7-A-009: Modulation-Demodulation, AM & FM

7-9B1: What statement best describes modulation?

Imposing intelligence onto a radio carrier signal.

Changing mark-space to 1 and 0.

Adjusting the frequency to the optimum band for long distance communications.

Converting the carrier from a low frequency to a higher frequency.



7-9B2: What statement best describes demodulation?

Extracting intelligence from the radio carrier signal.

Detuning the receiver to remove interfering signals.

Removing atmospheric noise from the signal.

Separating the TELEX signals from the voice signals.



7-9B3: Which statement best describes amplitude modulation?

The amplitudes in the sideband(s) changes but the radio carrier frequency remains constant.

The character data from the terminal is changed to audio tones.

The frequency is varied in synchronization with the modulating signal.

The amplitude of the carrier is changed but there is still only a single frequency being transmitted.



7-9B4: What is the emission designation for MF-HF voice signals?

J3E

F1B

J2B

F3E



7-9B5: Which statement best describes frequency modulation?

The information signal changes the radio frequency but the amplitude remains constant.

Both amplitude and frequency are changed by the modulating signal.

Frequency modulation is subject to interference by atmospheric noise.

High level mixing of the final amplifier signal and the information signal.



7-9B6: What is the emission designation for VHF-FM?

F3E

F3C

J2B

H3E
