a) 10
b) 12
c) 15
d) 18
View Answer
Explanation: Each satellite has 12 transponders with a bandwidth of 36 Mhz each.
11. The preamble consists of
a) Synchronization
b) Addressing
c) Error control sequence
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The preamble portion consists of synchronization, addressing and error control sequences.
12. Which method is efficient?
a) Fixed assignment
b) Dynamic allocation
c) Fixed assignment & Dynamic allocation
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Dynamic allocation method is more efficient than fixed assignment as any slot won’t be wasted unnecessarily.
13. Which has a lesser average packet delay?
a) FDMA
b) TDMA
c) Dynamic FDMA
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Both TDMA and FDMA has equivalent performance but when it comes to average packet delay TDMA has lesser delay than FDMA.
