What is an example of analog to digital and digital to analog techniques
- A.
  
  Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM).
- B.
  
  Pulse code modulation (PCM) and frequency shift key (FSK).
- C.
  
  Phase modulation (PCM) and quadrature phase shift key (QPSK).
- D.
  
  Pulse code modulation (PCM) and continuously variable slope delta (CVSD) modulation.
Correct Answer
D. Pulse code modulation (PCM) and continuously variable slope delta (CVSD) modulation.

Explanation
Pulse code modulation (PCM) is an example of analog to digital (A/D) technique, where an analog signal is converted into a digital signal by sampling and quantizing the amplitude of the signal at regular intervals. Continuously variable slope delta (CVSD) modulation, on the other hand, is an example of digital to analog (D/A) technique, where a digital signal is converted back into an analog signal by reconstructing the original waveform using a continuous variable slope technique. Therefore, PCM and CVSD modulation represent both A/D and D/A techniques.

What modulation technique is a complete digitization process since it converts an analog signal into one that is discrete with respect to both time and amplitude (or polarity)?
- A.
  
  Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM).
- B.
  
  Pulse-duration modulation (PMD).
- C.
  
  Pulse-width modulation (PWM).
- D.
  
  Pulse-code modulation (PCM).
Correct Answer
D. Pulse-code modulation (PCM).

Explanation
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a complete digitization process because it converts an analog signal into a discrete signal in both time and amplitude. PCM samples the analog signal at regular intervals and assigns a binary code to each sample, representing its amplitude. This binary representation allows for accurate reproduction of the original analog signal. In PCM, the time and amplitude of the signal are both quantized, resulting in a fully digitized signal.

Amplitude modulation (AM) requires a bandwidth that is
- A.
  
  Twice that of the modulating signal.
- B.
  
  Half that of the modulating signal
- C.
  
  Twice that of the carrier signal
- D.
  
  Half that of the carrier signal.
Correct Answer
A. Twice that of the modulating signal.

Explanation
Amplitude modulation (AM) requires a bandwidth that is twice that of the modulating signal because in AM, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in proportion to the modulating signal. This variation in amplitude results in sidebands being created around the carrier frequency, which contain the modulating signal information. The bandwidth required to transmit these sidebands is directly related to the frequency range of the modulating signal, hence it needs to be twice the frequency range of the modulating signal.

A modulation waveform that contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency is a description of
- A.
  
  A phase modulation (PM)
- B.
  
  A pulse modulation
- C.
  
  A frequency modulation (FM)
- D.
  
  An amplitude modulation (AM)
Correct Answer
D. An amplitude modulation (AM)

Explanation
An amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation waveform that contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency. In AM, the amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal. This results in the carrier signal being modulated to produce two sidebands, one above and one below the carrier frequency. Therefore, an AM waveform contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency.

If 100 percent modulation is exceeded and there is distortion in the modulating signal, additional sidebands are generated. We identify these sidebands as
- A.
  
  Transmitted intelligence
- B.
  
  Intensity of speech
- C.
  
  Composite waves
- D.
  
  Splatter
Correct Answer
D. Splatter

Explanation
When the modulation signal exceeds 100% and distortion occurs, additional sidebands are generated. These sidebands are known as "splatter." Splatter refers to unwanted and excessive sidebands that can cause interference and distortion in the transmitted signal. It is a result of improper modulation and can negatively impact the quality and clarity of the transmitted intelligence or speech.

To prevent frequency modulation (FM) radio stations from interfering with each other, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set limits that allow each station to cause its oscillator frequency to deviate no more than
- A.
  
  20 kHz
- B.
  
  50 kHz
- C.
  
  75 kHz
- D.
  
  88 kHz
Correct Answer
C. 75 kHz

Explanation
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has set limits on the amount of frequency deviation allowed for each FM radio station to prevent interference with other stations. In this case, the correct answer is 75 kHz, which means that each station is allowed to cause its oscillator frequency to deviate by a maximum of 75 kHz. This limit ensures that the stations can operate without causing significant interference to neighboring stations, allowing for clear and reliable radio broadcasts.

8.

The amount of phase shift in a phase modulation (PM) signal is directly proportional to the
- A.
  
  Modulation index
- B.
  
  Rate of phase shift
- C.
  
  Frequency of the modulating signal
- D.
  
  Amplitude of the modulating signal
Correct Answer
D. Amplitude of the modulating signal

Explanation
The amount of phase shift in a phase modulation (PM) signal is directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal. This means that as the amplitude of the modulating signal increases, the phase shift in the PM signal also increases. Phase modulation is a type of modulation where the phase of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the modulating signal. The amplitude of the modulating signal determines the extent to which the phase of the carrier signal is shifted, resulting in a change in the phase of the PM signal.

quadrature-phase shift keying (QSPK) requires
- A.
  
  Half the bandwidth as does bi-phase shift keying (BPSK)
- B.
  
  The same bandwidth as does BPSK
- C.
  
  Twice the bandwidth as does BPSK
- D.
  
