Question 4: A low-frequency baseband signal must be translated into which kind of frequencies before transmission?
(a) High or radio frequencies
(b) Audio frequencies
(c) Subsonic frequencies
(d) Zero frequency
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) High or radio frequencies

Explanation:
1. Efficient radiation needs an antenna of size comparable to the wavelength; a 20 kHz signal has a 15 km wavelength.
2. So the baseband signal is translated to high (radio) frequencies by modulation.

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) resonant

Explanation:
1. A half-wave antenna supports a standing wave and radiates most efficiently at this length.
2. This is the resonant condition.

Question 7: Which of the following statements is correct?
(a) Optical fibres are subject to electromagnetic interference from outside
(b) Optical fibres have extremely low transmission loss
(c) While tuning a broadcast station we tune the antenna
(d) Digital signals are continuous in time and amplitude
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Optical fibres have extremely low transmission loss

Explanation:
1. Optical fibres carry light by total internal reflection and have very low loss.
2. They are free from external electromagnetic interference.
3. A receiver is tuned by varying the local oscillator or resonant circuit, not the antenna.
4. Digital signals take discrete values.

Question 8: The orbit of a geostationary satellite lies
(a) in the equatorial plane at zero inclination
(b) in the polar plane
(c) at 45 degrees to the equatorial plane
(d) in any plane through the Earth's centre
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) in the equatorial plane at zero inclination

Question 11: Which mode of propagation is most suitable for carrier waves of frequency around 100 MHz?
(a) Satellite only
(b) Ground wave
(c) Line of sight (space wave)
(d) Ionospheric (sky wave)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) Line of sight (space wave)

Explanation:
1. Above about 40 MHz, communication is essentially limited to line-of-sight paths.
2. Waves at 100 MHz are not reflected by the ionosphere and the ground wave attenuates quickly.

Question 12: Ground waves are polarised
(a) parallel to the Earth's surface
(b) normal to the Earth's surface
(c) at 45 degrees to the Earth's surface
(d) in any direction
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) normal to the Earth's surface

Explanation:
1. Ground waves are vertically polarised, because a horizontal electric field would be short-circuited by the conducting ground.

Question 13: The critical frequency of the ionosphere, which gets reflected back from it,
(a) is the same for all layers of the ionosphere
(b) is different for different layers of the ionosphere
(c) is not dependent on the layers of the ionosphere
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) is different for different layers of the ionosphere

Explanation:
1. \( f_c = 9\sqrt{N_{max}} \), where \( N_{max} \) is the maximum electron density of the layer.
2. Different layers have different electron densities, so their critical frequencies differ.

Question 14: In sky-wave propagation, the skip distance depends on
(a) the frequency of the electromagnetic waves transmitted
(b) the critical frequency of the layer
(c) the height of the layer above the Earth's surface
(d) all of the above
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) all of the above

Explanation:
1. \( D_{skip} = 2h\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{f}{f_c}\right)^2 - 1} \).
2. It depends on the layer height \( h \), the wave frequency \( f \) and the critical frequency \( f_c \).

Question 15: For single side band transmission, a balanced modulator is used to
(a) increase the power of the carrier wave
(b) increase the amplitude of the carrier wave
(c) suppress the audio signal
(d) suppress the carrier component
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) suppress the carrier component

Explanation:
1. Most of the power of an AM wave is in the carrier, which carries no information.
2. A balanced modulator cancels the carrier, leaving only the sidebands.

Question 16: For 100% modulation (AM), the useful part (sidebands) of the total power radiated is
(a) \( \dfrac{1}{2} \) of the total power
(b) \( \dfrac{1}{3} \) of the total power
(c) \( \dfrac{1}{4} \) of the total power
(d) \( \dfrac{2}{3} \) of the total power
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \dfrac{1}{3} \) of the total power

Explanation:
1. Sideband power \( = \dfrac{m_a^2}{2}P_c \) and total power \( = \left(1+\dfrac{m_a^2}{2}\right)P_c \).
2. For \( m_a = 1 \): ratio \( = \dfrac{1/2}{1+1/2} = \dfrac{1}{3} \).

