Q. In US AMPS, 416 channels are allocated to various operators with 10 kHz guard band and channel between them is 30 kHz. What is the spectrum allocation given to each operator?

  • (A) 12.5 khz
  • (B) 30 khz
  • (C) 12.5 mhz
  • (D) 30 mhz
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) 12.5 mhz

Explanation: spectrum allocated to each cellular operator is 12.5 mhz. as bt = nbc + 2bguard; which is equal to 416*30*103+2(10*103) = 12.5 mhz.

Q. TDMA systems transmit in a continuous way.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: tdma systems transmit data in a buffer and burst method. thus, the transmission for any user is not continuous.

Q. are utilized to allow synchronization of the receivers between different slots and frames.

  • (A) preamble
  • (B) data
  • (C) guard bits
  • (D) trail bits
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) guard bits

Explanation: guard times are utilized to allow synchronization of the receivers between different slots and frames.

Q. Which of the following is not true for TDMA?

  • (A) single carrier frequency for single user
  • (B) discontinuous data transmission
  • (C) no requirement of duplexers
  • (D) high transmission rates
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) single carrier frequency for single user

Explanation: tdma share a single carrier frequency with several users, where each user makes use of non-overlapping time slots. the number of time slots per frame depends on several factors, such as modulation technique, available bandwidth etc.

Q. Because of transmissions in TDMA, the handoff process in

  • (A) continuous, complex
  • (B) continuous, simple
  • (C) discontinuous, complex
  • (D) discontinuous, simple
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) discontinuous, simple

Explanation: because of discontinuous transmissions in tdma, the handoff process is much simpler for a subscriber unit, since it is able to listen for other base stations during idle time slots.

Q. synchronization overhead is required in TDMA due to transmission.

  • (A) high, burst
  • (B) high, continuous
  • (C) low, burst
  • (D) no, burst
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) high, burst

Explanation: high synchronization overhead is required in tdma systems because of burst transmissions. tdma transmissions are slotted, and this requires the receivers to be synchronized for each data burst.

Q. TDMA allocates a single time per frame to different users.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: tdma has an advantage that it can allocate different numbers of time slots per frame to different users. thus, bandwidth can be supplied on demand to different users by concatenating or reassigning time slots based on priority.

Q. of TDMA system is a measure of the percentage of transmitted data that contains information as opposed to providing overhead for the access scheme.

  • (A) efficiency
  • (B) figure of merit
  • (C) signal to noise ratio
  • (D) mean
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) efficiency

Explanation: efficiency of tdma system is a measure of the percentage of transmitted data that contains information as opposed to providing overhead for the access scheme.

Q. What is the time duration of a bit if data is transmitted at 270.833 kbps in the channel?

  • (A) 270.833 s
  • (B) 3 μs
  • (C) 3.692 μs
  • (D) 3.692 s
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) 3.692 μs

Explanation: if data is transmitted at 270.833 kbps in the channel, the time duration of a bit will be 3.692 μs, as tb = (1/270.833 kbps) = 3.692 μs.

Q. US digital cellular system based on CDMA was standardized as

  • (A) is-54
  • (B) is-136
  • (C) is-95
  • (D) is-76
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) is-95

Explanation: a us digital cellular system based on cdma was standardized as interim standard 95 (is-95). it was standardized by us telecommunication industry association (tia) and promised increased capacity.
