    When timing digital signals, what transmission type is performed by synchronizing the data bits in phase or in unison with equally spaced clock signals or pulses.

    • Synchronous

    • Asynchronous

    Correct Answer
    A. Synchronous
    Explanation
    Synchronous transmission is performed by synchronizing the data bits in phase or in unison with equally spaced clock signals or pulses. In this type of transmission, the sender and receiver are synchronized with each other using a common clock signal. The data is transmitted in fixed time intervals, ensuring that the receiver knows exactly when each bit of data is being sent. This allows for more efficient and reliable communication as errors can be easily detected and corrected. Asynchronous transmission, on the other hand, does not rely on a common clock signal and each data bit is sent individually with start and stop bits.

    When converting analog signals to digital, if you have a frequency of 4 kHz, what would your sampling rate be:

    • 200

    • 2000

    • 4000

    • 800

    • 8000

    Correct Answer
    A. 8000
    Explanation
    The sampling rate for converting analog signals to digital is typically twice the frequency of the analog signal, according to the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. In this case, the analog signal has a frequency of 4 kHz, so the sampling rate would be 8 kHz, which is equivalent to 8000 samples per second.

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

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    What is the rating for oxidation resistance for aluminum.

    • Poor

    • Fair

    • Good

    • Excellent

    Correct Answer
    A. Poor
    Explanation
    The rating for oxidation resistance for aluminum is poor. This means that aluminum is not very resistant to oxidation, which is the process of a material reacting with oxygen and forming an oxide layer. This poor rating suggests that aluminum is more likely to corrode or deteriorate when exposed to oxygen or other oxidizing agents.
