A of circuit diagram describe the working of side tone coupling circuit. (8) (iii) What is aliasing? Why does it occur? How is it avoided in a PCM system? (4)
Or
(b) (i) Design a 100 line stronger switching system (by any one method).(8) I (ii) With the help of a diagram corresponding to multi exchange network, describe how common control system over comes the basic difficulties faced by a stronger system. (8)
12. (a) (i) Prove that the total number of cross points Nx required by a three N 2 stage switch is Nx = 2Nk +kn
Where N = number of inlets — outlets, n = size of each inlet- outlet group, k = Number of centre stage arrays. (6)
(ii) Determine the implementation complexity of the TS switch where
A the number of TDM input lines N: 80. Assume each input line
P contains a single DS1 signal (24 channels). Assume that a single stage matrix has been used for the space stage. (6)
(iii) What is TSI? Explain its working using a suitable diagram. (4)
Or
(b) (i) What is combination switching? Why is it employed? (4)

13. (a) (i) Describe SS7 protocol architecture. (10)
(ii) A switching system serves 10000 subscribers with a traffic intensity of 0.1 E per subscriber. If there is a sudden spurt in the traffic
increasing the average traffic by 50%, what is the effect on the arrival rate? (3)
(iii) What is the probability that a 1000-bit data block experiences exactly four errors while being transmitted over a transmission link with a BER of 10•5? (3)
Or
(b) (i) Compare loss systems and delay systems. (4)
(ii) Over a 20 minute observation interval, 40 subscribers initiate calls. Total duration of the calls in 4800 seconds. Calculate the load
offered to the network by the subscribers and the average subscriber traffic. (4)
(iii) How are Birth-Death processes used to model the steady state behavior of a telecommunication switching system? With the help of appropriate equations, prove the point. (8)
14. (a) (i) Describe the layered architecture of SONET/SDH transmission scheme. (10)
