  • 3. 

    What device modulates digital data onto an analog carrier for transmission?

    • A.

      Channel Service Unit(CSU)

    • B.

      Digital Service Unit(DSU)

    • C.

    The correct answer is "Action" because it is the only option that specifies a type of menu. The other options, Prolog Procedure, Functional Area, and Object, do not indicate any specific type of menu. Additionally, the question states that the menu is used only with an operator status of level 3 or higher, which suggests that it is a menu for performing specific actions or tasks.

    What oscilloscope height-to-width ratio provides optimum display proportions for general-purpose waveform examinations?

    • A.

      1:1

    • B.

      2:3

    • C.

      3:4

    • D.

      4:6

    Correct Answer
    B. 2:3
    Explanation
    The 2:3 height-to-width ratio provides optimum display proportions for general-purpose waveform examinations on an oscilloscope. This ratio ensures that the waveform is displayed with a balanced and visually pleasing aspect ratio, allowing for accurate analysis and interpretation of the waveform. A 2:3 ratio means that the height of the waveform is two-thirds of its width, providing enough vertical resolution to capture the details of the waveform while still maintaining a wide enough display to see the overall shape and characteristics of the waveform.

    To center the trace on the cathode-ray rube (CRT) of an oscilloscope, what controls do you use?

    • A.

      Frequency and sweep calibrator

    • B.

      Expanded sweep and sweep calibrator

    • C.

      Horizontal and vertical gain controls

    • D.

      Horizontal and vertical position controls

    Correct Answer
    D. Horizontal and vertical position controls
    Explanation
    To center the trace on the cathode-ray tube (CRT) of an oscilloscope, you would use the horizontal and vertical position controls. These controls allow you to adjust the position of the trace on the screen horizontally and vertically, ensuring that it is centered and aligned properly. The frequency and sweep calibrator, expanded sweep, and sweep calibrator controls are not used for centering the trace on the CRT.

    What happens to the observed signal if you advance the oscilloscope synchronizing control too far?

    • A.

      Masking

    • B.

      Distortion

    • C.

      Deflection

    • D.

      Overloading

    Correct Answer
    B. Distortion
    Explanation
    Advancing the oscilloscope synchronizing control too far can lead to distortion in the observed signal. Distortion refers to any alteration or deformation in the shape or quality of the signal waveform. When the synchronizing control is advanced too far, it can cause the oscilloscope to incorrectly synchronize with the signal, resulting in a distorted representation of the waveform on the display. This distortion can make it difficult to accurately analyze and interpret the signal's characteristics, potentially leading to incorrect conclusions or measurements.

    What are the two major sections of a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) set?

    • A.

      Emitter and detector

    • B.

      Emitter and reciever

    • C.

      Transmitter and generator

    • D.

      Transmitter and reciever

    Correct Answer
    D. Transmitter and reciever
    Explanation
    The two major sections of a Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) set are the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is responsible for generating the test signal, which is then transmitted to the receiver. The receiver, on the other hand, is responsible for receiving the test signal and comparing it to the expected signal. By measuring the number of bit errors that occur during transmission, the BERT set can evaluate the performance and quality of the communication channel.

    Which section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set generates a pseudo-random test pattern?

    • A.

      Emitter

    • B.

      Reciever

    • C.

      Detector

    • D.

      Transmitter

    Correct Answer
    D. Transmitter
    Explanation
    The transmitter section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set generates a pseudo-random test pattern. This pattern is used to simulate real-world data transmission and assess the performance of the communication system. The transmitter generates a sequence of bits based on a pseudo-random algorithm, which is then sent to the receiver for analysis. By comparing the received data with the transmitted pattern, the system can measure the bit error rate and identify any issues or errors in the transmission.

    Which section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set measures the received test pattern?

    • A.

      Transmitter

    • B.

      Emitter

    • C.

      Detector

    • D.

      Transmitter

    Correct Answer
    D. Transmitter
    Explanation
    The section of a bit error rate test (BERT) set that measures the received test pattern is the Transmitter. The transmitter is responsible for sending out the test pattern, and it also receives and measures the pattern that is returned. This allows for the evaluation of the bit error rate, which is a measure of the quality of the transmission. The emitter and detector are not directly involved in measuring the received test pattern, making the transmitter the correct answer.

    What type of framing format should you use to conduct a bit error rate test (BERT) on a T-1 circuit configured for binary with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) coding?

    • A.

      Extended superframe

    • B.

      Alternate mark inversion

    • C.

      Return-to-zero

    • D.

      Superframe

    Correct Answer
    A. Extended superframe
    Explanation
    Extended superframe is the appropriate framing format to conduct a bit error rate test (BERT) on a T-1 circuit configured for binary with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) coding. Extended superframe is a framing format that allows for the detection and correction of errors in the transmission of data. It provides a structured sequence of frames that can be used to measure the bit error rate and ensure the accuracy of the transmission. This framing format is specifically designed to work with B8ZS coding, which is a method used to reduce the number of consecutive zeros in the data stream.

    What determines the size of a test pattern segment?

    • A.

      The total number of bits in the test pattern

    • B.

      The total number of bytes taht represent the bits test pattern

    • C.

      The number of bits that can represent the total number of bits in the test pattern

    • D.

      The number of bits in the number of bytes that are equally divided into the test pattern

    Correct Answer
    C. The number of bits that can represent the total number of bits in the test pattern
    Explanation
    The size of a test pattern segment is determined by the number of bits that can represent the total number of bits in the test pattern. This means that the size of the segment depends on the number of bits needed to represent the entire test pattern. The other options mentioned in the question are not relevant to determining the size of the test pattern segment.
