327. It is a form of spread-spectrum communication in which the RF carrier continually moves from one frequency to another according to a prearranged pseudo-random pattern

ANSWER: Frequency hopping

328. A microwave transmission line that consists of a circuit board, working against two ground planes, one on the top and one on the bottom of the board.

331. A representation of a signal’s power or amplitude as a function of frequency.

ANSWER: Frequency domain

332. It is a detector for suppressed-carrier AM signals that works by multiplying the signal with the regenerated signal.

ANSWER: Product detector

333. Most communication satellites are geostationary to simplify tracking requirements, but low-earth-orbit satellites are coming into increasing use especially for mobile communications, because shorter distance to the satellite results in stronger signals.

334. What feature of SONET allows data spin with different paths to be synchronized?

ANSWER: Payload Pointer

335. Why do splices have lower loss than connector pairs?

ANSWER: Splices don not have the air gap that most connector have.

336. Why a matched line is indistinguishable from infinitely long line as seen from the source?

ANSWER: No energy is reflected from matched load, so from the source it appears as if energy put into the line continues to move down the line forever

337. Why does a higher impedance line have lower copper loss than a lower impedance line, all other things being equal?

ANSWER: A high impedance line has a lower current for a given power level than does a line lower characteristic impedance.

338. All else being equal, larger receiving antennas receiver a stronger signal than smaller antennas. Why is this?

ANSWER: They have a greater effective area so they intercept a greater proportion of the radiated energy

339. What is the effect on the resonant frequency of a monopole antenna of inserting a coil at its base?

ANSWER: Adding inductance to an antenna lowers its resonant frequency

340. Which of the antennas are suitable for direct connection to a waveguide?

ANSWER: Horn and slot antennas are suitable for direct connection to the waveguides

341. How can the polarization of a simple antenna be determined?

ANSWER: The polarization for most simple antennas is the same as the axis of the radiating element

342. How does stacking omnidirectional antennas or arrays vertically results in an increase in gain while keeping the horizontal radiation pattern omnidirectional?

ANSWER: Stacking these antennas reduces the radiation in the vertical plane, increasing gain in the horizontal plane.

343. Why is frequency reuse important in cellular systems?

ANSWER: Cellular systems increase their traffic capacity by reusing frequencies at relatively small distances.

344. Which of the following applies for a monochrome picture?

ANSWER: chroma amplifier off

345. Why is multimode fiber easier to work with than single mode fiber

ANSWER: Mutlimode fiber has a much larger core diameter, and also a larger numerical aperture, than single mode fiber

346. The noise-reduction effect that occurs with strong FM signals.

ANSWER: Threshold effect

347. What is the main difference between a wireless hub and a wireless bridge?

ANSWER: The bridge needs to have much more powerful transmitter because it needs to have greater range

348. Why is antenna height in mobile communications, even when the distance involved are much less than the distance to the horizon?

ANSWER: Greater antenna height results in reduced multipath interference and fewer obstruction in direct path

349. Why does modern long distance fiber communications system use wavelength on the order of 1550nm?

ANSWER: The loss in glass fiber is lowest at a wavelength of approximately 1550nm

350. The maximum distance that can be used with a fiber link can be limited by either loss or dispersion Limitation due to losses are expressed in a loss budget. While dispersion is expressed in terms of either bandwidth-distance product or rise time.

351. Why is low dispersion more important than low loss in modern fiber communication systems?

ANSWER: Losses can be made up by the use of optical amplifiers, but dispersion can only be corrected by using regenerative repeaters, which are more complex and expensive.

352. Why is loose-tube construction preferred when cables must be pulled through ducts?

ANSWER: Loose-tube construction reduces the pulling stress on the fiber.
