Choose the letter of the best answer in each questions.
1. In the stabilize reactance modulator AFC system,
a. the discriminator must have a fast time constant to prevent demodulation
b. the higher the discriminator frequency, the better the oscillator frequency stability
c. the discriminator frequency must not be too low, or the system will fail
d. phase modulation is converted into FM by the equalizer circuit
Answer: Option C
Solution:
2. In the spectrum of a frequency-modulated wave
a. the carrier frequency disappears when the modulation index is large
b. the amplitude of any sideband depends on the modulation index
c. the total number of sidebands depends on the modulation index
d. the carrier frequency cannot disappear
Answer: Option B
Solution:
3. The difference between phase and frequency modulation
a. is purely theoretical because they are the same in practice
b. is too great to make the two system compatible
c. lies in the poorer audio response of phase modulation
d. lies in the different definitions of the modulation index
Answer: Option D
Solution:
4. Indicate the false statement regarding the Armstrong modulation system
a. The system is basically phase, not frequency modulation,
b. AFC is not needed, as crystal oscillator is used.
c. Frequency multiplication must be used
d. Equalization is unnecessary
Answer: Option D
Solution:
5. An FM signal with a modulation index mf is passed through a frequency tripler. The wave in the output of the tripler will have a modulation index of
a. mf/3
b. mf
c. 3mf
d. 9mf
Answer: Option C
Solution:
6. An FM signal with a deviation δ is passed through a mixer, and has its frequency reduced fivefold. The deviation in the output of the mixer is
a. 5δ
b. Indeterminate
c.δ/5
d. δ
Answer: Option D
Solution:
7. A pre-emphasis circuit provides extra noise immunity by
a. boosting the bass frequencies
b. amplifying the higher audio frequencies
c. preamplifying the whole audio band
d. converting the phase modulation to FM
Answer: Option B
Solution:
8. Since noise phase-modulates the FM wave, as the noise sideband frequency approaches the carrier frequency, the noise amplitude
a. remains constant
b. is decreased
c. is increased
d. is equalized
Answer: Option B
Solution:
