E2B01

In digital television, what does a coding rate of 3/4 mean?

  1. A 25% of the data sent is forward error correction data
  2. B Data compression reduces data rate by 3/4
  3. C 1/4 of the time interval is used as a guard interval
  4. D Three, four-bit words are used to transmit each pixel
E2B02

How many horizontal lines make up a fast-scan (NTSC) television frame?

  1. A 30
  2. B 60
  3. C 525
  4. D 1080
E2B03

How is an interlaced scanning pattern generated in a fast-scan (NTSC) television system?

  1. A By scanning two fields simultaneously
  2. B By scanning each field from bottom-to-top
  3. C By scanning lines from left-to-right in one field and right-to-left in the next
  4. D By scanning odd-numbered lines in one field and even-numbered lines in the next
E2B04

How is color information sent in analog SSTV?

  1. A Color lines are sent sequentially
  2. B Color information is sent on a 2.8 kHz subcarrier
  3. C Color is sent in a color burst at the end of each line
  4. D Color is amplitude modulated on the frequency modulated intensity signal
E2B05

Which of the following describes the use of vestigial sideband in analog fast-scan TV transmissions?

  1. A The vestigial sideband carries the audio information
  2. B The vestigial sideband contains chroma information
  3. C Vestigial sideband reduces the bandwidth while increasing the fidelity of low frequency video components
  4. D Vestigial sideband provides high frequency emphasis to sharpen the picture
E2B06

What is vestigial sideband modulation?

  1. A Amplitude modulation in which one complete sideband and a portion of the other are transmitted
  2. B A type of modulation in which one sideband is inverted
  3. C Narrow-band FM modulation achieved by filtering one sideband from the audio before frequency modulating the carrier
  4. D Spread spectrum modulation achieved by applying FM modulation following single sideband amplitude modulation
E2B07

Which types of modulation are used for amateur television DVB-T signals?

  1. A FM and FSK
  2. B QAM and QPSK
  3. C AM and OOK
  4. D All these choices are correct
E2B08

What technique allows commercial analog TV receivers to be used for fast-scan TV operations on the 70-centimeter band?

  1. A Transmitting on channels shared with cable TV
  2. B Using converted satellite TV dishes
  3. C Transmitting on the abandoned TV channel 2
  4. D Using USB and demodulating the signal with a computer sound card
E2B09

What kind of receiver can be used to receive and decode SSTV using the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) protocol?

  1. A CDMA
  2. B AREDN
  3. C AM
  4. D SSB
E2B10

What aspect of an analog slow-scan television signal encodes the brightness of the picture?

  1. A Tone frequency
  2. B Tone amplitude
  3. C Sync amplitude
  4. D Sync frequency
E2B11

What is the function of the vertical interval signaling (VIS) code sent as part of an SSTV transmission?

  1. A To lock the color burst oscillator in color SSTV images
  2. B To identify the SSTV mode being used
  3. C To provide vertical synchronization
  4. D To identify the call sign of the station transmitting
E2B12

What signals SSTV receiving software to begin a new picture line?

  1. A Specific tone frequencies
  2. B Elapsed time
  3. C Specific tone amplitudes
  4. D A two-tone signal
