A-005-07: Signal processing - AF, IF, and RF

A-005-07-01: Maintaining the peak RF output of a SSB transmitter at a relatively constant level requires a circuit called the:

automatic level control (ALC)

automatic gain control (AGC)

automatic output control (AOC)

automatic volume control (AVC)



A-005-07-02: Speech compression associated with SSB transmission implies:

full amplification of low level signals and reducing or eliminating amplification of high level signals

full amplification of high level signals and reducing or eliminating amplification of low level signals

a lower signal-to-noise ratio

circuit level instability



A-005-07-03: Which of the following functions IS NOT included in a typical digital signal processor?

Aliasing amplifier

Analog to digital converter

Digital to analog converter
