506 Sample Paper

This document provides sample questions for an assessment in electronic communication systems principles. The questions are intended to illustrate the type and difficulty of questions that may be asked to test breadth and depth of knowledge expected. It includes 6 sample questions related to topics like transmission impairments, modulation techniques, multiplexing methods, and block diagrams of communication systems. Candidates should have a non-programmable calculator, pen, pencil, and graph paper for the assessment.
