Some types of traps used in video IF amplifier of colour TV are

Answer» All these are used.
309.

Direct and reflected sound waves may interfere with each other.

Answer» PAS use moving coil microphones.
310.

A carrier is simultaneously modulated by two sine waves having modulation indices of 0.4 and 0.3. The total modulation index will be

Answer» m1 = 0.4, m2 = 0.3 .
311.

In standing wave pattern on a transmission line

Answer» When standing wave is set up voltage maxima and current minima and voltage minima and current maxima coincide.
312.

An earth mat for a communication tower consists of

Answer» The number of radials is large and depth is about 30 cm.
313.

Degaussing in a picture tube means

Answer» Since gauss is a unit of magnetic flux, degaussing means removal of magnetism.
314.

If the bandwidth is increased by 2, the γ γ (where γ is the ratio of SNR of output to SNR at input, FM is frequency modulation and AM is amplitude modulation) is increased by a factor of

Answer» Doubling of frequency increase SNR in frequency modulation by 4. It has no effect in AM.
315.

In the figure , the output () will be

Answer»
316.

A carrier wave carries information.

Answer» Carrier does not have any information.
317.

Frequency shift keying is used mostly in

Answer» Frequency shift keying (FSK) is a system of frequency modulation used in telegraphy.
318.

In radar systems PRF stands for

Answer» PRF in radar systems means pulse repetition frequency.
319.

Signal to noise ratio of microphone is defined as the ratio of output when the sound pressure is __________ to the output in the absence of any sound signal.

Answer» 0.1 Pa (= 0.5 x 10-4 W/m2) is taken as standard sound pressure for defining S/N ratio of microphones.
320.

A telephone exchange has 9000 subscribers. If the number of calls originating at peak time is 10, 000 in one hour, the calling rate is

Answer» Calling rate is the number of calls per subscriber.
321.

If C is capacity of noisy channel, (bits/s), δ is bandwidth Hz and S/N is signal to noise ratio, then

Answer» This is Shannon-Hartley theorem.
322.

() and () are used to generate an FM signal. If the peak frequency deviation of the generated FM signal is three times the transmission bandwidth of the AM signal, then the coefficient of the term cos [2(1008 x 10)] in the FM signal (in terms of the Bessel Coefficients) is

Answer» As, we known FM, s(t) Frequency deviation = 3 . (AM Bandwidth) = 6 fm and β= 6 is given in (d) only. ωc + n ωm = (1008 x 103)2p 2p x 106 + n. 4p x 103 = (1008 x 103).2p n = 4 So, β = 6, n = 4 hence answer is 5j4(6).
