Instructions to the candidates.. '

i) Answers to the two sections should be written in separate answer books.

ii) Neat diagrams must be drawn wherever necf!ssary.
iii) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
iv) Use of logarithmic tables, slide rule, Mollier charts, electronic pocket
calculator and steam tables is allowed. .

v) Assume suitable data, if necessary.

SECTION-I
Ql) a) Explain DTMF dialer and its significance. [4]
b) Briefly explain various subscriber loop' signalling systems used in
Telephone Switching. [4]
c) Briefly explain role of redundancy in SPC blectronics switching systems.
A fully redundent SPC system makes use of two processors in load
sharing configuration~ If individual MTBF and MTTR figures of the
processors are 5000 ills and 5 hrs respectively; determine the non
availability of SPC switching system over ten years period for a (1 + 1)
redundancy configuration. Suggest a typical configuration to further
reduce the nonavailability to less thana second., [10]
OR
Q2) a) Distinguish between the terms Connectivity and Blocking for Telecom
Switching Systems. . .
[4]
b) . Briefly explain the concept ~fTime Division Ti~e Switching, indicating
, how switching capacity can be increased using random input / random
output configuration. [7] ,
c) With the help of neat diagram explain the principle of Time' Division
Space Switching for time multiplexed trunk switching applications. Time
multiplexed streams having 40 channels in each stream are switched using
a Time Division Space Switch. Assuming time required to access control
memory as 0.1 microseconds and time required to switch plus transfer
as 25 nanoseconds, determine number trunks each switch can support.

Assume omnidirectional antennas with six interferers in the fIrst tier and
slope for path loss as 40 dBs/decade.
Use the data in Table-I, if required. [8]
OR
