(002) When the modulating signal and carrier signal are combined within a modulator, the output signals contains a/an
- A.
  
  Modulating signal, upper sideband, lower sideband
- B.
  
  Carrier, upper sideband, and lower sideband
- C.
  
  Upper sideband and modulating signal
- D.
  
  Carrier and modulating signal
Correct Answer
B. Carrier, upper sideband, and lower sideband

Explanation
When the modulating signal and carrier signal are combined within a modulator, the output signals contain a carrier signal, an upper sideband, and a lower sideband. This is because the modulating signal is used to modulate the carrier signal, resulting in the creation of sidebands above and below the carrier frequency. These sidebands carry the information from the modulating signal. Therefore, the output signals consist of the original carrier signal along with the upper and lower sidebands.

(002) If a carrier frequency of 1 MHz and a modulating tone of 10 kHz goes to the modulator, the output signal include
- A.
  
  1.01 MHz, 1 MHz, and 0.99 MHz
- B.
  
  1.1 MHz, 1 MHz, and 0.9 MHz
- C.
  
  1.11 MHz, 1 MHz, 0.99 MHz
- D.
  
  1.111 MHz, 1 MHz, 0.999 MHz
Correct Answer
A. 1.01 MHz, 1 MHz, and 0.99 MHz

Explanation
When a carrier frequency of 1 MHz and a modulating tone of 10 kHz are fed into the modulator, the output signal will include frequencies that are the sum and difference of the carrier frequency and the modulating tone. In this case, the output signal will consist of the carrier frequency (1 MHz), the sum of the carrier frequency and the modulating tone (1.01 MHz), and the difference between the carrier frequency and the modulating tone (0.99 MHz).

5.

(002) If the modulating audio signal is 10 kHz wide, what is the bandwidth of the transmitted amplitude modulated signal?
- A.
  
  5 kHz
- B.
  
  10 kHz
- C.
  
  15 kHz
- D.
  
  20 kHz
Correct Answer
D. 20 kHz

Explanation
The bandwidth of an amplitude modulated signal is determined by the sum of the highest frequency component of the modulating signal and the carrier frequency. In this case, the modulating audio signal is 10 kHz wide, so the highest frequency component is 10 kHz. If we assume a carrier frequency of 10 kHz, the bandwidth would be the sum of the highest frequency component and the carrier frequency, which is 20 kHz. Therefore, the correct answer is 20 kHz.

Rate this question:
6.

(002) The bandwidth of an amplitude modulated signal is
- A.
  
  Two times the modulating signal
- B.
  
  The same as the modulating signal
- C.
  
  Determined by the modulation index
- D.
  
  Defined in terms of maximum amount of modulation
Correct Answer
A. Two times the modulating signal

Explanation
The bandwidth of an amplitude modulated signal is two times the modulating signal. This means that the range of frequencies required to accurately transmit the modulating signal is twice the range of frequencies present in the modulating signal itself. This is because in amplitude modulation, the modulating signal is used to vary the amplitude of the carrier signal, resulting in the creation of sidebands around the carrier frequency. These sidebands contain the information from the modulating signal and require additional frequency space, leading to a bandwidth that is twice the modulating signal.

(002) The amount of effect or change that intelligence has on the carrier in an amplitude modulated signal is expressed as the
- A.
  
  Percent of modulation
- B.
  
  Modulation index
- C.
  
  Bandwidth
- D.
  
  Deviation
Correct Answer
A. Percent of modulation

Explanation
The correct answer is percent of modulation. In amplitude modulation, the amount of effect or change that intelligence has on the carrier signal is expressed as the percent of modulation. This refers to the percentage of change in the amplitude of the carrier signal caused by the modulation process. The percent of modulation is a measure of the strength or intensity of the modulating signal in relation to the carrier signal. It determines the depth of modulation and affects the overall quality and fidelity of the modulated signal.

8.

(002) Which statement concerning bandwidth is true?
- A.
  
  Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics
- B.
  
  Undermodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics
- C.
  
  Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the output's increased amplitude
- D.
  
  Undermodulating increases bandwidth due to the output's decreased amplitude
Correct Answer
A. Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics

Explanation
Overmodulating increases bandwidth due to the production of harmonics. When a signal is overmodulated, it means that the amplitude of the signal is exceeding the maximum limit. This causes distortion in the signal, resulting in the production of harmonics. These harmonics contain additional frequency components that increase the overall bandwidth of the signal. Therefore, overmodulation leads to an increase in bandwidth due to the presence of harmonics.

(002) Reducing modulation to less than 100 percent gives
- A.
  
  More total power
- B.
  
  A reduction in carrier power
- C.
  
  No reduction in carrier power
- D.
  
  A reduction in carrier and sideband power
Correct Answer
C. No reduction in carrier power

Explanation
Reducing modulation to less than 100 percent means that the amplitude of the modulating signal is reduced, resulting in a decrease in the depth of modulation. This reduction in modulation does not affect the carrier power, as the carrier signal remains unchanged in amplitude. Therefore, there is no reduction in carrier power when modulation is reduced to less than 100 percent.

(003) In frequency modulation (FM), the amount of oscillator frequency change is
- A.
  
  Inversely proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal
- B.
  
  Directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal
- C.
  
  Inversely proportional to the phase of the modulating signal
- D.
  
  Directly proportional to the phase of the modulating signal
Correct Answer
B. Directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal

Explanation
In frequency modulation (FM), the amount of oscillator frequency change is directly proportional to the amplitude of the modulating signal. This means that as the amplitude of the modulating signal increases, the frequency of the oscillator also increases, and vice versa. This relationship allows for the encoding of information in the frequency variations of the FM signal.

(003) In frequency modulation (FM), what is considered a significant sideband?
- A.
  
  Sidebands containing at least 1 percent of the total transmitted power
- B.
  
  Sidebands containing at least 3 percent of the total transmitted power
- C.
  
  Sidebands containing at least 10 percent of the total transmitted power
- D.
  
  Sidebands containing at least 0.1 percent of the total transmitted power
Correct Answer
A. Sidebands containing at least 1 percent of the total transmitted power

Explanation
In frequency modulation (FM), a significant sideband is considered to be one that contains at least 1 percent of the total transmitted power. This means that the sideband carries a substantial amount of the signal information and contributes significantly to the overall transmission. Sidebands containing less than 1 percent of the total transmitted power may not be strong enough to effectively convey the desired information.

(003) What is the formula to find the modulating index?
- A.
  
  Deviation divided by frequency of modulation
- B.
  
  Deviation times frequency of modulation
- C.
  
  Sideband divide by carrier frequency
- D.
  
  Sideband times carrier frequency
Correct Answer
A. Deviation divided by frequency of modulation

Explanation
The formula to find the modulating index is the deviation divided by the frequency of modulation. The modulating index represents the ratio of the maximum deviation of the carrier frequency to the frequency of the modulating signal. By dividing the deviation by the frequency of modulation, we can calculate the modulating index, which is a crucial parameter in frequency modulation (FM) systems.

(004) In phase modulation (PM), the carrier's
- A.
  
  Phase is shifted at the rate of the modulating signal
- B.

- C.
  
  Amplitude is shifted at the rate of the modulating signal
- D.
  
  Amplitude is shifted with the phase of the modulating signal
Correct Answer
A. Phase is shifted at the rate of the modulating signal

Explanation
In phase modulation (PM), the phase of the carrier signal is shifted at the rate of the modulating signal. This means that the instantaneous phase of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the modulating signal. The amplitude of the carrier signal remains constant, but its phase changes based on the modulating signal. This allows for the encoding of information in the phase of the carrier signal, making PM a form of angle modulation.

(004) What is the advantage of adding more phase shifts?
- A.
  
  Easier detection
- B.
  
