=====================================================================
1. Band-limited signal whose minimum frequency is different from zero [f1, f2] is called
-------------------------------------.
2. The wavelength of a 300 MHz frequency signal is: (1 cm, 100 cm, 10 m, 100 m)
3. The rate at which signal element is changed and is expressed in baud. (Data rate
modulation rate
Encoding rate
none)
4. In radio frequency systems an -------------------- signal is always used as the main airborne
signal (Analog/digital)
5. Superimposing of the information onto the carrier is called -----------------------6. Error rates are higher in ---------------------- encoding scheme
7. Increased signal power in presence of higher interference or noise level would make it
possible to receive the signal successfully (True/False)
8. Thermal noise is dependent on carrier frequency and is lower at higher frequency and
vice versa. (True/False)
9. Increasing receiver amplification can improve the signal to noise ratio (True/False)
10. ----------------------------noise occurs if signals with different frequencies share the same
medium
11. Diffraction causes bending of radio waves as they propagate through the atmosphere
(True / False)
12. Ground wave propagation causes due to tendency of low frequencies to tilt down.
(True/false)
13. A kind of fading that occurs when a user passes obstacles (buildings) well in excess of a
wavelength (Fast, Flat, Selective, Slow)
14. Additive White Gaussian noise channel is suitable for -----------------------
15. ------------------------- channel is suitable when there exist Direct LOS path between
transmitter and receiver
16. Forward error correction codes are used in wireless transmission
because ..............................
17. CRC helps to detect and correct errors (True/False)
18. ratio of data bits to total bits is called
19. Hamming distance of two binary strings is the count of number of identical bits in two
strings (True/False)
20. The Hamming distance d of a Block code is the minimum distance between two code
words, which can be used to detect upto ---------- errors and correct upto --------- errors.
21. Hamming code has minimum hamming distance --------- and can correct ------- bit
error(s).
22. BCH is generalization of ---------------------------------- and can correct --------- bit error
(s).
23. In --------------------------------- codes, data is processed in chunks of bits called symbols.
24. Automatic Repeat request provides two functions; ----------------------- and
---------------------------25. A multiple access technique which is fairly efficient with a small base population and
with constant traffic. (CDMA, FDMA, TDMA, Hybrid FDMA/TDMA)
26. In pure ALOHA a sender after sensing the medium immediately sends the data packet?
(True/False)
27. 5. In slotted ALOHA a sender can send only at the beginning of a time slot and wait
otherwise? (True/False)
28. 6. In persistent CSMA, a node wait for random amount of time after last collision before
sensing the channel again? (True/False)
29. 7. In p-persistent CSMA, a node decide to transfer with probability p on current time
slot? (True/False)
Good Luck