  Four times the bandwidth as does BPSK
Correct Answer
A. Half the bandwidth as does bi-pHase shift keying (BPSK)

Explanation
Quadrature-phase shift keying (QPSK) is a modulation scheme that uses four different phase shifts to represent data. Each phase shift represents two bits of information. On the other hand, bi-phase shift keying (BPSK) uses only two different phase shifts to represent data, with each phase shift representing one bit of information. Since QPSK can represent twice as much information per symbol compared to BPSK, it requires half the bandwidth to transmit the same amount of data. Therefore, the correct answer is "half the bandwidth as does bi-phase shift keying (BPSK)."

- B.
  
  It requires a less complex receiver than a basic phase shift keying (PSK) signal
- C.
  
  It requires a more complex receiver than a basic PSK signal
- D.
  
  The demodulator needs to detect changes in absolute phase values.
Correct Answer
B. It requires a less complex receiver than a basic pHase shift keying (PSK) signal

Explanation
Differential phase shift keying (DPSK) has the main advantage of requiring a less complex receiver than a basic phase shift keying (PSK) signal. This means that DPSK can be implemented with simpler and more cost-effective receiver circuits, making it a practical choice for communication systems. Unlike basic PSK, DPSK does not require the receiver to detect changes in absolute phase values, which reduces complexity and improves efficiency.

All of these are considered analog modulation techniques except
- A.
  
  Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM)
- B.
  
  Pulse-duration modulation (PDM)
- C.
  
  Pulse-position modulation (PPM)
- D.
  
  Pulse-code modulation (PCM)
Correct Answer
D. Pulse-code modulation (PCM)

Explanation
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital modulation technique that converts analog signals into a digital format. It samples the amplitude of the analog signal at regular intervals and quantizes each sample into a binary code. On the other hand, pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), pulse-duration modulation (PDM), and pulse-position modulation (PPM) are all analog modulation techniques that modify the amplitude, duration, or position of pulses to carry information. Therefore, pulse-code modulation (PCM) is the only option that does not fall under the category of analog modulation techniques.

The form of pulse modulation that requires the pulse width to be varied to convey intelligence is
- A.
  
  Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM)
- B.
  
  Pulse-duration modulation (PDM)
- C.
  
  Pulse-position modulation (PPM)
- D.
  
  Pulse-code modulation (PCM)
Correct Answer
B. Pulse-duration modulation (PDM)

Explanation
Pulse-duration modulation (PDM) is a form of pulse modulation where the pulse width is varied to convey intelligence. In PDM, the duration of the pulse represents the amplitude of the signal being transmitted. By varying the width of the pulses, different levels of the signal can be represented, allowing for the transmission of analog information. This is different from pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), where the amplitude of the pulse is varied, and pulse-position modulation (PPM), where the position of the pulse within a fixed time interval is varied. Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital modulation technique where the analog signal is sampled and quantized into a binary code.

Rate this question:
13.

Quantized analog modulation is actually
- A.
  
  Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM)
- B.
  
  Pulse-duration modulation (PDM)
- C.
  
  Less tolerant of noise than frequency modulation (FM)
- D.
  
  Analog-to-digital conversion
Correct Answer
D. Analog-to-digital conversion

Explanation
Quantized analog modulation refers to the process of converting analog signals into digital signals. This involves dividing the continuous analog signal into discrete levels or steps, which are then represented by digital values. This conversion allows for more efficient transmission and storage of the signal, as digital signals are less susceptible to noise and interference compared to analog signals. Therefore, quantized analog modulation is essentially analog-to-digital conversion.

Rate this question:
14.

Which type of pulse modulation is least affected by noise?
- A.
  
  Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM)
- B.
  
  Pulse-duration modulation (PDM)
- C.
  
  Pulse-position modulation (PPM)
- D.
  
  Pulse-code modulation (PCM)
Correct Answer
D. Pulse-code modulation (PCM)

Explanation
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is the least affected by noise compared to other types of pulse modulation. PCM converts analog signals into a digital format by sampling the amplitude of the signal at regular intervals and then quantizing and encoding it into binary code. This digital representation of the signal is more robust against noise interference because it can be accurately reconstructed at the receiver by decoding the binary code. Unlike other types of pulse modulation, PCM does not rely on the amplitude, duration, or position of the pulse, making it less susceptible to noise distortions.

15.

pulse-code modulation (PCM) code words are assigned to each sample and correspond to its
- A.
  
  Phase
- B.
  
  Time slot
- C.
  
  Amplitude
- D.
  
  Frequency
Correct Answer
C. Amplitude

Explanation
In pulse-code modulation (PCM), code words are assigned to each sample, representing their amplitude. This means that the PCM system quantizes the amplitude of the analog signal into discrete levels and assigns a code word to each level. The code words are then used to reconstruct the original analog signal during decoding. The phase, time slot, and frequency are not directly related to the assignment of code words in PCM.

How many bits per character of a 16-step pulse code modulation (PCM) system are used to describe the quantized analog sample?
- A.
  
  3
- B.
  
  4
- C.
  
  5
- D.
  
  8
Correct Answer
B. 4

Explanation
In a 16-step PCM system, there are 16 possible quantized analog samples. To describe these samples, 4 bits per character are used. Each bit can represent 2 possible values (0 or 1), so with 4 bits, there are a total of 2^4 = 16 possible combinations, which matches the number of quantized samples in the system. Therefore, 4 bits per character are used to describe the quantized analog sample in a 16-step PCM system.

Continuous variable slope delta (CVSD) modulation circuitry includes a pulse-amplitude modulator and a
- A.
  
  Low-pass filter
- B.
  
  High- pass filter
- C.
  
  Bandpass filter
- D.
  
  Band-reject filter
Correct Answer
C. Bandpass filter

Explanation
CVSD modulation is a technique used to encode analog signals into digital form. It works by continuously varying the slope of the signal waveform. In order to achieve this, a bandpass filter is used in the CVSD modulation circuitry. A bandpass filter allows only a specific range of frequencies to pass through while attenuating frequencies outside of that range. This is important for maintaining the integrity of the analog signal during the modulation process. Therefore, a bandpass filter is the correct choice for the CVSD modulation circuitry.

Which multiplex scheme periodically redefines the length of its frames?
- A.
  
  Asynchronous time division multiplexing (TDM)
- B.
  
  Frequency data multiplexing (FDM)
- C.
  
  Synchronous TDM
- D.
  
  Isochronous TDM
Correct Answer
A. Asynchronous time division multiplexing (TDM)

Explanation
Asynchronous time division multiplexing (TDM) is the multiplex scheme that periodically redefines the length of its frames. In this scheme, each input signal is divided into time slots of fixed length, but the length of the frames can vary. This allows for more efficient use of the available bandwidth as the length of the frames can be adjusted based on the amount of data being transmitted. This is different from synchronous TDM, where the length of the frames remains constant. FDM and isochronous TDM do not redefine the length of their frames.

  Frequencies or gammas
Correct Answer
A. Wavelengths or lambdas

Explanation
Wave-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technique used to combine multiple optical signals onto a single optical fiber by assigning each signal a different wavelength or lambda. This allows for the transmission of multiple virtual channels simultaneously. The correct answer states that WDM creates the virtual channels for multiplexing by using different wavelengths or lambdas. This is accurate as WDM utilizes different wavelengths or lambdas to separate and combine the signals, enabling efficient and high-capacity transmission over a single fiber.

- B.
  
  Start and stop pulses control data transmission
- C.
  
  System timing is not of critical importance
- D.
  
  All data bits are the same length in timing
Correct Answer
D. All data bits are the same length in timing

Explanation
In synchronous data operation, all data bits are the same length in timing. This means that each bit of data is transmitted within a fixed and consistent time frame. This ensures that the receiving end can accurately interpret and decode the data. Having all data bits of the same length in timing allows for efficient and reliable communication between devices.

a digital signal that contains synchronizing bits within the signal stream describes
- A.
  
  Synchronous operation
- B.
  
  Asynchronous operation
- C.
  
  Synchronous and /or isochronous operation
- D.
  
  Asynchronous and/or synchronous operation
Correct Answer
B. Asynchronous operation

Explanation
A digital signal that contains synchronizing bits within the signal stream describes asynchronous operation. In asynchronous operation, the sender and receiver do not share a common clock signal, and instead rely on start and stop bits to synchronize the transmission. The presence of synchronizing bits within the signal stream indicates that the transmission is asynchronous, as it includes additional information to ensure proper synchronization between sender and receiver.

Correct Answer
B. Good timing

Explanation
Good timing is essential for continuous error-free performance in communications. Timing refers to the synchronization of signals and data transmission, ensuring that information is transmitted and received at the correct time. Without proper timing, signals may be received or transmitted incorrectly, leading to errors in communication. Therefore, having good timing is crucial for maintaining a reliable and error-free communication system.

- C.
  
  Receive equipment can find its place in the bit stream
- D.
  
  Transmit equipment can find its place in the bit stream
Correct Answer
C. Receive equipment can find its place in the bit stream

Explanation
Synchronization ensures that the receive equipment can find its place in the bit stream. This means that the receive equipment is able to accurately identify and locate the incoming bits within the stream, allowing for proper decoding and processing of the data. Without synchronization, the receive equipment may struggle to correctly interpret the incoming bits, leading to errors and loss of data.

in what type of signal is the information contained in the transition, and there is a transition from one state to the other only when a mark bit is sent?
- A.
  
  Non-return-to-zero (NZR) level
- B.
  
  Non-return-to-zero mark
- C.
  
  Non-return-to-zero space
- D.
  
  Return-to-zero level
Correct Answer
B. Non-return-to-zero mark

Explanation
The correct answer is "non-return-to-zero mark". In a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoding scheme, the information is represented by the presence or absence of a signal level. In this case, the transition from one state to the other only occurs when a mark bit is sent, indicating the presence of a signal. Therefore, the information is contained in the transition and specifically in the "mark" state.
