The process of condensation occurs when air particles are:
- A.
Pressurized, causing them to move closer together
- B.
Heated rapidly causing them to spread farther apart
- C.
Heated rapidly causing them to move closer together
- D.
Pressurized, causing them to be released to the atmosphere
Correct Answer
A. Pressurized, causing them to move closer togetherExplanation
Condensation occurs when air particles are pressurized, causing them to move closer together. When air is pressurized, the particles are forced closer, reducing the space between them. As a result, the particles lose energy and slow down, leading to the formation of liquid droplets or solid particles. This process is commonly observed when warm air cools down, such as when warm moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, leading to the formation of dew or fog.Rate this question:

- C.
The quantizer limits the amplitude of the pulses
- D.
The analog signal is band-limited
Correct Answer
D. The analog signal is band-limitedExplanation
In pulse code modulation (PCM), the first step is to band-limit the analog signal. This means that the signal is filtered to remove any frequencies that are outside the desired range. Band-limiting is necessary to prevent aliasing, which can distort the signal during the sampling process. By limiting the bandwidth of the analog signal, it ensures that only the desired frequencies are captured accurately during the sampling process.Rate this question:

Encoding
- B.
Sampling
- C.
Quantization
- D.
Band limiting
Correct Answer
A. EncodingExplanation
In the pulse code modulation (PCM) process, changing the quantized samples into a binary word is called encoding. This is because encoding involves converting the analog signal into a digital format by assigning specific binary codes to each quantized sample. The binary word represents the amplitude of the signal at a given point in time and is used for transmission or storage purposes. Sampling refers to the process of measuring the amplitude of the analog signal at regular intervals, quantization is the process of approximating the continuous analog signal into discrete levels, and band limiting refers to restricting the frequency range of the signal.Rate this question:

Time division multiplexing
Correct Answer
D. Time division multiplexingExplanation
Time division multiplexing is a method of putting many users on a single cable pair. It works by dividing the available time slots on the cable into smaller intervals and assigning each user a specific time slot to transmit their data. This allows multiple users to share the same cable pair without interfering with each other's transmissions. Each user takes turns transmitting their data during their allocated time slot, ensuring efficient utilization of the cable's capacity.Rate this question:

- C.
Twice the lowest frequency sampled multiplied by the sampling rate per cycle
- D.
Twice the highest frequency sampled multiplied by the sampling rate per cycle
Correct Answer
B. The highest frequency sampled multiplied by the sampling rate per cycleExplanation
In time division multiplexing (TDM), multiple signals are combined into a single signal by allocating each signal a specific time slot. The rate of sampling in TDM must be equal to the highest frequency sampled multiplied by the sampling rate per cycle. This is because the highest frequency sampled determines the maximum rate at which the signals need to be sampled in order to accurately reconstruct the original signals. By sampling at a rate equal to or higher than the highest frequency, the TDM system can capture all the necessary information from each signal and avoid aliasing or loss of data.Rate this question:

What type modulation produces a constant amplitude transmission?
- A.
Frequency
- B.
Amplitude
- C.
Phased
- D.
Pulse
Correct Answer
A. FrequencyExplanation
Frequency modulation produces a constant amplitude transmission. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the carrier signal is varied in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal. The amplitude of the carrier signal remains constant throughout the modulation process. This allows for efficient transmission of signals with minimal distortion, as variations in the amplitude of the signal are minimized.Rate this question:

The ability to maintain a constant output carrier frequency refers to a transmitter's frequency:
- A.
Accuracy
- B.
Distortion
- C.
Sensitivity
- D.
Signal-to-noise ratio
Correct Answer
A. AccuracyExplanation
The ability to maintain a constant output carrier frequency refers to the accuracy of a transmitter's frequency. This means that the transmitter is able to consistently produce the desired carrier frequency without any significant deviations or variations. Accuracy is an important factor in ensuring reliable communication and minimizing interference with other signals. It allows the transmitter to stay within the specified frequency range, ensuring that the transmitted signal can be properly received and decoded by the intended receiver.Rate this question:

The process of mixing or combining two frequencies in a nonlinear device in an amplitude modulated (AM) receiver is called:
- A.
Limiting
- B.
Amplifying
- C.
Heterodyning
- D.
Discriminating
Correct Answer
C. HeterodyningExplanation
Heterodyning is the process of mixing or combining two frequencies in a nonlinear device in an amplitude modulated (AM) receiver. This technique is used to convert the received signal to a lower frequency, known as the intermediate frequency (IF), which is easier to process and amplify. By mixing the received signal with a local oscillator signal, a new frequency is generated in the IF range, allowing for easier filtering and amplification of the desired signal. Heterodyning is a crucial step in the demodulation process of an AM receiver.Rate this question:

What component of a frequency modulated (FM) receiver removes the original signal from the sidebands and recreates the audio intelligence?
- A.
Limiter
- B.
Detector
- C.
Amplifier
- D.
Discriminator
Correct Answer
D. DiscriminatorExplanation
The discriminator is the component of a frequency modulated (FM) receiver that removes the original signal from the sidebands and recreates the audio intelligence. It does this by demodulating the FM signal and converting it back into an audio signal. The discriminator is responsible for extracting the audio information from the FM carrier wave and restoring it to its original form.Rate this question:

What characteristic enables a receiver to reproduce a desired signal from several closely spaced stations or from interfering frequencies?
- A.
Sensitivity
- B.
Selectivity
- C.
Fade margin
- D.
Thermal noise
Correct Answer
B. SelectivityExplanation
Selectivity is the characteristic that enables a receiver to reproduce a desired signal from several closely spaced stations or from interfering frequencies. It refers to the ability of a receiver to separate and extract the desired signal while rejecting unwanted signals or interference. A selective receiver is able to filter out unwanted frequencies and only amplify and process the specific frequency or range of frequencies that it is tuned to receive. This allows for clear and accurate reproduction of the desired signal, even in the presence of nearby stations or interfering frequencies.Rate this question:
