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. dBm is a unit of power measurement commonly used in telecommunications and electronics. It represents the power level in decibels (dB) compared to a reference power of 1 milliwatt (mW). This measurement allows for a standardized and easily comparable way to express power levels in various devices and systems.Rate this question:

If someone says, “we doubled our transmitter power;” how much is the gain in dB?
- A.
3 dB
- B.
6 dB
- C.
9 dB
- D.
12 dB
Correct Answer
A. 3 dBExplanation
When someone says "we doubled our transmitter power," it means that the power has increased by a factor of 2. In terms of decibels (dB), a doubling of power corresponds to a gain of 3 dB. This is because the dB scale is logarithmic, and a gain of 3 dB represents a doubling of power. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 dB.Rate this question:

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 a signal. It is primarily used to analyze the frequency content of a signal and identify its various components. Peak-peak voltage, on the other hand, is a measurement of the difference between the maximum and minimum voltage levels in an AC signal. While a spectrum analyzer can provide information about the amplitude of different frequency components, it is not specifically designed to directly measure peak-peak voltage. Therefore, peak-peak voltage is not typically measured with a spectrum analyzer.Rate this question:

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". In electronic counter measurements, the period represents the average bit-to-bit time of an input signal. It is the time taken for one complete cycle of a repetitive waveform. By measuring the period, we can determine the average time between each bit in the signal, which is useful in various applications such as data communication and signal processing.Rate this question:
