Frequency of the modulating signal.
- C.
Amplitude of the carrier signal.
- D.
Frequency of the carrier signal.
Correct Answer
B. Frequency of the modulating signal.Explanation
The spacing of the sidebands in an amplitude modulated signal is determined by the frequency of the modulating signal. As the modulating signal varies in frequency, it causes the carrier signal to vary in amplitude. This variation in amplitude results in the creation of sidebands, which are additional frequencies that surround the carrier frequency. The frequency of these sidebands is directly proportional to the frequency of the modulating signal. Therefore, the frequency of the modulating signal determines the spacing between the sidebands in an amplitude modulated signal.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. No reduction in carrier power.Explanation
Reducing modulation to less than 100 percent means that the amplitude of the modulating signal is decreased, resulting in a smaller variation in the amplitude of the carrier signal. This reduction in modulation does not affect the power of the carrier signal, as the power is determined by the amplitude squared. Therefore, there is no reduction in carrier power when modulation is reduced to less than 100 percent.Rate this question:

In frequency modulation (FM), the frequency of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the modulating signal. The modulating signal is the signal that carries the information to be transmitted. In this case, the output of the oscillator in the FM modulator increases in frequency with each positive half cycle of the modulating signal. This means that as the modulating signal goes through its positive half cycle, the frequency of the carrier signal also increases.Rate this question:

A 5 kilohertz (kHz) modulating signal has enough peak voltage to cause a deviation of 15 kHz. What is the modulation index?
- A.
5.
- B.
3.
- C.
0.5.
- D.
0.3.
Correct Answer
B. 3.Explanation
The modulation index is a measure of how much the carrier wave is modulated by the modulating signal. In this case, the modulating signal has a frequency of 5 kHz and is able to cause a deviation of 15 kHz. The modulation index can be calculated by dividing the deviation by the modulating frequency. In this case, the modulation index would be 15 kHz divided by 5 kHz, which equals 3.Rate this question:

What is the narrow frequency band between adjacent stations used to prevent frequency modulated sidebands from overlapping?
- A.
Space.
- B.
Guard band.
- C.
Buffer zone.
- D.
Prevention field.
Correct Answer
B. Guard band.Explanation
A guard band is a narrow frequency band between adjacent stations that is used to prevent frequency modulated sidebands from overlapping. It acts as a buffer zone, ensuring that the signals from neighboring stations do not interfere with each other. The guard band helps to maintain the integrity and clarity of the transmitted signals by providing separation and preventing any overlap or distortion.Rate this question:

What is the advantage of adding more phase shifts?
- A.
Easier detection.
- B.
Smaller bit error rate.
- C.
Better signal-to-noise ratio.
- D.
Higher data rates within a given bandwidth.
Correct Answer
D. Higher data rates within a given bandwidth.Explanation
Adding more phase shifts allows for more bits to be encoded and transmitted within a given bandwidth. This means that more data can be transmitted in a shorter amount of time, resulting in higher data rates. This advantage is particularly useful in situations where there is limited bandwidth available, as it allows for more efficient use of the available spectrum.Rate this question:

What is the first step in the pulse code modulation process?
- A.
Discrete amplitudes are assigned to the sampling pulses.
- B.
A binary code number is assigned to the sample.
- C.
The quantizer limits the amplitude of the pulses.
- D.
The analog signal is band limited.
Correct Answer
D. The analog signal is band limited.Explanation
The first step in the pulse code modulation process is to band limit the analog signal. This means that the signal is filtered to remove any frequencies outside of a certain range, ensuring that only the desired frequencies are present. This step is important because it helps prevent distortion and interference in the subsequent steps of the process.Rate this question:

Quantization in the pulse code modulation process is
- A.
Converting a continuous time signal into a discrete time signal.
- B.
Ensuring the input to the sampler never exceeds maximum frequency.
- C.
Placing an infinite number of amplitude values to a finite number of values.
- D.
Limiting the highest and lowest frequency encoded before it goes to the sampler.
Correct Answer
C. Placing an infinite number of amplitude values to a finite number of values.Explanation
Quantization in the pulse code modulation process involves placing an infinite number of amplitude values to a finite number of values. This means that the continuous time signal is divided into discrete levels, and each level represents a specific amplitude value. By doing this, the signal is approximated and represented using a limited number of values, which allows for efficient digital storage and transmission of the signal.Rate this question:
