Q

Describe two ways in which analog and digital signals are boosted

A

amplifier-Analog signals pass through an amplifier, an electronic device that increases the voltage,
● or strength, of the signals. Unfortunately, the boost can also boost the noise that has accumulated in the signal, which causes the analog signal to worsen progressively. After multiple amplifications, an analog signal may become difficult to decipher. ​repeater-Recall that a repeater is a device that regenerates a digital signal in its original form,
● without the noise it might have previously accumulated. A switch on an Ethernet network works as a multiport repeater as the bits transmitted “start over” at each port on the switch.

57
Q

Explain what a TDR is, and describe how it is used.​

A

Explain what a TDR is, and describe how it is used.​

58
Q

Define how phase affects an analog signal

A

Phase is the progress of a wave over time in relationship to a fixed point. Suppose two separate waves have identical amplitudes and frequencies. If one wave starts at its lowest amplitude at the same time the second wave starts at its highest amplitude, these waves will have different phases. More precisely, they will be 180 degrees out of phase (using the standard assignment of 360 degrees to one complete wave). Had the second wave also started at its lowest amplitude, the two waves would be in phase.

59
Q

How does a digital signal compare to an analog signal?​

A

Digital signals are composed of pulses of precise, positive voltages and zero voltages. There’s nothing infinite or continuous about a digital signal because it is inherently either on or off. A pulse of positive voltage represents a 1. A pulse of zero voltage (in other words, the lack of any voltage) represents a 0. The use of 1s and 0s to represent information is characteristic of a binary system. Every pulse in the digital signal is a binary digit, or bit. An analog signal, on the other hand, such as the sound of the human voice or music, has an infinite number of tones and subtle inflections. When digitizing sound, the higher the sampling rate, the more accurate the representation of the analog signals. For example, the sampling rate for digitized voice, such as that used by iPhone’ s Siri, is much lower than the sampling rate used for music albums.​

60
Q

What is modulation? Provide two examples of how it can be used.

A

Data modulation is a technology used to modify analog signals to make them suitable for carrying data over a communication path. In modulation , a simple wave, called a carrier wave, is combined with another analog signal, known as the information or data wave, to produce a unique signal that gets transmitted from one node to another. The carrier wave has preset properties (including frequency, amplitude, and phase). Its purpose is to help convey information; in other words, it’ s only a messenger. When the information wave is added, it modifies one property of the carrier wave (for
example, the frequency, amplitude, or phase). The result is a new, blended signal that contains properties of both the carrier wave and added data. When the signal reaches its destination, the receiver separates the data from the carrier wave. The data is sent on its way to the computer once again as 0s and 1s.​

Modulation can be used to make a signal conform to a specific pathway, as in the case of FM (frequency modulation) radio, in which the data must travel along a particular frequency. In frequency modulation, the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal. In AM (amplitude modulation), the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal. Modulation may also be used to issue multiple signals to the same communications channel and prevent the signals from interfering with one another.

limitations of fiber-optic cabling?

Q

Why is SMF more efficient over long distances than MMF?

A

Answer: The core of SMF is much narrower than that of MMF, and reflects very little. The light
does not disperse as much along the fiber.

77
Q

Why do APC ferrules create less back reflection than do UPC ferrules?

A

Answer: The end faces are placed at an angle to each other, so the reflection is sent back in a
different direction than the source of the signal
