answer Over-the-air; terrestrial microwave; direct cable feed; satellites; and local origination
programming.

distribution network composed of coaxial cable and/or fiber-optic cable; the drop at the customer
premises.
In a broadband cable network, what group is responsible for ensuring that the network remains in
smooth running order by dispatching crews to carry out routine system testing, preventative
maintenance, and equipment servicing and replacement? - correct answer NOC

and data traffic along with communications via STB Set-top boxes and other monitoring devices
throughout the network.
What are the factors that determine a conductor's resistance? - correct answer Conductor material,
diameter, length, and temperature.
OTA Over-the-air broadcast signals are acquired at the headend using - correct answer Yagi and log
periodic antennas.
During the 1980s, what led to the expansion in cable system channel capacity? - correct answer Fiber-
optic technology.

Cable antenna relay service - correct answer The over-the-air signal is converted to a frequency in the
12.7-13.2 GHz band.
One difference between FM Frequency modulation and AML Amplitude modulated link techniques in
microwave signal transmission is that - correct answer FM transmits a single channel, and AML sends
blocks of broadband channels between headends and hubs.
A satellite transponder - correct answer Receives, amplifies, transmits (at a different frequency), and re-
amplifies analog or compressed digital signals.
A single-beam TV receive-only (TVRO) antenna - correct answer Has a parabolic shape that reflects the
downlinked signal from all locations on the dish surface onto a central focal point, which collects the
reflections and provides maximum signal reception
What device in the headend separates an incoming signal into baseband video and audio elements? -
correct answer Demodulators.
