A speech signal has a total duration of 20 sec. It is sampled at the rate of 8 kHz and then PCM encoded. The signal-to-quantization noise ratio is required to be 40 dB. The minimum storage capacity needed to accommodate this signal is Correct Answer 140 KBytes

(SNR)q = 1.76 + 6.02(n) = 40 dB, n = 6.35 We take the n = 7. Capacity = 20 x 8k x 7 = 1.12 Mbits = 140 Kbytes.

A signal containing only two frequency components (3 kHz and 6 kHz) is sampled at the rate of 8 kHz, and then passed through a low pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 8 kHz. The filter output
Assertion (A): Nyquist rate of sampling is the theoretical minimum sampling rate at which the signal can be sampled and still be reconstructed from its samples. Reason (R): When the Nyquist rate sampling is used, only an ideal low pass filter can be used to extract signal x(t) from sampled signal xs(t). Code:
