What is the main purpose of channel coding?

  1. To increase the bandwidth of the channel

  2. To reduce the transmission power

  3. To improve the reliability of data transmission

  4. To reduce the latency of data transmission


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Channel coding is used to add redundancy to the transmitted data in order to make it more resistant to errors caused by noise and interference in the channel.

Which of the following is not a type of channel coding?

  1. Block coding

  2. Convolutional coding

  3. Turbo coding

  4. Linear coding


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Linear coding is not a specific type of channel coding, but rather a general class of channel codes that have certain mathematical properties.

What is the Hamming distance between two codewords?

  1. The number of bits that are different between the two codewords

  2. The number of bits that are the same between the two codewords

  3. The number of bits that are in error between the two codewords

  4. The number of bits that are not in error between the two codewords


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Hamming distance between two codewords is the number of bits that are different between the two codewords.

What is the minimum Hamming distance of a code?

  1. The smallest Hamming distance between any two codewords in the code

  2. The largest Hamming distance between any two codewords in the code

  3. The average Hamming distance between all pairs of codewords in the code

  4. The sum of the Hamming distances between all pairs of codewords in the code


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The minimum Hamming distance of a code is the smallest Hamming distance between any two codewords in the code.

What is the relationship between the minimum Hamming distance of a code and its error-correcting capability?

  1. The larger the minimum Hamming distance, the more errors the code can correct

  2. The smaller the minimum Hamming distance, the more errors the code can correct

  3. The minimum Hamming distance has no effect on the error-correcting capability of the code

  4. The error-correcting capability of the code is independent of the minimum Hamming distance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The larger the minimum Hamming distance of a code, the more errors the code can correct.

What is the rate of a code?

  1. The ratio of the number of information bits to the number of code bits

  2. The ratio of the number of code bits to the number of information bits

  3. The number of information bits in the code

  4. The number of code bits in the code


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The rate of a code is the ratio of the number of information bits to the number of code bits.

What is the relationship between the rate of a code and its error-correcting capability?

  1. The higher the rate, the better the error-correcting capability

  2. The lower the rate, the better the error-correcting capability

  3. The rate has no effect on the error-correcting capability

  4. The error-correcting capability is independent of the rate


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The lower the rate of a code, the better the error-correcting capability.

What is the Shannon limit?

  1. The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a channel with a given bandwidth and noise level

  2. The minimum rate at which data can be transmitted over a channel with a given bandwidth and noise level

  3. The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a channel with a given bandwidth and no noise

  4. The minimum rate at which data can be transmitted over a channel with a given bandwidth and no noise


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Shannon limit is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a channel with a given bandwidth and noise level.

What is the capacity of a channel?

  1. The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over the channel with zero error probability

  3. The maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over the channel with a given error probability

  4. The minimum rate at which data can be transmitted over the channel with a given error probability


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The capacity of a channel is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over the channel with zero error probability.

What is the relationship between the capacity of a channel and the Shannon limit?

  1. The capacity of a channel is always equal to the Shannon limit

  2. The capacity of a channel is always less than the Shannon limit

  3. The capacity of a channel is always greater than the Shannon limit

What is the relationship between the Nyquist rate and the bandwidth of a channel?

  1. The Nyquist rate is equal to twice the bandwidth of the channel

  2. The Nyquist rate is equal to half the bandwidth of the channel

  3. The Nyquist rate is equal to the bandwidth of the channel

  4. The Nyquist rate is independent of the bandwidth of the channel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Nyquist rate is equal to twice the bandwidth of the channel.

What is the sampling theorem?

  1. A theorem that states that a continuous-time signal can be perfectly reconstructed from its samples if the sampling rate is at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal

  2. A theorem that states that a continuous-time signal can be perfectly reconstructed from its samples if the sampling rate is less than twice the highest frequency component of the signal

  3. A theorem that states that a continuous-time signal can be perfectly reconstructed from its samples if the sampling rate is equal to twice the highest frequency component of the signal
