1.(short question) each containing 2 marks.

(a) Define Flow Control and Error control briefly.
(b) What is Encapsulation of data?
(c) Explain Maximum data rate of a channel.
(d) What is ‘Shannon Capacity’? How it is different from Nyquist bit rate?
(e) Explain the characteristics of Analog and Digital signal.

Broad questions of 16 marks each.

2.
(a)What is Periodic and Nonperiodic signals?
Can we say if a signal is periodic or nonperiodic by just looking at its frequency
domain plot? How?
[4+2+2]
(b) Briefly describe Composite signal and Peak amplitude.
A periodic composite signal contains frequencies from 20 to 30 KHz, each with
an amplitude of 8V. Draw the frequency spectrums.

3. (a)Differentiate Serial and Parallel transmission.

(b)What is Asynchronous and Synchronous transmission?
(c)Distinguish between data rate and signal rate.
(d)Briefly describe AM, FM and PM.
[4+4+2+6]
4. (a)What are the components of a data communication system?
(b)Explain protocols in details.
(c)Explain why a digital signal requires to undergo a change before transmitting
it through a band pass channel.
(d)Differentiate between the working of data link layer, network layer and
transport layer.
