8. Greater the redundancy lesser is the bandwidth expansion.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Within the same block size, the code with greater redundancy requires more bandwidth expansion.

9. Which modulation scheme uses nonlinear transponders?
a) MSK
b) Offset QPSK
c) MSK & Offset QPSK
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Offset QPSK and MSK are two examples of constant envelope modulation schemes that are attractive for systems using non linear transponders.

10. Which modulation requires more bandwidth?
a) QPSK
b) OQPSK
c) BPSK
d) BFSK
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: BPSK requires more bandwidth than the other modulation techniques for the given level of spectral density.

11. Which modulation has lower side lobe levels?
a) QPSK
b) OQPSK
c) BPSK
d) MSK
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: MSK spectrum has wider main lobe level and lower side lobe levels than the other modulation spectrum.

12. Which modulation is spectrally more efficient?
a) BPSK
b) MSK
c) QPSK
d) OQPSK
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: MSK is spectrally more efficient than the other modulation schemes. It has wider main lobe level and lower side lobe levels.

13. Which modulation spectrum has narrow main lobe?
a) QPSK
b) OQPSK
c) BPSK
d) MSK
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: QPSK has narrower main lobe than MSK because for a given rate the QPSK symbol rate is half the MSK symbol rate.

14. Which technique can be used for bandwidth reduction?
a) BPSK
b) QPSK
c) MPSK
d) MFSK
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Coherent M-ary PSK modulation is a well known technique for achieving bandwidth reduction.

15. QPSK amplitude modulates
a) Sine function
b) Cosine function
c) Sine & Cosine function
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: QPSK modulation consists of two independent streams. One stream amplitude modulates cosine wave and the other amplitude modulates sine wave.

16. QAM is a combination of
a) ASK and FSK
b) ASK and PSK
c) PSK and FSK
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: QAM is a combination of both ASK and PSK and is also called as amplitude phase keying.
