    higher than the Nyquist rate. The max acceptable error in the sample amplitude (max. quantization error) is 0.5% of peak amplitude Vp. The quantized samples are binary coded. Find out the minimum bandwidth required to transmit the encoded binary signal. If 24 such signals are TDM, determine the minimum bandwidth required to transmit the multiplexed signal—

    The bandwidth of a signal is defined as the range of frequencies where most of the energy or power lies. So for the same amplitude, square wave passes highest energy or power among the given wave.
    Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: A

    From given figure since x(f) has spectral peak at 1kHz, output of balanced modulator will give
    (fc ± fm) i.e. (10 ± 1)
    which passes through the HPF with cut-off frequency ωc = 10 kHz. So output after HPF get only 11 kHz signal, again after mixing with balanced modulator the output frequencies will be (fc ± f1) kHz i.e. 24 kHz and 2 kHz. Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
