Frequency (Hz)
From the frequency plot, it looks like the highest frequency spike appears at 5.8 kHz. This means the sample rate should
be at least 2 (5.8 kHz)=11.6 kHz.
Practice Problem 21.2
Consider the following analog waveform. This waveform is sampled at a 500 Hz rate and quantized with a 2-bit quantizer
(i.e., A/D converter) The input range is -1.0 to +1.0 V.
a. Circle the sample points (first sample is at time t = 0 sec).
b. Indicate the quantization intervals and corresponding digital words.
c. Indicate the digital word assigned to each sample point.
d. What is the stream of binary bits generated after the A/D conversion is complete?.
e. What is the resulting bit rate from this A/D?
a. Since fs = 500 Hz, Ts = 1/fs = 1/500 Hz = 2 msec. A sample is taken every 2 msec.
b. Using a 2-bit quantizer, there are 22 = 4 quantization intervals. The resolution is
vmax − vmin 1 − (−1)
=q = = 0.5 V
2N 22
The intervals and digital words are as shown.
