Analogue and Digital Signals problem 7


The digital transmission of speech may be represented by the block diagram in the figure below.




  • State the purpose of the parallel-to-serial converter.


  • Part of the signal from the microphone is shown in the graph below.




    The ADC (analogue-to-digital converter) samples the analogue signal at a frequency of . Each sample from the ADC is a four-bit digital number where the smallest bit represents . The first sample is taken at time zero. Use the graph above to determine the four-bit digital number produced by the ADC at times
