This set of Digital Communication Question Bank focuses on “PAM, PWM and TDM”

1. Flat top sampling of low pass signals
a) Gives rise to aperture effect
b) Implies over sampling
c) Leads to aliasing
d) Introduces delay distortion
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Flat top sampling of low pass signals gives rise to aperture effect.

2. In a delta modulation system, granular noise occurs when the
a) Modulating signal increases rapidly
b) Pulse rate decreases
c) Pulse amplitude decreases
d) Modulating signal remains constant
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In a delta modulation system, granular noise occurs when the modulating signal remains constant.

4. Coherent demodulation of FSK signal can be performed using
a) Matched filter
b) BPF and envelope detectors
c) Discriminator
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Coherent demodulation of FSK signal can be performed using matched filter.

5. The use of non uniform quantization leads to
a) Reduction in transmission bandwidth
b) Increase in maximum SNR
c) Increase in SNR for low level signals
d) Simplification of quantization process
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The use of non uniform quantization leads to increase in SNR for low level signals.

6. Which of the following requires a synchronizing signal?
a) Single channel PPM system
b) PAM
c) DM
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: PAM requires a synchronizing signal.

7. A PWM signal can be generated by

8. TDM is less immune to cross-talk in channel than FDM.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: False because different message signals are not applied to the channel simultaneously.

9. In an ideal TDM system, the cross correlation between two users of the system is
a) 1
b) 0
c) Infinity
d) -1
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In an ideal TDM system, the cross correlation between two users of the system is 0.

10. TDM requires
a) Constant data transmission
b) Transmission of data samples
c) Transmission of data at random
d) Transmission of data of only one measured
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: TDM requires transmission of data samples.
