Assignment- Week 12
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ/MSQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10

QUESTION 1:
What is the purpose of digital modulation in transmitting data over guided and unguided media?
a) To convert analog signals to digital signals
b) To increase the data rate
c) To convert digital signals to analog signals
d) To encode digital bits into analog signals
Correct Answer: (a)
Explanation: The purpose of digital modulation in transmitting data over guided and unguided
media is to convert analog signals to digital signals

QUESTION 2:
How does Manchester encoding differ from Differential Manchester encoding?
a) Manchester encoding uses transitions to represent bits, while Differential Manchester
encoding uses the absence of transitions.
b) Manchester encoding uses transitions to represent bits, while Differential Manchester
encoding uses specific transitions to represent 1s and 0s.
c) Manchester encoding encodes bits based on their position within the clock cycle, while
Differential Manchester encoding encodes bits based on transitions at the midpoint of the
clock cycle.
d) Manchester encoding and Differential Manchester encoding are the same.
Correct Answer: (b)
Explanation: While both methods utilize transitions for encoding, Differential Manchester
encoding relies on the presence or absence of transitions relative to the previous level to represent
specific bit values (0 or 1), whereas Manchester encoding uses specific transitions (high-to-low or
low-to-high) in the middle of the bit period.

QUESTION 3:
For a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 1 MHz, if we want a maximum bit rate of 4 Mbps,
what is the required number of signal levels?

b) 4
c) 6
d) 8

Correct Answer: (b)

Explanation: According to the Nyquist theorem, the maximum bit rate for a noiseless channel is
given by 2 × Bandwidth × log2(L), where L is the number of signal levels. Given the bandwidth is 1
MHz and the maximum bit rate is 4 Mbps, we have:
4 × 106 = 2 × 106 × log2(L)
2 = log2(L)
L=22 = 4
So, the required number of signal levels is 4.

QUESTION 4:
What is the bandwidth of a signal with frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 500 Hz?
a) 100 Hz
b) 400 Hz
c) 500 Hz
d) 600 Hz

Correct Answer: (b)


Explanation: Bandwidth is the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies in a signal.
Here, the bandwidth is 500 Hz − 100 Hz = 400 Hz.

QUESTION 5:
Which of the following is NOT a cause of transmission impairment?
a) Attenuation
b) Noise
c) Distortion
d) Congestion

Correct Answer: (d)


Explanation: Congestion is NOT a cause of transmission impairment.

QUESTION 6:
What does SSL stand for in the SSL/TLS Protocol?
a) Secure Service Layer
b) Safe Sockets Layer
c) Secure Sockets Layer
d) Standalone Security Layer
Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: SSL stand for Secure Sockets Layer

c) Allow or deny access based on content and location


d) Efficient utilization of bandwidth through caching
Correct Answer: (b)
Explanation: Translating private IP addresses to public IP addresses is not a function of an HTTP
Proxy.

QUESTION 8:
If there are n signal sources of the same data rate, then the TDM link has _______ slots.
a) n
b) n/2
c) n*2
d) 2n
Correct Answer: (a)
Explanation: In TDM, the total unit of time is divided equally among all the signal sources and
each and every source has access to the complete channel bandwidth during its allotted time slot.
When the time slot of the source is not active, it remains idle and waits for its slot to begin.

QUESTION 9:
Which of the following attacks can actively modify communications or data?
a) both active and passive attacks
b) neither active and passive attacks
c) active attacks
d) passive attacks
Correct Answer: (c)
Explanation: Active attacks can actively modify communications or data

QUESTION 10:
Guard bands increase the bandwidth for
a) FDM
b) TDM
c) CDM
d) None of these above
Correct Answer: (d)
Explanation: In FDM overlapping is not possible because of guard bands
