(a) Scattering
(b) Dispersion
(c) Attenuation
(d) Intersymbol Interference

Answers

1. (a)

3. (c) 

4. (a) The ideal op-amp has the following characteristics:
  • Input impedance (Differential or Common-mode) Rin = Infinity
  • Output impedance (open loop) R0= 0
  • Gain A = Infinity
  • Infinite Bandwidth
  • Common-mode voltage gain = 0
  • Vout = 0 when both inputs are at the same voltage, i.e. (zero "offset voltage")
5. (b) Quartz is used in watches as it acts as a piezoelectric oscillator.

6. (c) The fastest type of Analog to Digital converter is the Flash type/Parallel comparator type.

7. (a)

8. (b) Vout = A x Vin

9. (b) DSB -SC is a form of Amplitude modulation where only the sidebands are transmitted and the carrier is suppressed. The advantage is 66% power saving compared to conventional AM. 

10. (d) Inter-symbol Interference: This is the effect of dispersion on optical fibre. Intersymbol interference occurs when the pulse spreading caused by dispersion causes the output pulses of a system to overlap.
