Questions and Answers

What is a key characteristic of synchronous transmission?

  • It can operate at different Baud rates for the sender and receiver.
  • It requires a shared clock signal between the sender and receiver. (correct)
  • It is commonly used in real-time systems that require asynchronous transmission.
  • It uses start and stop bits to indicate transmission duration.

What is the primary purpose of the start and stop bits in asynchronous transmission?

  • To indicate the duration of a transmission. (correct)
  • To provide a clock signal for the transmission.
  • To synchronize the Baud rate of the sender and receiver.
  • To ensure the transmission is received in the same order it was sent.

What type of data transmission is typically used in the fetch-execute cycle of a computer's processor?

  • Asynchronous transmission with a variable Baud rate.
  • Synchronous transmission with a shared clock signal. (correct)
  • Serial transmission using a single line.
  • Parallel transmission using multiple lines.
