    Which statement concerning bandwidth is true?

    • A.

      Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics

    • B.

      Undermodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics

    • C.

      Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the output's increased amplitude

    • D.

      Undermodulating increases bandwidth due to the output's decreased amplitude

    Correct Answer
    A. Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics
    Explanation
    Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics. When a signal is overmodulated, it means that the amplitude of the carrier wave is being increased beyond its normal range. This causes distortion in the signal, resulting in the production of harmonics. Harmonics are additional frequencies that are generated and added to the original signal. These extra frequencies increase the overall bandwidth of the signal, as more frequency components are present. Therefore, overmodulating a signal leads to an increase in bandwidth due to the production of harmonics.

    Reducing modulation to less than 100 percent gives

    • A.

      More total power

    • B.

      A reduction in carrier power

    • C.

      No reduction in carrier power

    • D.

      A reduction in carrier and sideband power

    Correct Answer
    C. No reduction in carrier power
    Explanation
    When modulation is reduced to less than 100 percent, it means that the amplitude of the carrier signal is not affected by the modulating signal. In other words, the carrier power remains unchanged. The reduction in modulation only affects the sideband power, which is the power contained in the frequency bands surrounding the carrier signal. Therefore, there is no reduction in carrier power.

    If an error occurs in transmission, what data is lost in an synchronous transmission?

    • A.

      Synchronous bit

    • B.

      One character

    • C.

      Block of data

    • D.

      A parity bit

    Correct Answer
    C. Block of data
    Explanation
    In synchronous transmission, data is transmitted in blocks. Each block of data is accompanied by control bits that help in synchronization and error detection. If an error occurs in transmission, it means that one or more bits in the block of data have been corrupted or lost. Therefore, the correct answer is "Block of data".

    When using a vertical redundancy check, the number of ones in a data bit pattern determines

    • A.

      Parity

    • B.

      Transmission rate

    • C.

      Whether transmission is in American standard code for information interchange (ASCII) format

    • D.

      Whether transmission is synchronous or asynchronous

    Correct Answer
    A. Parity
    Explanation
    A vertical redundancy check is a method used to detect errors in data transmission. It involves counting the number of ones in a data bit pattern and adding an additional bit, known as a parity bit, to make the total number of ones either even or odd. This parity bit is then transmitted along with the data. By checking the parity bit at the receiving end, errors can be detected. Therefore, the correct answer is "parity" as it refers to the role played by the number of ones in determining the parity bit.

    When using the longitudinal redundancy check method for error correction, what does the receiver compare with the transmitter to ensure an accurate transmission of data? 

    • A.

      The checksum

    • B.

      Block check character

    • C.

      The sum of transmitted bits

    • D.

      The ASCII character set

    Correct Answer
    B. Block check character
    Explanation
    The receiver compares the block check character with the transmitter to ensure an accurate transmission of data. The block check character is a value calculated by the transmitter based on the data being sent. The receiver then recalculates the block check character using the received data and compares it with the one sent by the transmitter. If the two values match, it indicates that the data was transmitted accurately.

    What two error detection methods, when used together, are 98 percent effective in detecting errors?

    • A.

      Checksum and cyclic redundancy check

    • B.

      Longitudinal redundancy check and checksum

    • C.

      Cyclic redundancy check and vertical redundancy check

    • D.

      Vertical redundancy check and longitudinal redundancy check

    Correct Answer
    D. Vertical redundancy check and longitudinal redundancy check
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Vertical redundancy check and longitudinal redundancy check. These two error detection methods, when used together, are 98 percent effective in detecting errors. Vertical redundancy check involves adding a parity bit to each column of data, while longitudinal redundancy check involves adding a parity bit to each row of data. By using both methods, errors can be detected in both the vertical and horizontal directions, increasing the overall effectiveness of error detection.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    What error detection method adds stacked characters, divide it by 225, and disregards the answer except for the remainder?

    • A.

      Checksum

    • B.

      Block check character

    • C.

      Cyclic redundancy check

    • D.

      Vertical redundancy check

    Correct Answer
    A. Checksum
    Explanation
    Checksum is an error detection method that involves adding the ASCII values of all the characters in a message, dividing the sum by 225, and considering only the remainder. This remainder is then appended to the message and sent along with it. Upon receiving the message, the recipient performs the same calculation and compares the calculated checksum with the received checksum. If they match, it is assumed that the message was transmitted without errors.

    What error-correction technique sends a retransmittal request by the receiver to the sender if it finds an error in a received frame?

    • A.

      Error-correcting code

    • B.

      Forward error control

    • C.

      Redundant data transfer

    • D.

      Automatic retransmit on request

    Correct Answer
    D. Automatic retransmit on request
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Automatic retransmit on request." This error-correction technique involves the receiver sending a retransmittal request to the sender if it detects an error in a received frame. This allows for the sender to retransmit the frame, ensuring that the error is corrected and the data is received accurately.

    In the AN/GRT-22 transmitter, the purpose of the E/L relay in a linear power amp (LPA) when operating in the 50-watt mode is to

    • A.

      Bypass the LPA in the event of high voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)

    • B.

      Route the high current directly to the antenna

    • C.

      Bypass the LPA in the event of overmodulation

    • D.

      Bypass the antenna in the event of high VSWR

    Correct Answer
    A. Bypass the LPA in the event of high voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR)
    Explanation
    The purpose of the E/L relay in a linear power amp (LPA) when operating in the 50-watt mode is to bypass the LPA in the event of high voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). This means that if the VSWR becomes too high, indicating a mismatch between the transmitter and the antenna, the relay will bypass the LPA and prevent damage to the amplifier. By doing so, it ensures that the high voltage caused by the high VSWR does not reach the LPA, protecting it from potential harm.
