E4A01

Which of the following limits the highest frequency signal that can be accurately displayed on a digital oscilloscope?

  1. A Sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter
  2. B Analog-to-digital converter reference frequency
  3. C Q of the circuit
  4. D All these choices are correct
E4A02

Which of the following parameters does a spectrum analyzer display on the vertical and horizontal axes?

  1. A Signal amplitude and time
  2. B Signal amplitude and frequency
  3. C SWR and frequency
  4. D SWR and time
E4A03

Which of the following test instruments is used to display spurious signals and/or intermodulation distortion products generated by an SSB transmitter?

  1. A Differential resolver
  2. B Spectrum analyzer
  3. C Logic analyzer
  4. D Network analyzer
E4A04

How is compensation of an oscilloscope probe performed?

  1. A A square wave is displayed, and the probe is adjusted until the horizontal portions of the displayed wave are as nearly flat as possible
  2. B A high frequency sine wave is displayed, and the probe is adjusted for maximum amplitude
  3. C A frequency standard is displayed, and the probe is adjusted until the deflection time is accurate
  4. D A DC voltage standard is displayed, and the probe is adjusted until the displayed voltage is accurate
E4A05

What is the purpose of using a prescaler with a frequency counter?

  1. A Amplify low-level signals for more accurate counting
  2. B Multiply a higher frequency signal so a low-frequency counter can display the operating frequency
  3. C Prevent oscillation in a low-frequency counter circuit
  4. D Reduce the signal frequency to within the counter's operating range
E4A06

What is the effect of aliasing on a digital oscilloscope when displaying a waveform?

  1. A A false, jittery low-frequency version of the waveform is displayed
  2. B The waveform DC offset will be inaccurate
  3. C Calibration of the vertical scale is no longer valid
  4. D Excessive blanking occurs, which prevents display of the waveform
E4A07

Which of the following is an advantage of using an antenna analyzer compared to an SWR bridge?

  1. A Antenna analyzers automatically tune your antenna for resonance
  2. B Antenna analyzers compute SWR and impedance automatically
  3. C Antenna analyzers display a time-varying representation of the modulation envelope
  4. D All these choices are correct
E4A08

Which of the following is used to measure SWR?

  1. A Directional wattmeter
  2. B Vector network analyzer
  3. C Antenna analyzer
  4. D All these choices are correct
E4A09

Which of the following is good practice when using an oscilloscope probe?

  1. A Minimize the length of the probe's ground connection
  2. B Never use a high-impedance probe to measure a low-impedance circuit
  3. C Never use a DC-coupled probe to measure an AC circuit
  4. D All these choices are correct
E4A10

Which trigger mode is most effective when using an oscilloscope to measure a linear power supply's output ripple?

  1. A Single-shot
  2. B Edge
  3. C Level
  4. D Line
E4A11

Which of the following can be measured with an antenna analyzer?
