Semester :V

Question Bank Unit-I

Subject:Data Communication

1) Explain the different types of signals? Differentiate between analog and digital signals. 2) How can composite signal be decomposed into its individual frequencies. 3) Differentiate between Simplex, Half duplex and Full duplex transmission . 4) Explain the term Data rate, Signal rate ,Periodic signal and non-periodic signal. 5) Explain the different techniques in serial transmission . 6) What are the difference between frequency and time domain ?

7) What is data communication? What are the components of data communication?

8) Explain the characteristics of analog signal. 9) Since parallel communications transmit bits simultaneously, why not design parallel communications with an arbitrary large number of parallel lines to decrease transmission time?

10) Distinguish between synchronous and asynchronous communication. 11) How does full-duplex communication prevent signals travelling in opposite from colliding? 12) Explain Baseband transmission with an example. 13) Explain Broadband transmission with an example. 14) What is the relationship between frequency and period? 15) What are the difference between serial and parallel transmission? 16) Is the frequency plot of voice signal is discrete or continuous? 17) How does the amplitude, frequency and phase of a signal is measured? 18) What are the characteristics of data communication system?

19) A digital signal send from one station in a LAN to another station.Is this baseband or broadband

transmission?

20) Explain Isochronous serial transmission.
