52
Q

Which parameter is changed to affect the tone a carrier wave

A

Amplitude or loudness

53
Q

Allowing the instantaneous carrier amplitude to be controlled by the characteristics of the modulating signal is what

A

AM

54
Q

When the modulating signal is applied in the AM process, what are the new frequencies generated called

A

Sidebands

55
Q

If the carrier wave is modulated with more than one audio frequency in the AM process, the composite AM waveform would be what

A

A composite waveform that is the sum of all the modulating frequencies and the carrier frequency

56
Q

How would you best describe the key phenonmenon for single sideband trasmission

A

Both upper and lower sidebands are mirror images carrying the same information

57
Q

What statement would best describe frequency modulation

A

The frequency of the carrier wave is varied by amplitude and frequency of the modulating signal/ amplitude will remain constant and will not convey information

58
Q

In the FM process, what does the stronger or louder modulating wave cause

A

The stronger or louder modulating wave causes a larger deviation in the carrier wave above and below its rest frequency

59
Q

Compare the bandwidth of the frequency modulated wave to that of the amplitude modulate wave

A

FM requires a much greater bandwidth than AM

60
Q

How is pulse modulation best described

A

PM involves turning an RF transmitter on for a short period of time and off for a long period of time.

The pulse duration and amplitude remain constant while the position in time is allowed to vary.

61
Q

Describe Frequency Modulated On Pulse FMOP

A

Frequency is made to increase or decrease along the length of the transmitted pulse

62
Q

Describe Pulse Modulation On Pulse PMOP

A

The phase of the frequency is made to vary along the length of the pulse

63
Q

What is modulation?

A

The characteristics of an RF signal must be changed in order to transmit information on the signal

64
Q

What is a continuous wave CW

A

Emits EM radiation at all times and cannot measure range because there is no basis for measurement of the time delay. Measure instantaneous range rate and maintain continuous contact w/ target

65
Q

What is single sideband transmission and what is advantage?

A

With upper and lower sidebands mirroring, each carries the same intel contained in modulating wave. So intel may be sent by transmitting only carrier and one set of sidebands, upper or lower.

Advantage is that all transmitter’s energy can be put into a carrier and one sideband rather than spreading power over both.

66
Q

The amount of deviation in the FM process is determined by what

A

The loudness (amplitude) of the modulating signal. The stronger or louder the modulating wave becomes, the greater the output frequency deviates above rest frequency.

67
Q

What is the rate of deviation during the FM process is determined by what

A

Pitch (frequency) of the modulating wave (determines rate the carrier swings through a deviation cycle

68
Q

What is the primary advantage of FM over AM?

A

in FM, the amplitude of the carrier does not convey intelligence, therefore the intelligence is not distorted by noise. (Noise amplitude-modulates EM energy)

69
Q

As PD gets shorter, BW must…

A

increase

70
Q

What is Telemetry

A

a digital data communication signal transmitted by a missile, detailing the performance of the missile and onboard systems.

71
Q

What are characteristics of Pulse Modulation

A

Consists of turning on an RF transmitter for very short time, and leaving it off for long time.

72
Q

What is the purpose of an antenna

A

Provides necessary coupling between the radar set and free space

73
Q

The lower the frequency, the blank antenna

A larger antenna is desirable for achieving good blank

A

Larger / angular resolution

74
Q

What are 4 advantages of the phased array radar

A
  1. beam may be rapidly scanned over coverage of antenna without moving the antenna structure.
  2. Array has ability to generate many independent beams at same time.
  3. Large peak/average powers, thus high effective radiating powers, may be obtained with separate transmitters at each element of array.
  4. Steerable feature of an array means that the beam from a shipborne or airborne rdr may be stabilized electronically, rather than mechanically.
