COMMUNICATION SYSTEM Class XII

1. What is communication? 2. What is an information signal? 3. What is a baseband signal? 4. What is bandwidth? 5 What is communication system? Draw a neat block diagram of a communication system. 6. Briefly describe the basic parts of a communication system. 7. What is the difference between an analog and digital communication? 8. What do you mean by point to point communication and broadcast? 9. What do you understand by line communication and space communication? Give examples. 10. What is an antenna? What role does it play in communication system? What should be the length of a dipole antenna? 11. Why is amplification needed in communication? Where is it done and what is the source of power? 12. Draw a diagram depicting different modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves. 13. What do you mean by the terms noise, repeater, attenuation and transducer? 14. Briefly explain how amplitude modulated wave is produced. What is the function of square law device and band pass filter? 15. Why do we need amplification of modulated signal in a transmitter and again need amplification before detection? 16. Explain why high frequency carrier waves are needed for effective

transmission of signals. 17. What is modulation? Why is modulation necessary? 18. What is a detector? Draw the block diagram of a receiver of AM wave. What is intermediate frequency stage? 19. What do you mean by bandwidth of a signal? How much bandwidth is considered adequate for i). speech signal ii). Music signal iii). Video and TV signal? 20. Briefly explain space communication, ground wave propagation, sky wave propagation. 21. Why does ground wave propagation fail for frequencies more than 2MHz? 22. Why cant sky waves be used for transmitting TV signals? 23. What does the term LOS mean? Name the types of waves that are used for this communication. Give examples with the help of suitable diagram of communication systems that use space wave mode of transmission. 24. What is modulation index? 25. Do solved numerical of NCERT.
