Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Normally what is the geometry shape of a recording pole?

    • A.

      A. Pentagon

    • B.

      B. Rectangle

    • C.

      C. Trapezoid

    • D.

      D. Octagon

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Trapezoid
    Explanation
    A recording pole is typically shaped like a trapezoid. This shape allows for a secure grip and stability while recording. The wider base of the trapezoid provides a solid foundation, while the narrower top allows for easy handling and control. This shape is commonly used in recording equipment to ensure the pole is comfortable to hold and maneuver during recording sessions.

    It is signal that is defined by the Reader Resolution:

    • A.

      A. Read-back signal

    • B.

      B. wavelength signal

    • C.

      C. oscillating signal

    • D.

      D. sinewave signal

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Read-back signal
    Explanation
    A read-back signal is a signal that is defined by the reader resolution. This signal is used to verify that a data transmission or recording has been accurately received or written. It is typically used in systems where data integrity is crucial, such as in data storage devices or communication systems. The read-back signal allows for error detection and correction, ensuring that the transmitted or recorded data matches the original data.

    What type of interference generates strong magnetic field and records "ghost" tracks

    • A.

      A. down track signal

    • B.

      B. cross track interference

    • C.

      C. side interference

    • D.

      D. ghost track interference

    Correct Answer
    B. B. cross track interference
    Explanation
    Cross track interference generates a strong magnetic field and records "ghost" tracks. This type of interference occurs when the read/write head of a magnetic storage device, such as a hard drive, accidentally writes data on adjacent tracks. This can happen due to misalignment or electrical noise, causing the magnetic field to bleed over to neighboring tracks. As a result, these neighboring tracks may contain faint or "ghost" copies of the original data, leading to data corruption and loss of accuracy.

    NLTS means:

    • A.

      A. non-linear transition shift

    • B.

      B. no line track side

    • C.

      C. new line track shield

    Correct Answer
    A. A. non-linear transition shift
    Explanation
    NLTS stands for "non-linear transition shift." This refers to a shift or change in a system or process that is not linear or predictable. It implies that the transition or change is not following a straight line or a linear pattern, but instead, it may have fluctuations or variations. This term is commonly used in fields such as mathematics, physics, and engineering to describe complex or non-linear systems.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    It is a result of "Early" shift spacing being smaller than required:

    • A.

      A. density effect

    • B.

      B. down effect

    • C.

      C. data rate effect

    • D.

      D. malfunction effect

    Correct Answer
    C. C. data rate effect
    Explanation
    The correct answer is c. data rate effect. This means that the issue mentioned in the question is caused by the data rate being too high, resulting in a smaller spacing between "Early" shifts than what is actually required. This could potentially lead to errors or malfunctions in the system.

    Resulting from effective track widths where both patterns are strongly written:

    • A.

      A. On-track OW

    • B.

      B. Off-track OW

    • C.

      C. cross-track OW

    • D.

      D. inteference OW

    Correct Answer
    A. A. On-track OW
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that the effective track widths of both patterns are strongly written, resulting in on-track OW. This means that the patterns on the tracks are well-defined and accurately written, leading to a successful on-track outcome. The other options, off-track OW, cross-track OW, and interference OW, are not applicable in this scenario as they do not align with the given explanation.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    This is also result of cross track OW that may have 10 to 15 dB degradation:

    • A.

      A. On-track OW

    • B.

      B. Off-track OW

    • C.

      C. cross-track OW

    • D.

      D. interference OW

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Off-track OW
    Explanation
    Off-track OW refers to the phenomenon where the read or write head of a magnetic storage device is not aligned perfectly with the track on the storage medium. This misalignment can result in a decrease in signal strength and an increase in noise, leading to a degradation of the signal quality. In this case, the given correct answer suggests that off-track OW can cause a degradation of 10 to 15 dB, indicating a significant impact on the performance of the system.

    A type of saturation on reader where clipping happens on the negative cycle:

    • A.

      A. negative saturation

    • B.

      B. symmetrical

    • C.

      C. positive saturation

    • D.

      D. both ends

    Correct Answer
    A. A. negative saturation
    Explanation
    Negative saturation refers to a type of saturation on a reader where clipping occurs on the negative cycle. This means that the signal being read by the reader exceeds the maximum limit on the negative side, resulting in distortion or clipping of the waveform. It is important to address negative saturation to ensure accurate and reliable readings from the reader.

    A kind of noise which is related to fluctuation of spins:

    • A.

      A. Electronic noise

    • B.

      B. head noise

    • C.

      C. magnetic noise

    • D.

      D. media dc noise

    Correct Answer
    C. C. magnetic noise
    Explanation
    Magnetic noise refers to the fluctuations in the magnetic field caused by the fluctuation of spins in a system. This type of noise is commonly encountered in magnetic materials or devices, where the random motion of spins can lead to variations in the magnetic field. Magnetic noise can have detrimental effects on the performance of magnetic systems, such as causing errors in data storage or interference in magnetic sensors. Therefore, option c, magnetic noise, is the correct answer as it specifically relates to the noise caused by the fluctuation of spins.

    What does BER mean:

    • A.

      A. Bit error rate

    • B.

      B. big error rate

    • C.

      C. bill eletric rate

    • D.

      D. bar edge rail

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Bit error rate
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a. Bit error rate. Bit error rate (BER) is a measure of the number of bits that are received incorrectly in a communication system. It represents the ratio of the number of bits received in error to the total number of bits transmitted. It is an important parameter in evaluating the performance and quality of digital communication systems, as a lower BER indicates a more reliable and accurate transmission. The other options, b, c, and d, are unrelated and do not represent the meaning of BER.
