ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2006 - Question 15

All ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) papers | ISRO Electronics & Communication (ECE) 2006

Topic: Communication Systems

By doubling the sampling frequency

  • A. Quantisation noise decreases by 3 dB
  • B. Quantisation noise density decreases by 3 dB
  • C. Quantisation noise increases by 3dB
  • D. Quantisation noise density increases by 3 dB

Answer: A. Quantisation noise decreases by 3 dB

Explanation: Quantization noise power is inversely proportional to the sampling frequency when appropriately filtered. Doubling the sampling frequency reduces the noise by a factor of 2, which corresponds to a 3 dB decrease: 10*log10(1/2) = -3 dB.
