A voice signal

is in the frequency range 5 kHz to 15 kHz. The signal is amplitude-modulated to generate an AM signal

, where

kHz. The AM signal

is to be digitized and archived. This is done by first sampling

at 1.2 times the Nyquist frequency, and then quantizing each sample using a 256-level quantizer. Finally, each quantized sample is binary coded using

bits, where

is the minimum number of bits required for the encoding. The rate, in Megabits per second (rounded off to 2 decimal places), of the resulting stream of coded bits is ______ Mbps.

. It is given that

. The signal

is applied to the input of a non-linear device, whose output

is related to the input

, where a and b are positive constants. The output of the non-linear device is passed through an ideal band-pass filter with center frequency

and bandwidth

, to produce an amplitude modulated (AM) wave. If it is desired to have the sideband power of the AM wave to be half of the carrier power, then a/b is
