Question 1031 Discuss

The very high frequency (VHF) band covers the radio spectrum ranging from:

A
3 MHz to 30 MHz
B
30 MHz to 300 MHz
C
300 MHz to 3 GHz
D
3 GHz to 30 GHz

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

By ITU designation, the VHF band ranges from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, widely used for FM radio broadcasting, television, and land mobile stations.
Question 1032 Discuss

In a basic block diagram of a communication system, the component that introduces the most noise is typically the:

A
Transmitter
B
Modulator
C
Communication Channel
D
Receiver display

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

The communication channel (the physical medium or free space) is exposed to external environmental factors and cross-talk, making it the primary entry point for noise.
Question 1033 Discuss

For a pure silicon semiconductor at absolute zero temperature (0 Kelvin), the material acts as a:

A
Perfect conductor
B
Superconductor
C
Perfect insulator
D
Variable resistor

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

At absolute zero, intrinsic semiconductors have no thermal energy to break covalent bonds. Consequently, there are no free charge carriers, and it behaves as a perfect insulator.
Question 1034 Discuss

To achieve proper matching between a 75-ohm coaxial cable and a 300-ohm folded dipole antenna, which device is required?

A
Balun
B
Splitter
C
Amplifier
D
Isolator

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

A Balun (Balanced to Unbalanced) transformer is used to connect an unbalanced line (coax) to a balanced antenna (dipole) while also matching the 1:4 impedance ratio.
Question 1035 Discuss

In pulse code modulation (PCM), what defines 'Quantization Noise'?

A
Thermal noise generated within the transmitting circuitry
B
Interference from adjacent frequency channels
C
The error introduced between the actual analog value and its assigned discrete digital level
D
Errors resulting from pulse spreading in optical fibers

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

Quantization rounds a continuous analog value to the nearest discrete step. This rounding difference mathematically manifests as quantization error or noise.
Question 1036 Discuss

When a magnetic field induces eddy currents inside the iron core of an electrical machine, this primarily causes:

A
Increased torque output
B
Heat generation and power loss
C
Improved voltage regulation
D
Faster synchronization speeds

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Eddy currents are circulating currents induced within the bulk conductive core material. Due to the core's electrical resistance, they dissipate useful energy as I^2R heat loss.
Question 1037 Discuss

Which of the following is a key reason for using laminations in the armature core of a DC generator?

A
To reduce copper losses
B
To reduce hysteresis losses
C
To reduce eddy current losses
D
To provide mechanical strength

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

Laminating the core drastically increases its electrical resistance in the path of eddy currents, significantly minimizing eddy current power loss without affecting the magnetic flux.
Question 1038 Discuss

An AM broadcast transmitter radiates 100 kW unmodulated. If the carrier is modulated with a sine wave by 80%, what is the total transmitted power?

A
132 kW
B
164 kW
C
180 kW
D
100 kW

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

Pt = Pc * (1 + m^2/2) = 100 * (1 + 0.8^2/2) = 100 * (1 + 0.64/2) = 100 * 1.32 = 132 kW.
Question 1039 Discuss

Which component in an optical fiber system transforms electrical signals into optical signals for transmission?

A
Photodiode
B
Avalanche Photodetector
C
Laser Diode or LED
D
Optical Splitter

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or Laser Diodes act as light sources. They are modulated by input electrical currents to output corresponding optical pulses.
Question 1040 Discuss

What is the primary operational advantage of using an 'active' satellite over a 'passive' satellite?

A
Passive satellites are more expensive
B
Active satellites amplify and retransmit the received signal
C
Active satellites do not require solar panels
D
Passive satellites suffer zero latency

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Active satellites possess transponders that receive, filter, amplify, and translate the frequency of a signal before sending it back down, preventing signal fade-out.
