By inspecting any device you plug into a wall socket,
you'll see that it is labeled "110 volts AC". What isthe expression for the voltage provided by a wall
socket? What is its rms value?
Modems
The word "modem" is short for "modulator-demodulator."
Modems are used not only for connecting computers totelephone lines, but also for connecting digital
(discrete-valued) sources to generic channels. In thisproblem, we explore a simple kind of modem, in which
binary information is represented by the presence orabsence of a sinusoid (presence representing a "1" and
absence a "0"). Consequently, the modem's transmittedsignal that represents a single bit has the form
Within each bit interval
, the amplitude is either
or zero.
What is the smallest transmission interval that
makes sense with the frequency
?
Assuming that ten cycles of the sinusoid comprise a
single bit's transmission interval, what is thedatarate of this transmission scheme?
Now suppose instead of using "on-off" signaling, we
allow one of several
different values for the amplitude during any transmission
interval. If
amplitude values are used, what is the resulting
datarate?
The classic communications block diagram applies to
the modem. Discuss how the transmitter mustinterface with the message source since the source
is producing letters of the alphabet, not bits.
Advanced modems
To transmit symbols, such as letters of the alphabet, RUcomputer modems use two frequencies (1600 and 1800 Hz)
and several amplitude levels. A transmission is sentfor a period of time
(known as the transmission or baud interval) and equals
the sum of two amplitude-weighted carriers.
We send successive symbols by choosing an appropriate
frequency and amplitude combination, and sending themone after another.
What is the smallest transmission interval that
makes sense to use with the frequencies given above?In other words, what should
be so that an
integer number of cycles of the carrier occurs?
Sketch (using Matlab) the signal that modem produces
over several transmission intervals. Make sure youaxes are labeled.
Using your signal transmission interval, how many
amplitude levels are needed to transmit ASCIIcharacters at a datarate of 3,200 bits/s? Assume use
of the extended (8-bit) ASCII code.
We use a discrete set of values for

If we have
values for amplitude

and
values for
,
we have
possible symbols that can be sent during each
second interval. To
convert this number into bits (the fundamental unit ofinformation engineers use to qualify things), compute

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
