Explanation
The 2:3 height-to-width ratio provides optimum display proportions for general-purpose waveform examinations on an oscilloscope. This ratio ensures that the waveform is displayed with a balanced and visually pleasing aspect ratio, allowing for accurate analysis and interpretation of the waveform. A 2:3 ratio means that the height of the waveform is two-thirds of its width, providing enough vertical resolution to capture the details of the waveform while still maintaining a wide enough display to see the overall shape and characteristics of the waveform.
44.
To center the trace on the cathode-ray rube (CRT) of an oscilloscope, what controls do you use?
Correct Answer
D. Horizontal and vertical position controls
Explanation
To center the trace on the cathode-ray tube (CRT) of an oscilloscope, you would use the horizontal and vertical position controls. These controls allow you to adjust the position of the trace on the screen horizontally and vertically, ensuring that it is centered and aligned properly. The frequency and sweep calibrator, expanded sweep, and sweep calibrator controls are not used for centering the trace on the CRT.
45.
What happens to the observed signal if you advance the oscilloscope synchronizing control too far?
Correct Answer
B. Distortion
Explanation
Advancing the oscilloscope synchronizing control too far can lead to distortion in the observed signal. Distortion refers to any alteration or deformation in the shape or quality of the signal waveform. When the synchronizing control is advanced too far, it can cause the oscilloscope to incorrectly synchronize with the signal, resulting in a distorted representation of the waveform on the display. This distortion can make it difficult to accurately analyze and interpret the signal's characteristics, potentially leading to incorrect conclusions or measurements.

What are the two major sections of a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) set?
Correct Answer
D. Transmitter and reciever
Explanation
The two major sections of a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) set are the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is responsible for generating the test signal, which is then transmitted to the receiver. The receiver, on the other hand, is responsible for receiving the test signal and comparing it to the expected signal. By measuring the number of bit errors that occur during transmission, the BERT set can evaluate the performance and quality of the communication channel.
47.
Which section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set generates a pseudo-random test pattern?
Correct Answer
D. Transmitter
Explanation
The transmitter section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set generates a pseudo-random test pattern. This pattern is used to simulate real-world data transmission and assess the performance of the communication system. The transmitter generates a sequence of bits based on a pseudo-random algorithm, which is then sent to the receiver for analysis. By comparing the received data with the transmitted pattern, the system can measure the bit error rate and identify any issues or errors in the transmission.
48.
Which section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set measures the received test pattern?
Correct Answer
D. Transmitter
Explanation
The section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set that measures the received test pattern is the Transmitter. The transmitter is responsible for sending out the test pattern, and it also receives and measures the pattern that is returned. This allows for the evaluation of the bit error rate, which is a measure of the quality of the transmission. The emitter and detector are not directly involved in measuring the received test pattern, making the transmitter the correct answer.
