  • (B) backward error correction codes
  • (C) error detection codes
  • (D) none of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) forward error correction codes

Explanation: turbo codes are a class of high performance forward error correction codes.

Q. Components used for generation of turbo codes are

  • (A) inter leavers
  • (B) punching pattern
  • (C) inter leavers & punching pattern
  • (D) none of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) inter leavers & punching pattern

Explanation: there are many instances of turbo codes, using different component encoders, input/output ratios, inter leavers, punching patterns.

Q. Decoders are connected in series.

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

Explanation: two elementary decoders are

Q. The inter leaver connected between the two decoders is used to

  • (A) remove error bursts
  • (B) scatter error bursts
  • (C) add error bursts
  • (D) none of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) scatter error bursts

Explanation: an inter leaver installed between the two decoders connected in series is used to scatter error bursts.

Q. In soft decision approach what does -127 mean?

  • (A) certainly one
  • (B) certainly zero
  • (C) very likely zero
  • (D) very likely one
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) certainly zero

Explanation: the decoder front end produces an integer for each bit in the data stream. this integer is the measure of how likely it is that the bit 0 or 1 and is called as soft bit. it ranges from -127 to 127. here -127 represents certainly zero.

Q. In soft decision approach 100 means?

  • (A) certainly one
  • (B) certainly zero
  • (C) very likely zero
  • (D) very likely one
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) very likely one

Explanation: the decoder front end produces an integer for each bit in the data stream. this integer is the measure of how likely it is that the bit 0 or 1 and is called as soft bit. it ranges from -127 to 127. here 100 represents very likely one.

Q. In soft decision approach 0 represents

  • (A) certainly one
  • (B) certainly zero
  • (C) very likely zero
  • (D) could be either zero or one
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) could be either zero or one

Explanation: the decoder front end produces an integer for each bit in the data stream. this integer is the measure of how likely it is that the bit 0 or 1 and is called as soft bit. it ranges from -127 to 127. here 0 represents ‘could be either zero or one’.

Q. Block codes can achieve a larger coding gain than convolution coding.

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

Explanation: convolution code can achieve a larger coding gain that can be achieved using a block coding with the same complexity.

Q. Which of the following indicates the number of input bits that the current output is dependent upon?

  • (A) constraint length
  • (B) code length
  • (C) search window
  • (D) information rate
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) constraint length

Explanation: constraint length determines the number of input data bits that the current output is dependent upon. the constraint length determines how powerful and complex the code is.

Q. Which of the following is not a way to represent convolution code?

  • (A) state diagram
  • (B) trellis diagram
  • (C) tree diagram
  • (D) linear matrix
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) linear matrix

Explanation: linear matrix is not a way to represent convolution code. various ways of representing convolution codes are generator matrix, generator polynomial, logic tables, state diagram, tree diagram and trellis diagram.
