B-003-010-004 Which of the following modes of transmission is usually detected with a product detector?
A Double sideband full carrier
B Frequency modulation
C Pulse modulation
D Single sideband suppressed carrier
(C)
B-003-012-005 In a typical single-sideband phone transmitter, what circuit processes signals from the balanced modulator and sends signals to the mixer?
A RF amplifier
B Carrier oscillator
C Filter
D IF amplifier
(B)
B-003-012-009 The purpose of a balanced modulator in an SSB transmitter is to:
A make sure that the carrier and both sidebands are in phase
B suppress the carrier and pass on the two sidebands
C make sure that the carrier and both sidebands are 180 degrees out of phase
D ensure that the percentage of modulation is kept constant
(D)
B-003-012-010 In a SSB transmission, the carrier is:
A transmitted with one sideband
B inserted at the transmitter
C of no use at the receiver
D reinserted at the receiver
(A)
B-003-012-011 The automatic level control(ALC) in a SSB transmitter:
A controls the peak audio input so that the power amplifier is not overdriven
B reduces transmitter audio feedback
C increases the occupied bandwidth
D reduces the system noise
(D)
B-003-014-006 What is the reason for using a properly adjusted speech processor with a single-sideband phone transmitter?
A It reduces average transmitter power requirements
B It reduces unwanted noise pickup from the microphone
C It improves voice frequency fidelity
D It improves signal intelligibility at the receiver
(D)
B-003-014-007 If a single-sideband phone transmitter is 100% modulated, what will a speech processor do to the transmitter's power?
A It will increase the output PEP
B It will decrease the peak power output
C It will decrease the average power output
D It will add nothing to the output Peak Envelope Power(PEP)
(D)
B-003-014-008 When switching from receive to transmit:
A the transmit oscillator should be turned off
B the receiving antenna should be connected
C the power supply should be off
D the receiver should be muted
(A)
B-003-014-009 A switching system to enable the use of one antenna for a transmitter and receiver should also:
A disable the unit not being used
B ground the antenna on receive
C switch between meters
D disconnect the antenna tuner
(B)
B-003-014-010 An antenna changeover switch in a transmitter-receiver combination is necessary:
A to allow more than one transmitter to be used
B so that one antenna can be used for transmitter and receiver
C to change antennas for operation on other frequencies
D to prevent RF currents entering the receiver circuits
