SSB transmissions
  • occupy about twice the bandwidth of AM transmissions
  • contain more information than AM transmissions
  • Correct Answer

The purpose of a balanced modulator in a SSB transmitter is to
  • make sure that the carrier and both sidebands are in phase
  • make sure that the carrier and both sidebands are 180 degrees out of phase
  • ensure that the percentage of modulation is kept constant
  • Correct Answer
    suppress the carrier while producing two sidebands

Several stations advise that your FM simplex transmission in the "two metre" band is distorted. The cause might be that
  • Correct Answer
    the transmitter modulation deviation is too high
  • your antenna is too low
  • the transmitter has become unsynchronised
  • your transmitter frequency split is incorrect

The purpose of the final amplifier in a transmitter is to
  • increase the frequency of a signal
  • isolate the multiplier and later stages
  • produce a stable radio frequency
  • Correct Answer
    increase the power fed to the antenna

The difference between DC input power and RF power output of a transmitter RF amplifier
  • radiates from the antenna
  • Correct Answer
    is dissipated as heat
  • is lost in the feedline
  • is due to oscillating current

The process of modulation allows
  • Correct Answer
    information to be impressed on to a carrier
  • information to be removed from a carrier
  • voice and Morse code to be combined
  • none of these
