Roselyn Jimenez · Answer 1

The answer is explained below for the sampling frequency

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

The frequency Fm1 = 1 kHz

The frequency Fm2 = 5 kHz

Fs = n (2Fm2)

so,

[Fs = 8 * (2 * 5) = 80 8kHz], This the sampling frequency for 8-bit A/D converter

Now,

By increasing quantization level we can also increase the substantial noise ratio
