Q

You are measuring noise in a voice channel at a -4 dB test point level, the meter reads -73dBm, convert the reading into dBrnCO

A

dBrnC=dBm+90
dBrnC=-73dBm+90
dBrnC=17 dBrnC

TLP=dBrnC-dBrnCO
-4dB=17 dBrnC - dBrnCO
dBrnCO=21 dBrnCO

Q

If SWR is infinite, what is the type of load?

A

SWR=Vmax/Vmin
SWR=Zo/Zl
SWR can only be infinite if Zl approx. 0. If Zl is approx. 0, then the load is purely reactive

18
Q

Maximum digit of an international telephone number (CCITT REC.E161)

A

12 digits

19
Q

One Erlang is equal to___?

A

36 CCS (Centum Call Second)
1CCS=100 call-seconds
if 1 Erlang is 1 call hour or 1 call-3600 seconds,
simply divide it by 100 to get the equivalent in Centum Cal-Second
