FIGURE P39.28 shows a pulse train. The period of the pulse train is T = 2 Δt, where Δt is the duration of each pulse. What is the maximum pulse-transmission rate (pulses per second) through an electronics system with a 200 kHz bandwidth? (This is the bandwidth allotted to each FM radio station.)

Step 1: Understand the relationship between the pulse train period and the pulse duration. The period of the pulse train is given as T = 2Δt, where Δt is the duration of each pulse. This means that the time between the start of one pulse and the start of the next pulse is twice the duration of a single pulse.
Step 2: Recall the concept of bandwidth and its relationship to pulse transmission rate. Bandwidth is the range of frequencies that a system can handle, and it determines the maximum rate at which pulses can be transmitted. The pulse transmission rate is inversely proportional to the period T of the pulse train.
Step 3: Calculate the pulse transmission rate using the formula: Pulse Transmission Rate = 1 / T. Since T = 2Δt, substitute this into the formula to get Pulse Transmission Rate = 1 / (2Δt).
Step 4: Relate the pulse transmission rate to the bandwidth of the system. The maximum pulse transmission rate is limited by the bandwidth of the system, which is given as 200 kHz. This means the pulse transmission rate cannot exceed 200,000 pulses per second.
Step 5: Combine the information to determine the maximum pulse transmission rate. Ensure that the calculated pulse transmission rate (1 / (2Δt)) does not exceed the bandwidth limit of 200 kHz. If Δt is small enough, the system can achieve the maximum rate of 200,000 pulses per second.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Pulse Train

A pulse train is a sequence of pulses that occur at regular intervals. Each pulse has a specific duration, denoted as Δt, and the time between the start of one pulse and the start of the next is called the period (T). In this case, the period is defined as T = 2Δt, indicating that the pulse duration is half of the total time between pulses.

Bandwidth

Bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies that a system can transmit or process. In the context of the question, a bandwidth of 200 kHz indicates the maximum frequency range available for transmitting signals. This bandwidth limits the number of pulses that can be transmitted per second, as higher frequencies allow for more rapid signal changes.

Pulse Transmission Rate

The pulse transmission rate is the number of pulses that can be sent through a system in one second, measured in pulses per second (Hz). To calculate this rate, one can use the formula: transmission rate = 1/T, where T is the period of the pulse train. Given the bandwidth, the maximum transmission rate is constrained by the available frequency range, allowing for efficient signal processing.

A 1.0-mm-diameter sphere bounces back and forth between two walls at x = 0 mm and x = 100 mm. The collisions are perfectly elastic, and the sphere repeats this motion over and over with no loss of speed. At a random instant of time, what is the probability that the center of the sphere is between x = 49.0 mm and x = 51.0 mm?
