What is the condition for greatest output power at the transmitter without distortion?

Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering : Avionics - Quiz(MCQ)

Modulating signal voltage = 0

Modulating signal voltage > Carrier voltage

Modulating signal voltage < Carrier voltage

Modulating signal voltage = Carrier voltage

Correct Answer : Modulating signal voltage = Carrier voltage

Explanation : When the modulation index is 1 or the percentage of modulation is 100, modulating signal voltage is equal to the carrier voltage. This results in the greatest output power at the transmitter and the greatest output voltage at the receiver, with no distortion.

Which of the following is true with respect to the bandwidth of a 2kHz audio signal and a 2kHz binary data?

Bandwidth is higher for binary data than audio signals

Bandwidth is higher for audio signals than binary data

Bandwidth remains the same for both

Bandwidth keeps increasing with time for the binary data

Correct Answer : Option (A) : Bandwidth is higher for binary data than audio signals

Explanation : Since binary data is transmitted in square waves or pulses, they are generally made up of numerous fundamental sine waves. This occupies a huge bandwidth as compared to audio signals which are analog in nature and usually comprise of a lesser number of sine waves.

What is the signal to noise ratio if the maximum allowable frequency deviation is 4kHz and the frequency deviation by noise is 156.42Hz?

0.0364

0.0391

20.45

25.75

Correct Answer : Option (D) : 25.75

Explaination : N/S = Frequency deviation by noise / maximum deviation = 156.42/4000 =0.0391
S/N = (N/S)^-1=25.57.

Calculate the phase difference by noise if the Signal to noise ratio is 7:2.

8.21°

13.65°

15.366°

17.5°

Correct Answer : Option (C) : 15.366°

Explanation : ?=sin^-1(N/S)=sin^-1(2/7)=sin^-1(0.265)=15.366°.
