    In a frequency-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver and an aircraft when the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency?

    • The aircraft is not reflecting any of the RDR pulses

    • The aircraft is flying towards the RT

    • The aircraft is flying away from the RT

    Correct Answer
    A. The aircraft is flying away from the RT
    Explanation
    When the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is flying away from the radar transmitter (RT). This is because the frequency shift occurs due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the signal changes based on the relative motion between the transmitter/receiver and the aircraft. A lower received frequency suggests that the aircraft is moving away from the radar, causing a decrease in the frequency of the reflected signal.

    Ultra-high frequency radios are primarily used for

    • Long-range communication

    • Direction-finding operations

    • Line-of-sight communications

    Correct Answer
    A. Line-of-sight communications
    Explanation
    Ultra-high frequency radios are primarily used for line-of-sight communications. This means that they are most effective when there is a direct, unobstructed path between the transmitting and receiving antennas. UHF signals do not penetrate obstacles like buildings or mountains as well as lower frequency signals, so they are ideal for short-range communication over relatively flat terrain. This makes them suitable for applications such as walkie-talkies, mobile phones, and wireless local area networks (WLANs).

    The part of the radar sets low observable antenna that is addressed to steer the radio-frequency beam is the

    • Phase control modules

    • Radio-frequency roll resolver

    • Radio-frequency quadrant manifolds

    Correct Answer
    A. Phase control modules
    Explanation
    The correct answer is phase control modules. Phase control modules are responsible for steering the radio-frequency beam in radar systems. They help in adjusting the phase of the radio waves emitted by the antenna, which determines the direction in which the beam is steered. By controlling the phase, the radar system can scan and track targets effectively. Radio-frequency roll resolver and radio-frequency quadrant manifolds are not directly related to steering the beam, making them incorrect options.

    The voltage standing-wave ration is determined by comparing the radars's

    • Reflected power to the TX power

    • Reflected power to the receiver's sensitivity

    • Transmitter power to the receiver's sensitivity

    Correct Answer
    A. Reflected power to the TX power
    Explanation
    The voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) is a measure of how efficiently power is transferred from the transmitter to the antenna. It is determined by comparing the reflected power (power that is not absorbed by the antenna and is instead reflected back) to the TX power (power transmitted by the transmitter). A higher VSWR indicates a greater amount of power being reflected back, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage to the transmitter. Therefore, the correct answer is to compare the reflected power to the TX power.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sum of and difference between the tow original frequencies
    Explanation
    The heterodyning process in an amplitude-modulated transmitter modulator involves mixing two original frequencies. This process results in the creation of two new frequencies - the sum of the two original frequencies and the difference between them. Therefore, the correct answer is that the frequencies created by the heterodyning process are the sum of and difference between the two original frequencies.

    In a frequency-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver and an aircraft when no frequency shift between them can be measured?

    • They are a constant distance away form each other

    • The aircraft is not reflection any of the radar pulses

    • The aircraft is flying away from the transmitter/receiver

    Correct Answer
    A. They are a constant distance away form each other
    Explanation
    When no frequency shift between the transmitter/receiver and the aircraft can be measured in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that they are a constant distance away from each other. This means that there is no change in the frequency of the radar signal as it is reflected back from the aircraft. This could occur when the aircraft is stationary or moving directly towards or away from the transmitter/receiver, resulting in a constant distance between them. It suggests that there is no relative motion between the two entities.

    In a frequecny-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver and an aircraft when the received frequency is higher than the transmitted frequency?

    • The aircraft is not reflecting any of the radar-pulses

    • The aircraft is flying towards the transmitter receiver

    • The aircraft is flying away from the transmitter receiver

    Correct Answer
    A. The aircraft is flying towards the transmitter receiver
    Explanation
    When the received frequency is higher than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is flying towards the transmitter/receiver. This is because when an object is moving towards the radar system, the frequency of the reflected radar pulses increases due to the Doppler effect. Therefore, the higher received frequency suggests that the aircraft is approaching the transmitter/receiver.

    • Shielded pair

    • Air coaxial line

    • Parallel two-wire

    Correct Answer
    A. Shielded pair
    Explanation
    A shielded pair is the radio-frequency line that has uniform capacitance between the conductors throughout the length of the line. This means that the capacitance remains constant along the entire length of the line, providing consistent performance and signal transmission. The shielded pair design helps to minimize interference and noise, making it suitable for applications where signal integrity is crucial.

    The an/arc-210 receiver/transmitter does not provide

    • Half-duplex, two way communications of normal and secure voice amplitude-modulated signals

    • Receiver-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.975 Mhz amplitude modulated

    • Transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulated

    Correct Answer
    A. Transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulated
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulated." This means that the an/arc-210 receiver/transmitter is capable of transmitting normal and secure voice signals in the specified frequency range using amplitude modulation. However, it does not provide the capability for half-duplex, two-way communications or receiver-only mode of operation.

    In a frequency-modulated signal, the amount of separation between the sideband frequencies is equal to the

    • Carrier frequency

    • Rate of carrier swing

    • Modulating frequency

    Correct Answer
    A. Carrier frequency
    Explanation
    In a frequency-modulated signal, the amount of separation between the sideband frequencies is equal to the carrier frequency. This means that the sideband frequencies, which are produced as a result of modulation, are located symmetrically around the carrier frequency. The carrier frequency remains unchanged, while the sidebands are shifted in frequency according to the modulation. Therefore, the separation between the sideband frequencies is directly proportional to the carrier frequency.

    The low-pass filet in the automatic frequency control circuitry of a frequency-modulated transmitter is designed to prevent

    • The lower sideband from being transmitted

    • Correction volt changes caused by the modulating signals

    • Carrier frequency feedback from tuning the reactance modulator

    Correct Answer
    A. Correction volt changes caused by the modulating signals
    Explanation
    The low-pass filter in the automatic frequency control circuitry of a frequency-modulated transmitter is designed to prevent correction voltage changes caused by the modulating signals. This is because the modulating signals can introduce unwanted variations in the frequency of the transmitter's carrier signal. The low-pass filter helps to smooth out these variations and stabilize the carrier frequency, ensuring that the transmitted signal remains within the desired frequency range.

    Which very-high frequency radio system has the best chance of receiving a signal from a station located beyond the horizon?

    • Super-high frequency

    • Very-high frequency amplitude modulation

    • Very-high frequency frequency modulation

    Correct Answer
    A. Very-high frequency frequency modulation
    Explanation
    Very-high frequency frequency modulation has the best chance of receiving a signal from a station located beyond the horizon. This is because frequency modulation allows for better signal quality and less interference compared to amplitude modulation. Very-high frequency also has a shorter wavelength which allows it to diffract and bend around obstacles, enabling it to reach beyond the horizon.
