    The bandwidth of a multimode system is a function of:

    • A.

      Chloric dispersion

    • B.

      Chromatic dispersion

    • C.

      Medial dispersion

    • D.

      Modal dispersion

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Chromatic dispersion
    D. Modal dispersion
    Explanation
    The bandwidth of a multimode system is determined by chromatic dispersion and modal dispersion. Chromatic dispersion occurs when different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds, causing the signal to spread out and degrade over long distances. Modal dispersion, on the other hand, happens when light rays take different paths within a multimode fiber, leading to different arrival times at the receiver and causing signal distortion. Both chromatic dispersion and modal dispersion limit the maximum data rate that can be transmitted over a multimode system.

    Attenuation to Crosstalk ratio (ACR) is calculated how:

    • A.

      Received noise - received signal

    • B.

      Minimum NEXT loss - maximum attenuation

    • C.

    Correct Answer
    B. Minimum NEXT loss - maximum attenuation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Minimum NEXT loss - maximum attenuation." This calculation is used to determine the Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio (ACR). ACR is a measure of the difference between the minimum NEXT (Near End Crosstalk) loss and the maximum attenuation. NEXT loss refers to the amount of crosstalk between adjacent cables, while attenuation measures the loss of signal strength. By subtracting the maximum attenuation from the minimum NEXT loss, we can determine the ACR, which helps assess the quality and performance of a communication channel.

    NEXT loss is dominated by components in the near zone, what is defined as the near zone:

    • A.

    • B.

    • C.

    • D.

    Correct Answer
    B.
    Explanation
    The near zone is defined as the region close to the source where the components of the NEXT loss are dominant. In this region, the effects of coupling, crosstalk, and other factors are more significant compared to the far zone. The near zone is characterized by a higher level of electromagnetic field interactions and shorter distances between the components, leading to increased signal degradation. Therefore, understanding and mitigating the effects in the near zone are crucial for minimizing NEXT loss and maintaining signal integrity.

    The rate at which the digital signal state changes and the bit transmission rate are the same

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the rate at which the digital signal state changes, known as the baud rate, is not necessarily the same as the bit transmission rate. The baud rate refers to the number of signal changes per second, while the bit transmission rate refers to the number of bits transmitted per second. In some cases, multiple bits can be transmitted per signal change, resulting in a higher bit transmission rate than the baud rate. Therefore, the two rates can be different.

    When converting digital data to digital signals, what are the two common methods of encoding:

    • A.

      Manchester

    • B.

      Winchester

    • C.

      Alternate mark inversion (AMI)

    • D.

      Alternate bit inversion (ABI)

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Manchester
    C. Alternate mark inversion (AMI)
    Explanation
    The two common methods of encoding when converting digital data to digital signals are Manchester and Alternate mark inversion (AMI). In the Manchester encoding method, the signal transitions in the middle of each bit, with a high-to-low transition representing a 0 and a low-to-high transition representing a 1. This ensures that there is always a transition in the middle of each bit, providing synchronization and reducing the chance of errors. In the AMI encoding method, a zero is represented by no line signal, while a one is represented by alternating positive and negative line signals. This method also helps in synchronization and reduces the chance of errors.

    When converting analog signals to a digital signal the sampling rate must be at least three times the highest frequency.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    When converting analog signals to a digital signal, the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency according to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. This theorem states that in order to accurately reconstruct a continuous signal from its samples, the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal. Therefore, the statement that the sampling rate must be at least three times the highest frequency is incorrect.

    • C.

      +4 dB

    • D.

      +5 dB

    Correct Answer
    B. +3 dB
    Explanation
    When the power of a signal is doubled, it results in an increase of 3 dB. Decibels (dB) is a logarithmic unit used to measure the ratio of two power levels. In this case, a doubling of power corresponds to a ratio of 2:1, which is equivalent to a 3 dB increase. This is because the logarithm of 2 is approximately 0.301, and when multiplied by 10, it gives a value of approximately 3 dB. Therefore, the correct answer is +3 dB.
