πŸ“ Sample Questions

Q1. What is the main function of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) in a communication system?

πŸ”Ή A. Increase data rate
πŸ”Ή B. Spread signal over wider bandwidth for resistance to interference
πŸ”Ή C. Reduce power consumption
πŸ”Ή D. Convert analog signals to digital

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: easy | βœ… Correct: B

Q2. Suppose a link has total bandwidth of 200β€―MHz, and each of 5 users is allocated an equal portion via DSSS. If each user’s spread signal occupies 30β€―MHz, what can be inferred about the remaining bandwidth?

πŸ”Ή A. 50β€―MHz remains unused and could serve as guard band or future channels
πŸ”Ή B. No bandwidth remains; system is fully utilized
πŸ”Ή C. Remaining bandwidth must be allocated equally to each user, reducing their portion
πŸ”Ή D. The system must reduce each user’s bandwidth to fit within 200β€―MHz

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: medium | βœ… Correct: A

Q3. A DSSS transmitter increases its chip rate while keeping the data rate constant. How does this change affect the probability of a narrowband interferer corrupting a bit, assuming interferer bandwidth stays the same?

πŸ”Ή A. Probability increases because higher chip rate widens the signal
πŸ”Ή B. Probability decreases because higher chip rate spreads the signal more, making narrowband interference less likely to affect a bit
πŸ”Ή C. Probability remains unchanged because interferer bandwidth is constant
πŸ”Ή D. Probability fluctuates unpredictably

πŸ’‘ Difficulty: hard | βœ… Correct: B
