How many B and D channels does the standard configuration in North American Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) primary rate interface (PRI) application use?
23, 1
What is the most serious threat to voice network system integrity?
Subversion.
In the event of a power failure, how many hours can the vertical taut-wire sensor (VTWS) remain operational?
4
What is an example of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog techniques?
Pulse code modulation (PCM) and continuously variable slope delta (CVSD) modulation.
What is the range of the alternate current (AC) presence time delay relay in the AN/GSS-39
system before a power loss is reported?
1.5 to 15 seconds
What converts analog signal information into a digital carrier signal?
Digital modulation
Amplitude modulation (AM) requires a bandwidth that is
twice that of the modulating signal.
The information-carrying components that occur on either side of a carrier are called
sidebands.
The upper sideband in a single-sideband suppressed carrier (SSBSC) modulation is eliminated by
filtering.
We can express the 6-to-1 improvement of the single-sideband suppressed carrier (SSBSC)
modulation over conventional amplitude modulation (AM) as
8 dB of improvement.
A modulated waveform that contains a carrier plus two sidebands for each modulation frequency is a description of
an amplitude modulation (AM).
If 100 percent modulation is exceeded and there is distortion in the modulating signal, additional sidebands are generated. We identify these sidebands as what?
Splatter.
The only basic waveform in nature is a
pure sine wave
The amount of deviation in a frequency modulation (FM) signal is directly proportional to the modulating signal’s
amplitude
The amount of phase shift in a phase modulation (PM) signal is directly proportional to the
amplitude of the modulating signal.
In quadrature-phase shift keying (QPSK) the radio frequency (RF) bandwidth for a quadriphase signal is what of that required by a bi-phase signal, given the same data rate.
half
What form of modulation is insensitive to signal variations?
Binary-phase shift keying or bi-phase shift keying (BPSK).
What is the main advantage of differential phase shift keying (DPSK)?
It requires a less complex receiver than a basic phase shift keying (PSK) signal.
How many bits per character of a 16-step pulse-code modulation (PCM) system are used to describe the quantized analog sample?
4
Quantized analog modulation is actually
analog-to-digital conversion
The form of pulse modulation in which the pulse is varied within a set range of positions is known as
pulse-position modulation (PPM)
The process of coding pulse code modulation (PCM) quantized pulses to make them a constant duration and amplitude is
encoding
Which of the following is not considered an analog modulation techniques?
Pulse-Code Modulation
In Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), the transmitting multiplexer will put a bit or a byte from each of the incoming lines into a specifically allocated what?
Time Slot
