Question No. 1
Scenario: You are a radio technician in “TBN Broadcast” and you are tasked with calibrating a
newly installed radio transmitter. The transmitter emits electromagnetic waves with a wavelength
of 3 meters. However, the frequency needs adjustment to ensure optimal broadcasting.
Assignment Task: Calculate the frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the
transmitter. Show your calculation process and provide the final frequency value with
appropriate unit.
Answer: To calculate the frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter, we
can use the formula:
c
Frequency=
λ
Where:
c is the speed of light in a vacuum (3 X 108meters per second)
λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves
Given that the wavelength λ=3 meters, we can plug this into the formula:
8
3 X 10
Frequency = = 108 Hz
3
So, the frequency of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter is 100 MHz
Question No. 2
Given below is a partial snapshot of NRZ-L encoding scheme in which signal is complete but
relevant bit values are missing.
You need to analyze this encoding scheme and provide the missing bit values in the given table:
Missing Bit No. 1 2 3 4 5 6
Bit Value
Answer: To fill in the missing bit values, we need to understand the encoding scheme. In NRZ-L
encoding:
A high level represents a binary '1'.
A low level represents a binary '0'.
Looking at the given partial snapshot, we can infer the following:
Bit 1 is represented by a high level, so it's '1'.
Bit 3 is represented by a low level, so it's '0'.
Bit 5 is represented by a high level, so it's '1'.
Now, let's look at the transitions between consecutive bits to determine the missing values:
For Bit 2, there's a transition from low to high, which indicates a change from '0' to '1'.
For Bit 4, there's a transition from high to low, which indicates a change from '1' to '0'.
For Bit 6, there's a transition from low to high, which indicates a change from '0' to '1'.
So, the filled table would be:
Missing Bit No. 1 2 3 4 5 6
Bit Value 1 1 0 1 1 1
