Why does the information in set-top box (STB) and modem diagnostic screens often appear
cryptic to a customer?
Coherent interference from ingress, or a beat from another channel modulator, landing
inside the QAM channel.
The screens use initials, acronyms, and jargon intended for people that are familiar with
the product.

Term 3 of 90
Why do digital modulation channels have measurable analog parameters?
In combinations of two or three, they can be configured to construct any other logic
gate.

Term 6 of 90
The Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) defines transport stream composition in the MPEG-2
Transport Stream (MPEG-2 TS) specification. What is periodically inserted in an MPEG-2 TS to
tell the decoder which packet identifiers (PID) are associated to reconstruct a program??
Program specific information (PSI).
A resolution bandwidth (rbw) filter.
The exclusive-nor (xnor) gate.
Switched digital video (sdv).
,Term 7 of 90
What does a cell phone seek when it tunes to its control channel frequency?
Coherent interference from ingress, or a beat from another channel modulator, landing
inside the QAM channel.
The system identification code (SID) assigned to the phone.
To help the receiver maintain synchronization with the modulator.
It is based on modulating an analog RF carrier with digital data.
Term 8 of 90
What is the decimal range of an 8-bit binary number?
0 - 510.
1 - 255.
0 - 128.
0 - 255.
Term 9 of 90

The trellis encoder stage.
Frames.
Spatial Compression.
, Term 10 of 90
What happens if the same video-on-demand (VOD) movie session is ordered by three separate
set-top box (STB) clients at three different times?
Coherent interference from ingress, or a beat from another channel modulator, landing
inside the QAM channel.
There is a separate unicast stream for each client, or three unicast streams.
When the digital TV (DTV) channel is multiplexed with other DTV channels in the
headend.
Additional revenue by adding new services or upgrading existing services.
Term 11 of 90
When Internet protocol (IP) hybrid set-top boxes (STB) are used to integrate Internet protocol
TV (IPTV) into a broadband cable network, how much involvement does the operator have
with virtual multichannel video programming distributors (vMVPD), streaming devices, and
content listings?
Mpeg-1.
Minimal.
Spectral Density.
Frames.
Term 12 of 90
What type of applications are error vector magnitude (EVM) expressions best suited?
Lossless.
Applications that have small random noise-like errors.
Mpeg-1.
