    a. 250%
    b. 40%
    c. 25%
    d. 37.5%


7. A transmitter having a 900-W carrier transmits 1188 W when modulated with a single sinewave. If the carrier is simultaneously modulated with another sinewave at 60% modulation, calculate the total transmitted power.

    a. 1084 W
    b. 1170 W
    c. 1350 W
    d. 1224 W

8. Low-level modulation is

    a. The most economic approach for low-power transmitters.
    b. Characterized by the use of "linear" power amplifiers to amplify the AM        signal.
    c. Characterized by having the carrier and the intelligence signals mix at low        power levels
    d. All the above.

9. The main advantage of a high-level modulation system compared to a low-level    system is that it

    a. Allows more efficient amplification.
    b. Allows use of low-powered intelligence signal.
    c. Provides higher modulation percentage.
    d. Is more economical.

10. What is the purpose of a buffer amplifier stage in a transmitter?
 
    a. It prevents transmitters from producing spurious frequencies in the output        signals.
    b. It provides power amplification with high efficiency.
    c. Its high input impedance prevents oscillators from drifting off frequency.
    d. It amplifies audio frequencies before modulation occurs.

11. The purpose of an antenna coupler is to
 
     a. Match the output impedance of the transmitter with the antenna's impedance to provide maximum
        power transfer.
     b. Allow the transmitter to be connected to several antennas at the same time.
     c. Filter out the carrier frequency from the transmitter's AM output signal.
     d. Cause the transmitter to operate at more than one carrier frequency at the         same time.

12. The main reason for using a dummy antenna is to
 
     a. Prevent damage to output circuits.
     b. Minimize damage to the regular antenna.
     c. Prevent overmodulation.
     d. Prevent undesired transmissions.

13. A spectrum analyzer is

     a. An instrument that displays amplitude versus frequency on a CRT.
     b. Often used to determine if a transmitter's output signal is free from any         spurious signals.
     c. Can be thought of as a radio receiver with broad frequency range.
     d. All the above.


14.The strategy for repair of electronic equipment includes the following.
 
     a. Verify that a problem exists.
     b. Isolate the defective stage.
     c. Isolate the defective component.
