The navy fleet satellite communications system satellites are in a geosynchronous equatorial orbit and provide overlapping earth coverage in all areas, except
- A.
The polar regions
- B.
South america
- C.
The far east
Correct Answer
A. The polar regionsExplanation
The navy fleet satellite communications system satellites are positioned in a geosynchronous equatorial orbit, which means they orbit the Earth at the same speed as the Earth's rotation and remain fixed over one location on the equator. This allows them to provide continuous coverage over most areas of the Earth, except for the polar regions. Due to the satellites' position, their signals cannot reach these extreme northern and southern latitudes effectively. Therefore, the correct answer is the polar regions.Rate this question:

What is the electrical difference between the record and play back processes in video tape recorders?
- A.
Playback is a current functions; record is a voltage function
- B.
Playback is a voltage function; record is a current function
- C.
The play back signal is negatively biased; the record signal is positively biased
Correct Answer
B. Playback is a voltage function; record is a current functionExplanation
The correct answer is that playback is a voltage function and record is a current function. In video tape recorders, during playback, the recorded signal is read from the tape and converted into a voltage signal that can be sent to a display device. This voltage signal represents the video and audio information stored on the tape. On the other hand, during the recording process, the incoming video and audio signals are converted into a current that magnetizes the magnetic particles on the tape, storing the information for later playback. Therefore, the electrical difference between the record and playback processes is that one is based on voltage (playback) and the other is based on current (record).Rate this question:

The frequency response of a video tape recorder is determined by the
- A.
Heap gap width and tape width
- B.
Head gap width and tape speed
- C.
Slant angle of the tape and tape speed
Correct Answer
B. Head gap width and tape speedExplanation
The frequency response of a video tape recorder is determined by the head gap width and tape speed. The head gap width refers to the distance between the magnetic heads that read and write data on the tape. A wider gap allows for a broader range of frequencies to be recorded and played back accurately. The tape speed also affects the frequency response, as a higher speed allows for more data to be recorded per unit of time, resulting in a higher frequency range. Therefore, the combination of a wider head gap width and higher tape speed leads to a better frequency response in a video tape recorder.Rate this question:

In a video tape recorder, what determines how far the tape should be wrapped around a spinning drum assembly?
- A.
Width of the head gap
- B.
Width of the tape used in the machine
- C.
Number of heads contained on the drum
Correct Answer
C. Number of heads contained on the drumExplanation
The number of heads contained on the drum determines how far the tape should be wrapped around a spinning drum assembly in a video tape recorder. Each head is responsible for recording or playing back a specific portion of the tape, so the more heads there are, the more tape needs to be wrapped around the drum to ensure all the necessary information is captured or read.Rate this question:

A. 30 HZExplanation
The frequency of the pulse generator sampling signals used in the servo control circuits is 30 Hz. This is because the drum speed of the video tape recorder is given as 1,800 revolutions per minute, and the pulse generator sampling signals are typically set at a frequency that is a fraction of the drum speed. In this case, the pulse generator is set at 30 Hz, which is 1/60th of the drum speed (1,800 RPM divided by 60 seconds). This frequency allows for accurate and precise control of the servo mechanisms in the video tape recorder.Rate this question:

Within the airborne video tape recorder, drum overload or drum jam causes the loss of the pg-2 signal which triggers
- A.
The drum muting circuit
- B.
The drum phasing circuit
- C.
An error signal to the drum servo circuit
Correct Answer
A. The drum muting circuitExplanation
When there is a drum overload or drum jam within the airborne video tape recorder, it causes the loss of the pg-2 signal. This loss of signal then triggers the drum muting circuit. The drum muting circuit is designed to mute or silence the audio and video signals coming from the drum when there is an issue with the drum operation. Therefore, in this scenario, the drum muting circuit is activated to prevent any further transmission of faulty signals.Rate this question:

What is not a advantage video tape recorder units have over film-based systems?
- A.
Cost effectivness
- B.
Long processing time
- C.
Prompt mission feedback
Correct Answer
B. Long processing timeExplanation
The correct answer is "long processing time". This means that video tape recorder units do not have the advantage of quick processing time compared to film-based systems. This can be a disadvantage in situations where prompt mission feedback is necessary. Additionally, it may also result in delays in accessing and reviewing recorded footage.Rate this question:

In the airborne video tape recorder unit the event mark signal is recorded on
- A.
Both audio channels
- B.
One of the audio channels
- C.
The same track as the audio signal
Correct Answer
B. One of the audio channelsExplanation
In the airborne video tape recorder unit, the event mark signal is recorded on one of the audio channels. This means that the event mark signal is not recorded on both audio channels or on the same track as the audio signal. Instead, it is specifically recorded on only one of the audio channels.Rate this question:
