PCM employing 4 bit code is used to send data having frequency range from 0 to 2 kHz. The minimum required bandwidth of carrier channel is
2 kHz
4 kHz
8 kHz
16 kHz
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Bandwidth required is twice the required frequency range.

In pcm system minimum bandwidth = n * fm =2 * 2khz = 4khz.

Here q = 2^n.
q given as 4 bit.

The right answer is 4khz -> option B.

8 kHz is the right answer.

Yes, you are right @Ayush.

The given answer is wrong because minimum bandwidth required in PCM is ((n * sampling frequency)÷2) and also we know( sampling frequency is = 2 * modulating frequency ) so in this condition the right solution is (4 *2 * 2)÷2 = 8KHz.

This is wrong in pcm as we know bandwidth is equal to no. of bits multiplied by sampling rate here sampling rate is 2 fm and no. of bits are 4 but in question we have to found minimum bandwidth.

So as we use 2 bits per symbol in pcm so right way is no. of bits into fs devided by 2. So answer will be 8.101% sure.
