LICENSE QUIZ #264

de Steve, AE8AT

This quiz should go out the week of Groundhog Day, which gives us our theme. More precisely, the quiz takes a cue from the movie Groundhog Day where Bill Murray’s character wakes up to relive the same day over and over again. The quiz will take the same question number (4B05) from each pool, echoing the plotline of the movie. (The movie is a 1993 release according to imdb.com <http://imdb.com>  if that is racking your brain cells.)

 

T4B05 What does the scanning function of an FM transceiver do?
A. Checks incoming signal deviation
B. Prevents interference to nearby repeaters
C. Tunes through a range of frequencies to check for activity
D. Checks for messages left on a digital bulletin board

 

G4B05 Why do voltmeters have high input impedance?
A. It improves the frequency response
B. It allows for higher voltages to be safely measured
C. It improves the resolution of the readings
D. It decreases the loading on circuits being measured

 

E4B05 What three test loads are used to calibrate an RF vector network analyzer?
A. 50 ohms, 75 ohms, and 90 ohms
B. Short circuit, open circuit, and 50 ohms
C. Short circuit, open circuit, and resonant circuit
D. 50 ohms through 1/8 wavelength, 1/4 wavelength, and 1/2 wavelength of coaxial cable

 

Answers:
T4B05 = C
G4B05 = D
E4B05 = B
