2. 2 Topic 3 - Modems The following MCQs are for use in the Modem lab/ tutorial
More than one answer may be correct
3. 3 1. Wav files: Are use to store video files on PCs
Are standard files for audio in Windows
Are used for polyphonic tunes in mobiles
Are a common file format used for UNIX
4. 4 2. Typical Sampling Rates used for .wav files are: 10 MHz
44.1 KHz
11.025 KHz
8 kHz
5. 5 3. Microsoft call files sampled at 22.05 KHz : Radio quality
CD quality
Telephone quality
Speech quality
Hint: use the sampling theorem to get the max frequency
6. 6 4. The speech band on the telephone system is normally quoted as: 100 to 4000Hz
300 to 4000 Hz
0 to 8000 Hz
300 to 3400 Hz
7. 7 5. The resolution typically used for speech is: 8-bits
16-bit
64-bit
32-bit
8. 8 6. The last part of the telephone system is : called the local loop
analogue
digital
usually optical fibre
9. 9 7. A .wav file is sampled at 8 kHz with 8-bit resolution. The data rate required to reproduce it is: 8 kbps
64 kBytes/sec
64 kbps
8 kBytes/sec
kbps = kilo bits per second
10. 10 8. Digital signals cannot be used directly on a telephone system because: It is against the law
The speech band has insufficient bandwidth
Digital signals involve DC voltages
The system was designed for speech not data
11. 11 9. A 1 kHz square wave has harmonic components at : 1 kHz 2kHz 3kHz 4 kHz etc
1 kHz 3kHz 5 kHz etc
0.5 kHz 1 kHz 2kHz 3kHz 4 kHz etc
1 kHz 10 kHz 100 kHz etc
12. 12 10. Modem is short for: Modern Demon
Modular demodulator
Modern Emulator
Modulator-demodulator
13. 13 11. A voice modem : Digitises voice
Allows either ordinary telephone activity or data activity
Cannot be used for data
Cannot use data compression
14. 14 12. MP3: uses perceptual audio coding and psychoacoustic compression
Shrinks sound data by a factor of 10
Uses a codec
Was devised by the Moving Picture Experts Group
15. 15 13. MP3 files: Are still digital and require a modem
Cannot be read by Windows utilities
Contain tags relating to the content
Can contain viruses
16. 16 14. Unicode: Is a way of representing characters by numbers
Uses 8-bits to represent characters
Can only handle European languages
Uses 16-bits per character
17. 17 15. ASCII: Was invented by IBM
Uses 7 or 8 bits to represent characters
Is never used on the Internet
Is a subset of Unicode
18. 18 16. 8-bit ASCII characters are sent over a network: Only the 8-bits need to be transmitted
Start and Stop bits are needed
Only Start bits are needed
The transmission cannot be inactive
19. 19 17. ADSL is installed on your phone line: The original telephone handset must be replaced by a digital one
The bandwidth of your telephone line is much larger
Digital signals can be sent without modulation
The telephone bandwidth is increased for clearer calls
20. 20 18. ADSL: Has no requirement for a modem
Requires a clever modem which now works with many effective audio bands
Has equal upload and download speeds
Uses Frequency Modulation
21. 21 19. Video Conferencing: Has no requirement for data compression
Uses the same codec for audio and video
Requires audio and video codecs
Requires both ends of the conference to have the same codecs
22. 22 20. Cable systems : Don’t need a modem
Can’t work at data rates above 1 Mbps
Use similar modulation techniques to ADSL
Are fundamentally analog