Question 17: In an FM transmission the frequency deviation is 18.75 kHz. If it broadcasts in the 88-108 MHz band (maximum deviation 75 kHz), the percent modulation is
(a) 10%
(b) 25%
(c) 50%
(d) 75%
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 25%

Explanation:
1. Percent modulation \( = \dfrac{\Delta f_{actual}}{\Delta f_{max}}\times100 = \dfrac{18.75}{75}\times100 = 25\% \).

Question 18: The power developed by an amplitude modulated wave in a load resistance of 100 \( \Omega \), if the peak voltage of the carrier wave is 100 V and the modulation index is 0.4, is
(a) 50 W
(b) 54 W
(c) 104 W
(d) 4 W
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 54 W

Explanation:
1. Carrier power \( P_c = \dfrac{E_c^2}{2R} = \dfrac{100^2}{2\times100} = 50 W \).
2. \( P = P_c\left(1+\dfrac{m_a^2}{2}\right) = 50\left(1+\dfrac{0.16}{2}\right) = 54 W \).

Question 19: A 1000 kHz carrier is simultaneously modulated with 300 Hz, 800 Hz and 2 kHz audio waves. The frequencies present in the output are
(a) 999.7 kHz, 1000.3 kHz, 999.2 kHz
(b) 1000.8 kHz, 998 kHz, 1002 kHz
(c) 1002.8 kHz, 996 kHz, 1106 kHz
(d) both (a) and (b)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) both (a) and (b)

Explanation:
1. Each modulating frequency gives carrier plus and minus that frequency.
2. 300 Hz: 1000.3 and 999.7 kHz. 800 Hz: 1000.8 and 999.2 kHz. 2 kHz: 1002 and 998 kHz.

Question 20: Consider the amplitude modulated signal \( x_{AM}(t) = 10\,(1 + 0.5\sin 2\pi f_m t)\cos 2\pi f_c t \). The average total side-band power (taking a 1 \( \Omega \) load) is
(a) 25
(b) 12.5
(c) 6.25
(d) 3.125
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 6.25

Explanation:
1. Carrier amplitude \( A_c = 10 \), so \( P_c = \dfrac{A_c^2}{2} = 50 \).
2. Total sideband power \( = \dfrac{m_a^2}{2}P_c = \dfrac{0.25}{2}\times50 = 6.25 \).

Question 21: The picture signal in a TV broadcast is modulated in
(a) SSB
(b) VSB
(c) FM
(d) DSB
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) VSB

Explanation:
1. Vestigial side band (VSB) modulation reduces the bandwidth because the same information is present in both sidebands.
2. SSB is not used because it is difficult to remove one sideband completely.

Question 23: Electromagnetic waves with frequencies greater than the critical frequency \( f_c \) of the ionosphere cannot be used for sky wave propagation because
(a) the refractive index of the ionosphere becomes too high for total internal reflection to occur when \( f > f_c \)
(b) the refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very low when \( f < f_c \)
(c) the refractive index of the ionosphere is very high when \( f < f_c \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) the refractive index of the ionosphere becomes too high for total internal reflection to occur when \( f > f_c \)

Explanation:
1. Total internal reflection requires a sufficiently low refractive index of the ionosphere.
2. For \( f > f_c \) the refractive index rises towards 1, so the wave passes through instead of being reflected.

Question 24: A 1 kW carrier is modulated to a depth of 80%. The total power in kW in the modulated wave is
(a) 1.32
(b) 1.56
(c) 1.84
(d) 1.96
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 1.32

Explanation:
1. \( P_t = P_c\left(1+\dfrac{m_a^2}{2}\right) = 1\times\left(1+\dfrac{0.64}{2}\right) = 1.32 \) kW.

Question 25: For an AM wave the maximum voltage was found to be 10 V and the minimum voltage 4 V. The modulation index of the wave is
(a) 0.33
(b) 0.43
(c) 0.56
(d) 0.64
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 0.43

Explanation:
1. \( m_a = \dfrac{V_{max}-V_{min}}{V_{max}+V_{min}} = \dfrac{10-4}{10+4} = 0.43 \).
