Q1155.Which cellular standard is historically characterized by using very small cell towers to maximize frequency reuse in densely populated cities?
Correct Answer: A
2.5G networks (such as GPRS) optimized bandwidth in dense urban centers by employing micro-cells with very small geographic coverage.
Q1156.The fundamental GSM cellular standard is based on which type of traffic channels?
Correct Answer: C
Basic GSM telephony is circuit-switched and connection-oriented, allocating dedicated radio traffic channels to users during calls.
Q1157.In which cellular multiplexing technology is the total frequency spectrum divided into distinct, smaller frequency bands allocated to each user?
Correct Answer: B
FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) divides the available channel bandwidth into distinct non-overlapping frequency bands assigned to users.
Q1158.The fading of received radio signals in mobile communication environments is primarily caused by which phenomenon?
Correct Answer: A
Multipath propagation occurs when radio signals reflect off structures and reach the receiver at different times, causing phase cancellation and fading.
Q1159.What is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal number 1D7F16?
Correct Answer: B
1D7F in hex = (1 * 16^3) + (13 * 16^2) + (7 * 16^1) + (15 * 16^0) = 4096 + 3328 + 112 + 15 = 7551.
