2. The serial transmission bit rate for the MIL-1553 data bus is
- A.
A. 2 mega bits per second (Mbps)
- B.
B. 16 Mbps
- C.
C. 32 Mbps
- D.
D. 64 Mbps
Correct Answer
A. A. 2 mega bits per second (Mbps)Explanation
The correct answer is a. 2 mega bits per second (Mbps). The MIL-1553 data bus is a standard communication protocol used in avionics systems. It is a serial bus that operates at a bit rate of 2 Mbps. This means that it can transmit 2 million bits of data per second. This relatively low bit rate is sufficient for most avionics applications, as it allows for reliable communication without requiring excessive bandwidth.Rate this question:
