Assignment:
A mobile communication system uses a Viterbi equalizer in order to combat the effects of fading. The symbol rate is equal to 160 k symbols rate, and BPSK modulation is used. The signal dispersion resulting from channel-induced ISI is equal to 25 p.s.
(a) Calculate the approximate amount of memory, Lo. in units of bit intervals required to be included in the Viterbi equalizer.
(b) How is the memory size affected if the symbol rate is doubled?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
