Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of using two copies of the carrier signals, each shifted by 90°, in a combination of ASK and PSK?

  • To send two different signals simultaneously on the same carrier frequency (correct)
  • To decrease the signal strength of the transmitted signal
  • To make the demodulation process simpler
  • To increase the bandwidth of the composite signal
  • In digitizing analog data, what is the function of a codec (coder-decoder)?

  • To increase the bandwidth of the signal
  • To convert analog samples into binary codes (correct)
  • To sample the analog data at regular intervals
  • To shift the analog signal by 90°
  • What is the significance of sampling at a rate higher than twice the highest signal frequency according to the Sampling Theorem?

  • Samples distort the original signal
  • Samples reduce the quality of the analog signal
  • Samples contain all the information of the original signal (correct)
  • Samples become irrelevant for conversion
  • In Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), what does the term '8000 samples per second' refer to?
