Coaching Notes Comms 1

harmonics - causes distortion

Marconi - wireless telegraph

lambda/4 am broadcast antenna - 24 radials or more

industrial noise frequency - 15 - 160 MHz

For 100% percent modulation in AM, the modulation envelope has a peak value double the unmodulated carrier level.

The color phasor has what phase for the I signal? - 57deg

(Nov 1996)Multiplexing in a time division multiplexer occurs based upon - the positioning of data within a frame

The signal which is superimposed on a high-frequency sine wave is called - information

A duplexer is used to - Connect a receiver and a transmitter to the same antenna

(Nov 1998) What connects the front-end circuit of a VHF TV super heterodyne receiver? - Local oscillator, mixer and RF amplifier

pitch - determined by the frequency

AFC - holds the horizontal oscillator on frequency

fundamental frequency - lowest frequency produced by musical instruments

stability - major requirement of oscillators used in SSB receiver

Mel - unit of pitch

This noise increases with bias current level and is inversely proportional to the square of frequency. - burst noise
COMPARE - shot, flicker, thermal

ISB - commonly used in Telephone and Telegraph comm

above 20kHz - referred to as Radio freq

Baffle - A relatively rigid extended surface surrounding an acoustic source.

To what feature of the modulating tone is FM deviation proportional? - amplitude

What is gained by operating an oscillator on some subharmonic of the transmission frequency? - frequency stability

(Mar 1996) What is the primary advantage of DSBSC in AM? - No transmitter power is wasted in the carrier

Most household radio receiver uses ___ detector. - envelope

Q and I amplitudes - determine the purity of received colors

The audio is reconstructed from the radio wave by - the action of the filter capacitor connected across headset

(Apr 1998) An instrument for recording waveforms of audio frequency. - phonoscope
