Assignment – 2

Question 1: Write down the full form:

VSWR, D-AMPS, GSM, CDMA, BIOS, USB, CAD,

EDA, HDL, PLD, FPGA, DSP

Answer: VSWR: Voltage Standing Wave Ratio

D-AMPS: Digital -Advanced Mobile Phone Service

GSM: Global System for Mobile Communications

CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access

BIOS:Basic Input Output System

USB: Universal Serial Bus

CAD: Computer Aided Design

EDA: Electronics Design Automation

HDL: Hardware Description Language

PLD: Programmable Logic Device

FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array

DSP:Digital Signal Processor

Question 2: Explain D-AMPS for 3 users with diagram.

Answer:
(a) A D-AMPS channel with 3 users

Question 3: Explain POST operation.

Answer: The BIOS determines whether the video card is operational

The BIOS checks to see if this is a cold boot or a reboot

If it is a cold boot, the BIOS verifies RAM by performing a read/write test of each memory
address

The BIOS looks at the sequence of storage devices identified as boot devices in the CMOS
Setup

Question 4: Draw the block diagram of ADC & DAC.

Answer:

The Analog-to-digital conversion(ADC)

The digital-to-Analog conversion(DAC)

Question 5: What are the types of HDL available in
electronics? What are uses of HDL?
Answer:

VHDL&Verilog HDL

Use:

VHDL will improve your productivity

-VHDL(like a structured software design language ) is most beneficial when you use a
structured ,top-down approach to design

Another important reason to use VHDL is

-the rapid pace of development in electronic design automation tools and in target techologies
