Option 2 : (a) and (c) are correct
Concept:
Some salient features of a PCM system are:
- Immunity to transmission noise and interference.
- It is possible to regenerate the coded signal along the transmission path.
- The Quantization Noise depends on the number of quantization levels and not on the number of samples produced per second.
Calculation:
The Signal to Noise (SNR) Ratio for a PCM system is given by:
1.8 + 6n dB (where ‘n’ is the number of bits per sample)
For (n+1) number of bits, the Signal to Noise Ratio will be:
1.8 + 6(n+1) dB
So the SNR would increase by 6dB.
Also, the Bandwidth needed for PCM transmission is given by:
BW= nfs (n=number of bits per sample and fs= Sampling frequency)
For 2 bits(4 quantization levels), the Bandwidth = 2fs
For 6 bits(64 quantization levels), the Bandwidth = 6fs
So, the Bandwidth is increased by 3 times, and not 4 times.
So, Option (a) and (c) is correct.
