Time: 2 hours Maximum Marks: 70
Note: Attempt any five questions. Question no. 1 is compulsory. Each question carries equal marks.
1. Choose the correct answer. 7x2=14

In the communication system, noise is most likely to affect the signal

at the transmitter

in the channel

in the information source

at the destination

The modulation index of an AM wave is changed from 0 to 1. The transmitted power will be

unchanged

halved

doubled

increased by 50 percent

For the transmission-line load matching over a range of frequencies, it is best to use a

balun

broadband directional coupler

double stub

single stub of adjustable position

To couple a coaxial line to a parallel-wire line, it is best to use a

slotted line

balun

directional coupler

quarter-wave transformer

One of the following is not an omnidirectional antenna:

Half-wave dipole

Log-periodic

Discone

Marconi

Frequencies in the UHF range normally propagate by means of

ground waves

sky waves

surface waves

space waves

When electromagnetic waves travel in free space, only one of the following can happen to them

Absorption

Attenuation

Refraction

Reflection
