  4. c. with FSK (frequency shift keying), binary data is represented by changes in the frequency of the sinusoidal carrier wave
  5. d. with PSK (phase shift keying), binary data is represented by changes in the phase angle of the sinusoidal carrier wave

QUESTION 2

  1. Hartley's Law represents the relationship between a signals symbol rate (baud rate) and data rate, given the number of levels (M) that a single symbol can take on.
  2.  True
  3.  False

QUESTION 3

  1. Select the correct statement(s) regarding the relationship between symbol rate (baud rate) and data rate.
  2. a. an electrical symbol where M=4, tells you that the symbol can be one of four different values
  3. b. there is always a one-to-one relationship between baud and data rate; therefore, a symbol that can be one of four values (e.g., M=4, where M{ -2.5v, -1v, +1v, +2.5v}) always means that baud rate will equal data rate
  4. c. when M=1, baud rate equals data rate
  5. d. all of the above are correct

  3.  False

QUESTION 6

  1. When using ASK, FSK or PSK techniques, how can we increase data rate?
  2. a. by decreasing M and increasing baud rate
  3. b. Hartley's Law tells us that baud rate will always equal data rate when using ASK, FSK or PSK
  4. c. by increasing M, we can increase the data rate when compared to the baud rate
  5. d. by increasing M, we can increase the baud rate when compared to the data rate

QUESTION 7

  1. Line coding (i.e., binary data coded in to an electrical signal) produces a baseband signal, whereas ASK, FSK and PSK techniques create a "passband" signal.

  3.  False

QUESTION 8

  1. In selecting a line coding technique, we need to consider the need for receive clock synchronization, and how much frequency bandwidth is occupied by the resulting signal. What is true about the Manchester line coding technique.
  2. a. Manchester occupies less frequency spectrum (i.e., frequency bandwidth), than simpler line coding techniques such as NRZ
  3. b. Manchester ensures signal transitions for each bit sent, thus helping to ensure receive clock synchronization; however, it occupies twice the frequency bandwidth compared to NRZ
  4. c. Manchester ensures greater receive clock synchronization and efficient bandwidth usage compared to NRZ
  5. d. there are no true statements listed above

QUESTION 9

  1. 4B5B differs from line coding techniques in that is ensures that strings of consecutive "1s" and "0s" do not exist prior to being line coded. Select the correct statement(s) regarding 4B5B.
  2. a. since 4B5B eliminates long string of logical "1s" and "0s", simpler line coding techniques such as NRZ can be used.
  3. b. since one bit out of every five bits sent is not real information, the data link suffers from a 1/5 or 20% overhead cost (i.e., reduction in data throughput)
  4. c. only 80% of the data sent using 4B5B is real information
  5. d. all of the above are correct statements
