1. Microwave links are preferred for TV transmission because ?

they produce less phase distortion

easy to transmit

there is small S/N ratio

there is no impulse noise

Answer: easy to transmit

Explanation:


2. Microwave frequencies are used for communication with deep space probes primarily because they do not suffer ?

attenuation in space

fading

velocity distortion and phase distortion

refraction by ionosphere

Answer: refraction by ionosphere

Explanation:


3. Microwave links are generally transmission because preferred to coaxial cable for TV ?

they are cheaper

of their greater bandwidth

of their relative immunity to impulse noise

they have less overall phase distortion

Answer: they are cheaper

Explanation:


4. The main difference between the operation of transmission lines and waveguides is that ?

terms such as impedance notching and standing wave ratio cannot be applied to waveguides

transmission lines use the principal mode of propagation and therefore, do not suffer from low frequency cut-off

the former can use stubs and quarter wave transformers unlike the latter

the latter are not distributed like transmission lines

Answer: transmission lines use the principal mode of propagation and therefore, do not suffer from low frequency cut-off

Explanation:
