What are the properties to be satisfied by a linear block code?

The parity matrix for a (6,3) systematic linear block code is given by

0 1 1
=|] 0 1
1 1 0

(i) Find all code words. (ii) Find generator and parity check matrix. (iii) Draw
encoding circuit. (iv) Draw syndrome circuit.
A communication system employs a continuous source. The channel noise is
white and Gaussian. The bandwidth of the source output is 10 MHz and signal to
noise power ratio at the receiver is 100.
(i) Determine the channel capacity.
(ii) If the signal to noise ratio drops to 10, how much bandwidth is needed to
achieve the same channel capacity as in (i).
(iii) If the bandwidth is decreased to 1 MHz, what S/N ratio is required to
maintain the same channel capacity as in (i).

and correction?
