Commucation Ws

The document contains questions about amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, digital signals, signal power, attenuation, and amplification. It asks the reader to calculate carrier and signal frequencies given changes to time axes, draw amplitude-modulated waves, explain how AM and FM waves change with different input signals, perform modulation calculations, identify types of modulation from frequency spectra, calculate possible radio stations and bandwidth advantages, compare digital and analog transmission, and calculate signal powers and attenuations at different points in transmission chains.

1 Imagine that all the numbers on the time axis in Figure 20.

3 are doubled, so that 100 becomes 200


and 200 becomes 400. Calculate the frequency of the carrier wave and the frequency of the signal.

2 Draw an amplitude-modulated wave with a carrier wave of frequency 1.0 MHz and a signal
frequency of 100 kHz. The time axis on your graph should be from 0 to 10 μs. On your graph, mark
the time for one complete wave of the signal and for one complete wave of the carrier.

3 Explain how an amplitude-modulated wave changes when the input signal:


a increases in loudness
b increases in frequency

4 Explain how a frequency-modulated wave changes, when the input signal:


a increases in loudness
b increases in frequency.

5 A signal of frequency 16 kHz and amplitude 3.0 V is used for frequency modulation of a carrier wave
of frequency 500 kHz. The frequency deviation of the carrier wave is 8.0 kHz V −1.
a What is the maximum frequency shift produced?
b What is the maximum frequency of the modulated carrier wave?
c How many times per second does the modulated carrier wave increase and decrease in
frequency
6 Figure 20.7 shows the frequency spectrum of the signal from a radio transmitter. A carrier and two
Sideband frequencies are present.

a What is the name of the type of modulation that produces two sideband frequencies?
b What is the carrier frequency?
c What is the frequency of the signal used to modulate the carrier wave?
d What is the bandwidth of the transmitted signal?

7 a Calculate the number of separate AM radio stations of bandwidth 9 kHz that are possible
in the frequency spectrum available for AM between 530 and 1700 kHz.
b Suggest why FM stations of bandwidth 200 kHz are not used for this range of frequencies.

8 Is the greater bandwidth available on FM an advantage or a disadvantage?

9 FM is used largely in towns and AM in rural settings. Suggest why.

10 Convert the following decimal numbers into binary numbers:


a 14
b 16

11 Convert the following binary numbers into decimal numbers:


a 1111
b 0001011

12 The diagrams in Figure 20.12 show a digital signal at the start of a long cable and at the end
of the cable. Both diagrams are drawn to the same horizontal scale (time) and vertical scale
(voltage)

a Explain what feature of the top diagram shows that the signal is digital.
b State and explain two advantages of digital transmission over analogue transmission of data.
c State and explain two reasons why the signal at the end of the long cable differs from the
signal at the start.

13 A signal has an input power 5.0 mW and an output power of 0.000 2 mW. What is the attenuation
in dB?
14 The attenuation of a 6.0 mW signal is 30 dB. What is the final power?

15 What is the signal-to-noise ratio when the signal and the noise have equal power?

16 A signal of 1.0 mW passes through an amplifier of gain 30 dB and then along a cable where the
attenuation is 18 dB.
a What is the overall gain of the signal in dB?
b What is the output power at the end of the cable?
