PROBLEMS
The objective of these introductory problems are to introduce the novice to simple relations between the sampling rate and the bit rate in PCM coded sequences.
1.1. Consider an audio signal, s(n), sampled at 44.1 kHz and digitized using a) 8-bit, b) 24-bit, and c) 32-bit resolution. Compute the data rates for the cases (a)–(c). Give the number of samples within a 16-ms frame and compute the number of bits per frame.
1.2. List some of the typical data rates (in kb/s) and sampling rates (in kHz) employed in applications such as a) video streaming, b) audio streaming, c) digital audio broadcasting, d) digital compact cassette, e) MiniDisc, f) DVD, g) DVD-audio, h) SACD, i) MP3, j) MP4, k) video conferencing, and l) cellular telephony.
