadvantage are the phase jumps which cause a higher bandwidth occupa- tion. To circumvent this problem, continuous phase modulation techniques can be applied instead.

Answer 1 (2 Points):
In the data stream a training sequence, which is known to the receiver, is periodically inserted. The receiver can estimate the channel impulse repsonse, since for a certain time slot it knows the transmitted signal – the training sequence – as well as the received signal. Hence, by cross-correlation, which leads to a linear system of equations, the channel impulse response can be estimated and similiarly by use of this estimated impulse response the user data can be equalized. Due to the periodically inserting of a training sequence the distortions caused through a slowly time-variant channel can be compensated by periodically updating the impulse response estimate. A typical practical scenario is given by a wireless communication channel where at least one user is moving in time.
Answer 2 (2 Points):
Cs|Gauss = fco ld
For the signal-to-noise power ratio we obtain 1.9215dB.
Answer 3 (2 Points):
The principal disadvantage are the phase jumps which cause a higher bandwidth occupa- tion. To circumvent this problem, continuous phase modulation techniques can be applied instead.
Answer 4 (2 Points):
• The Viterbi-algorithm is of recursive nature. For incorporating a new sample only two additions, one convolution and one multiplication (squaring) is required.
• Only a limited number of state transitions must be calculated by using the Viterbi- algorithm, those transitions which are impossible are not calculated. This additio- nally saves numerically costs.

Answer 1 (2 Points):
2BT -Theorem: For large bandwidth(B)-duration (T ) product the required dimension N for the vector representation of a signal with approximate duration T and approximate bandwidth B has the approximate dimension N = 2BT .
Shannon-bandwidth:
2T .
In contrast to more concrete definitions than this abstract definition, the Shannon band- width is the minimum amount of bandwidth that the signal needs. Any of the more prac- tical definitions of bandwidth expresses the amount of bandwidth that the signal actually uses.
Answer 2 (2 Points):
sum of bandwidth of all source signals sn(t) ,
which is a measure for a more or less efficient use of the available bandwidth. A band spreading factor near, but not lower than one indicates a very effective modulation me- thod, whereas β < 1 automatically leads to a loss of information. Obviously, the higher the band spreading factor is,the worse is the modulation method concering the valuable bandwidth. It should be pointed out that the notation bandwidth only concerns positive frequencies.
DSBAMwC: β = 2, QAM: β = 1, SSBAMwC: β = 1, VSBAMsC: 2 > β > 1.
Answer 3 (2 Points):
In the data stream a training sequence, which is known to the receiver, is periodically inserted. The receiver can estimate the channel impulse repsonse, since for a certain time slot it knows the transmitted signal – the training sequence – as well as the received signal. Hence, by cross-correlation, which leads to a linear system of equations, the channel impulse response can be estimated and similiarly by use of this estimated impulse response the user data can be equalized. Due to the periodically inserting of a training sequence the distortions caused through a slowly time-variant channel can be compensated by periodically updating the impulse response estimate. A typical practical scenario is given by a wireless communication channel where at least one user is moving in time.