  Smaller bit error rate
- C.
  
  Better signal-to-noise ratio
- D.
  
  Higher data rates within a given bandwidth
Correct Answer
D. Higher data rates within a given bandwidth

Explanation
Adding more phase shifts allows for higher data rates within a given bandwidth. This is because each phase shift represents a different symbol or bit, and by increasing the number of phase shifts, more symbols can be transmitted per unit of time. This allows for a higher data transmission rate, meaning more information can be sent in the same amount of bandwidth.

- C.
  
  The quantizer limits the amplitude of the pulses
- D.
  
  The analog signal is band-limited
Correct Answer
D. The analog signal is band-limited

Explanation
In pulse code modulation (PCM), the first step is to band-limit the analog signal. This means that the analog signal is filtered to remove any frequencies that are outside the desired range. This is done to ensure that the signal can be accurately represented using discrete samples. By band-limiting the signal, it prevents any frequencies that are higher than the Nyquist frequency from being included in the sampling process, which could cause aliasing and distortion in the digital representation of the signal.

- C.
  
  Oscillating
- D.
  
  Band limiting
Correct Answer
A. Sampling

Explanation
The part of the pulse code modulation (PCM) process that converts a continuous time signal into a discrete time signal is sampling. Sampling involves taking regular intervals of the continuous signal and converting them into discrete values. This allows the signal to be represented digitally and processed by a computer or other digital devices. Sampling is a fundamental step in PCM and is necessary to accurately capture and reproduce the original analog signal.

Explanation
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) is a type of pulse modulation where the amplitude of the pulse train is varied according to the amplitude of the input signal. In PAM, the amplitude of the pulses represents the information being transmitted. By varying the amplitude of the pulses, the signal can be modulated to carry different levels of information. Hence, pulse amplitude modulation is the correct answer in this case.

(006) If an error should occur, what data transmission is lost in a synchronous transmission?
- A.
  
  One character
- B.
  
  Block of data
- C.
  
  A parity bit
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Block of data

Explanation
In synchronous transmission, data is sent in blocks rather than individual characters. Each block of data is transmitted together with synchronization bits to ensure accurate and efficient data transfer. If an error occurs during transmission, it is likely that the entire block of data is lost, rather than just one character or a specific bit. Therefore, the correct answer is "block of data".

Explanation
The amount of ones in a data bit pattern determines parity. Parity is a form of error checking where an extra bit, either 0 or 1, is added to a group of bits to make the total number of ones even or odd. This allows the receiver to detect if any errors occurred during transmission. By counting the number of ones in the data bit pattern, the receiver can determine whether the transmission is error-free or if there was a bit error.

  Absorption of the transmitted signal through the contaminated area
Correct Answer
A. Large attenuation of the transmitted signal casusing the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to fall below unity

Explanation
Scintillation effects communications by causing a large attenuation of the transmitted signal, which results in the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) falling below unity. This means that the strength of the received signal is significantly weakened, making it difficult to distinguish the signal from background noise. This can lead to poor quality and unreliable communication, especially in situations where a strong and clear signal is crucial.

Explanation
Scintillation refers to the rapid fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of radio waves caused by atmospheric disturbances. These disturbances, which are a result of initial nuclear radiation, can cause the radio waves to scatter and change direction, leading to fluctuations in signal strength. This can disrupt communications by causing signal fading and interference, making it difficult for the receiver to accurately decode the transmitted information.

  Rusty bolt
- B.
  
  Co-channel
- C.
  
  Brute force
- D.
  
  Spurious responses
Correct Answer
D. Spurious responses

Explanation
Spurious responses refer to a type of electromagnetic interference (EMI) that occurs when a receiver responds to off-frequency signals. This means that the receiver picks up and responds to signals that are not within its intended frequency range. These off-frequency signals can cause disruptions or distortions in the receiver's performance, leading to interference with the desired signals. Therefore, spurious responses can negatively impact the overall functionality and reliability of the receiver.
