(026) Which one of these is not an application of a radio frequency generator?
- A.
Verify transmitter frequencies
- B.
Troubleshooting receivers
- C.
Checking antenna systems
- D.
Aligning galvanometers
Correct Answer
D. Aligning galvanometersExplanation
Aligning galvanometers is not an application of a radio frequency generator. A radio frequency generator is typically used for tasks such as verifying transmitter frequencies, troubleshooting receivers, and checking antenna systems. However, aligning galvanometers involves adjusting and calibrating the sensitivity and accuracy of galvanometers, which are instruments used to measure small electrical currents. This process does not require the use of a radio frequency generator.Rate this question:

(027) A power reading that uses the abbreviation dBm indicates the
- A.
Ratio of decibels relative to a 1-milliwatt standard
- B.
Ratio of decibels relative to a 1-megawatt standard
- C.
Actual power level expressed in milliwatts
- D.
Actual power level expressed in megawatts
Correct Answer
A. Ratio of decibels relative to a 1-milliwatt standardExplanation
A power reading that uses the abbreviation dBm indicates the ratio of decibels relative to a 1-milliwatt standard. This means that the power level being measured is being compared to the power level of 1 milliwatt. The dBm unit is commonly used in telecommunications and signal strength measurements to express power levels in a logarithmic scale. By using dBm, it is easier to compare and analyze power levels across different devices and systems.Rate this question:

(028) The measurable frequency and power ranges of the HP 436A power meter are determined by the
- A.
Digital display
- B.
Power sensor
- C.
Power meter
- D.
Interface
Correct Answer
B. Power sensorExplanation
The correct answer is "power sensor" because the measurable frequency and power ranges of the HP 436A power meter are determined by the capabilities and specifications of the power sensor. The power sensor is responsible for converting the electrical power into a measurable signal, and its range and sensitivity determine the frequency and power levels that can be accurately measured by the power meter. The power meter itself is the device that displays and calculates the measurements, but it relies on the capabilities of the power sensor to determine the ranges.Rate this question:

(028) During what operation is the radio frequency blanking output used on the HP 436A power meter?
- A.
While in WATT mode operation
- B.
While in REMOTE mode operation
- C.
During the automatic zeroing operation
- D.
During calibration adjustment operation
Correct Answer
C. During the automatic zeroing operationExplanation
The radio frequency blanking output on the HP 436A power meter is used during the automatic zeroing operation. This suggests that during the zeroing process, the power meter utilizes the radio frequency blanking output to ensure accurate measurements by eliminating any interference or noise from the radio frequency signals.Rate this question:

(029) The two switches on the front panel of the wattmeter correspond to the
- A.
Power range of the reverse element
- B.
Power range of the forward element
- C.
Frequency range of the reverse element
- D.
Frequency range of the forward element
Correct Answer
B. Power range of the forward elementExplanation
The two switches on the front panel of the wattmeter correspond to the power range of the forward element. This means that the switches control the power measurement range of the forward element of the wattmeter. The forward element is responsible for measuring the power flowing in the intended direction, and the switches allow the user to select the appropriate power range for accurate measurements.Rate this question:

(029) What feature is useful for making adjustments to optimize any of the parameters which the wattmeter measures?
- A.
Peaking aid
- B.
Minimum reading
- C.
Maximum reading
- D.
Standing wave ratio
Correct Answer
A. Peaking aidExplanation
A peaking aid is a feature that helps in making adjustments to optimize the parameters measured by a wattmeter. It assists in fine-tuning the readings and ensuring accurate measurements. This feature allows for adjustments to be made to optimize the parameters being measured, enabling better precision and efficiency in wattmeter readings.Rate this question:

(030) Which measurement is not made with a spectrum analyzer?
- A.
Frequency stability
- B.
Peak-peak voltage
- C.
Amplitude modulation
- D.
Subcarrier oscillator outputs
Correct Answer
B. Peak-peak voltageExplanation
A spectrum analyzer is a device used to measure and display the frequency spectrum of signals. It is primarily used to analyze and measure the frequency content of a signal. Peak-peak voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of the difference between the maximum and minimum voltage levels in a signal. It is not directly related to the frequency spectrum of a signal and therefore cannot be measured using a spectrum analyzer.Rate this question:

(031) Which electronic counter measurement represents the average bit-to-bit time of an input signal?
- A.
Period
- B.
Scaling
- C.
Frequency
- D.
Time interval
Correct Answer
A. PeriodExplanation
The correct answer is Period. Period is the time it takes for one complete cycle of a repeating waveform, such as a signal. In the context of electronic counter measurement, the period represents the average bit-to-bit time of an input signal. It is a measure of the time it takes for one bit to be transmitted or processed in the signal.Rate this question:

(031) Which are the correct four classes of electronic counters?
- A.
Frequency counters, time counters, microwave counters, and reciprocal counters
- B.
Frequency counters, universal counters, microwave counters, and reciprocal counters
- C.
Frequency counters, universal counters, period counters, and reciprocal counters
- D.
Scaling counters, universal counters, microwave counters, and reciprocal counters
Correct Answer
B. Frequency counters, universal counters, microwave counters, and reciprocal countersExplanation
The correct answer is Frequency counters, universal counters, microwave counters, and reciprocal counters. These four classes of electronic counters cover a wide range of applications. Frequency counters are used to measure the frequency of a signal, while universal counters can measure frequency, period, time interval, and other parameters. Microwave counters are specifically designed for high-frequency measurements, and reciprocal counters are used to measure the reciprocal of a signal's frequency. Together, these four classes of counters provide a comprehensive set of tools for electronic measurements.Rate this question:

(032) What function is not part of the communication service monitor?
- A.
Radio frequency generator
- B.
Analog multimeter
- C.
Oscilloscope
- D.
Receiver
Correct Answer
B. Analog multimeterExplanation
An analog multimeter is not part of the communication service monitor because it is primarily used for measuring voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits, rather than analyzing and monitoring communication signals. The other options, such as the radio frequency generator, oscilloscope, and receiver, are all essential components of a communication service monitor as they are used for generating and analyzing radio frequency signals, visualizing waveforms, and receiving and decoding communication signals, respectively.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. ReceiverExplanation
The operational capability of the communication service monitor that receives amplitude and frequency modulated signals is the receiver. The receiver is responsible for capturing and decoding the signals, allowing the monitor to analyze and measure various parameters such as signal strength, quality, and modulation characteristics.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Function generatorExplanation
A function generator is a device that can generate various waveforms such as sine, square, and triangle waves. It is commonly used in communication service monitors to test and calibrate the operational capability of the monitor. By producing these waveforms, the function generator allows technicians to evaluate the performance of the monitor's receiver and other components. Therefore, the function generator is the operational capability that produces sine, square, and triangle waveforms in a communication service monitor.Rate this question:
