Consider a low-pass signal with a bandwidth of 3 kHz. A linear DM system with step size D = 0.1V is used to process this signal at a sampling rate 10 times the Nyquist rate.
a. Evaluate the maximum amplitude of a test sinusoidal signal of frequency 1kHz, which can be processed by the system without slope-overload distortion.
b. For the specifications given in part a, evaluate the output SNR under (i) prefiltered and (ii) postfiltered conditions.
