1. In a QAM system (Fig. 1), the locally generated carrier has a frequency error ∆ω and a phase error δ;
that is, the receiver carrier is cos[(ωc + ∆ω )t + δ] or sin[(ωc + ∆ω )t + δ]. Show that the output of the
upper receiver branch is
instead of m2 (t).
2. An LSB signal is demodulated synchronously, as shown in Fig. 2. Unfortunately, the local carrier is not
2 cos ωc t as required, but is 2 cos[(ωc + ∆ω )t + δ]. Show that:
(a) When δ = 0, the output y(t) is the signal m(t) with all its spectral components shifted (offset) by
∆ω.
(b) When ∆ω = 0, the output is the signal m(t) with phases of all its spectral components shifted by δ.
In each of these cases, explain the nature of distortion.

3. A vestigial filter Hi (ω ) shown in the transmitter of Fig. 3 has a transfer function as shown in Fig. 4. The
carrier frequency is f c = 10 kHz and the baseband signal bandwidth is 4 kHz. Find the corresponding
transfer function of the equalizer filter Ho (ω ) shown in the receiver of Fig. 3.
4. Show that the phase discriminator output in the receiver of Fig. is proportional to α ϕ, where α is the
average value of m2 (t) and ϕ is the phase error (assumed small).
