  • 4. 

    The information-carrying components that occur on either side of a carrier are called

      Sidebands.

    • B.

      Sine waves.

    • C.

      Frequency translators.

    • D.

      Modulating frequencies.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sidebands.
    Explanation
    "The modulating signal is represented as a band of frequencies (sine waves of different frequencies) extending from some lower frequency, fL, to some upper or highest frequency, fH. Notice that the output signal includes two bands of frequencies: one at frequencies above the carrier, fc, and one below the carrier. These we call the upper sideband and lower sideband, respectively. The upper sideband (USB) has the same shape and orientation as the band of modulating signal frequencies. The lower sideband (LSB), however, is the mirror image of the original modulating signal." Page 1-8

      Detection.

    • C.

      Compression.

    • D.

      Companding.

    Correct Answer
    A. Filtering.
    Explanation
    "This process is shown in figure 1–5. Here, we use a filter that passes only the signal components in
    the frequency range between fc – fH and fc – fL. Thus, the output of the filter contains only the lower
    sideband. In particular, if we modulate a 27-MHz carrier frequency (in the Citizen’s Band frequency
    range) with a voice signal band of 300 to 3400 Hz, the single-sideband suppressed carrier (SSBSC)
    output is a band of frequencies between 26.9966 and 26.9997 MHz." Page 1-8

  • 9. 

    A modulated waveform that contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency is a description of

    • A.

      A phase modulation (PM).

    • B.

      A pulse modulation.

    • C.

      A frequency modulation (FM).

    • D.

      An amplitude modulation (AM).

    Correct Answer
    D. An amplitude modulation (AM).
    Explanation
    An amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulated waveform that contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency. In AM, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the modulating signal, resulting in the formation of sidebands around the carrier frequency. These sidebands carry the information of the modulating signal. Therefore, AM is the correct answer as it matches the given description.

    • B.

      Intensity of speech.

    • C.

      Composite waves.

    • D.

      Splatter.

    Correct Answer
    D. Splatter.
    Explanation
    "if 100-percent modulation is exceeded and/or there is
    distortion in the modulating signal, additional sidebands are generated because of the harmonic
    content of the distorted modulating signal. These additional sidebands, known as splatter, cause
    unwanted bandwidth and distortion in the transmitted AM signal." Page 1-10

  • 12. 

    What is the main advantage of differential phase shift keying (DPSK)?

    • A.

    • B.

      It requires a less complex receiver than a basic phase shift keying (PSK) signal.

    • C.

    • D.

      The demodulator needs to detect changes in absolute phase values.

    Correct Answer
    B. It requires a less complex receiver than a basic pHase shift keying (PSK) signal.
    Explanation
    "DPSK encodes different digital values as changes in signal phase. DPSK is easier to implement and is more robust than PSK because DPSK looks for differences, rather than for specific values. This form of modulation can be found in local area network technologies." Page 1-3

    • D.

      E and M.

    Correct Answer
    C. Loop-start.
    Explanation
    "The loop-start or metallic loop signaling method uses a continuous application of direct current voltage." Page 2-13

      On-hook condition.

    • C.

      Off-hook condition.

    • D.

      During the ringback signal.

    Correct Answer
    C. Off-hook condition.
    Explanation
    "The voltage or 48-volt battery is not activated until the telephone handset is lifted, off-hook." Page 2-13

    Rate this question:

  • 45. 

    In common associated signaling (CAS), what is the seventh bit in frames 6 and 12 used to convey signaling information known as?

    • A.

      Bit robbing.

    • B.

      Bit stuffing.

    • C.

      Frame correction.

    • D.

      Frame enhancement.

    Correct Answer
    A. Bit robbing.
    Explanation
    "In CAS signaling, the seventh bit in frames 6 and 12 are “robbed” to convey signaling information. This is known as bit robbing. The pattern represented robbed bit is based on the type of signaling, such as loop-start, or E&M, and the signal being conveyed." Page 2-13

  • 46. 

    In what common channel signaling (CCS) mode are the messages relating to signaling between two points conveyed directly interconnecting these signaling points?

    • A.

      Associated mode.

    • B.

      Nonassociated mode.

    • C.

      Quasi-associated mode.

    • D.

      Multi-associated mode.

    Correct Answer
    A. Associated mode.
    Explanation
    1. Associated mode – The messages relating to signaling between two points are conveyed directly interconnecting these signaling points.
    2. Nonassociated mode – The messages relating to signaling are conveyed over two or more links passing through one or more signaling points that are not the origin and the destination of the messages.
    3. Quasi-associated mode – This is a subcase of the nonassociated mode. The path the messages take through the network is predetermined and fixed.

    What term is associated with the delay or lag introduced in the application of voltage from one section to the next?

    • A.

      Latency.

    • B.

      Phase delay.

    • C.

      Propagation constant.

    • D.

      Phase delay distortion.

    Correct Answer
    A. Latency.
    Explanation
    "The transmission line presents a delay in each section, and the amount of delay is dependent upon the
    frequency of the information signal. Thus, a delay, also known as latency or lag, is introduced in the application of voltage from one section to the next" Page 3-6
