passes through a small aperture
ANSWER: Diffraction
245. It is a television receiver design that uses mixing between the
picture and sound carriers to generate the sound intermediate
frequency.
ANSWER: Intercarrier sound
246. A spurious pattern or other distortion in a facsimile record
copy caused by unwanted modulation products arising from
the transmission of a carrier signal, and appearing in the form
of a rectified baseband that interferes with the lower sideband
of the carrier.
ANSWER: Kendall effect
Note: The Kendall effect occurs principally when the single-
sideband width is greater than half of the facsimile carrier
frequency.
247. It is the interchanging of the frequencies of carrier channels to
accomplish specific purposes, such as to prevent feedback
and oscillation, to reduce crosstalk, and to correct for a high
frequency-response slope in the transmission line.
ANSWER: Frequency Frogging
248. About the Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, the first problem is
less important then it might seem. Shorter range results in
much less propagation loss and removes the requirement for
highly directional antenna. This makes antenna tracking less
critical. In any case, if the antenna is mounted on a moving
vehicle or person the direction to the satellite is constantly
changing. Even with geostationary satellite. When real time
communication is required, the only way to address the
second problem is to use a __________ containing more than
one satellite.
ANSWER: Constellation
249. It is the cheapest LAN configuration, and if one station fails
the whole system fails.
ANSWER: Ring topology
250. A network station which all station attach to a common cable
and the fastest LAN configuration.
ANSWER: Bus topology
251. Cellular radios that use FM have a maximum deviation of
___________.
ANSWER: +-12kHz
252. In the GSM system, a telephone number that is unique to a
given user, worldwide
ANSWER: International Mobile Subscriber Identification
(IMSI)
253. A frequency multiplier can be created by tuning the output
circuit of a class C amplifier to a
ANSWER: multiple of the input frequency
254. The __________ is a variation of the discriminator. It greatly
reduces sensitivity to amplitude variations, at the cost of a
50% reduction in output voltage.
ANSWER: ratio detector
255. It is the time between the instant of going off-hook and the
instant of receiving a dial tone.
ANSWER: dial-tone delay
