E2A Amateur radio in space: amateur satellites; orbital mechanics; frequencies and modes; satellite hardware; satellite operations
- [[E2A01]] (C)
What is the direction of an ascending pass for an amateur satellite?
- [[A.]] From west to east
- [[B.]] From east to west
- [[C.]] From south to north
- [[D.]] From north to south
--
- [[E2A02]] (D)
Which of the following is characteristic of an inverting linear transponder?
- [[A.]] Doppler shift is reduced because the uplink and downlink shifts are in opposite directions
- [[B.]] Signal position in the band is reversed
- [[C.]] Upper sideband on the uplink becomes lower sideband on the downlink, and vice versa
- [[D.]] All these choices are correct
--
- [[E2A03]] (D)
How is an upload signal processed by an inverting linear transponder?
- [[A.]] The signal is detected and remodulated on the reverse sideband
- [[B.]] The signal is passed through a nonlinear filter
- [[C.]] The signal is reduced to I and Q components, and the Q component is filtered out
- [[D.]] The signal is mixed with a local oscillator signal and the difference product is transmitted
--
- [[E2A04]] (B)
What is meant by the “mode” of an amateur radio satellite?
- [[A.]] Whether the satellite is in a low earth or geostationary orbit
- [[B.]] The satellites uplink and downlink frequency bands
- [[C.]] The satellites orientation with respect to the Earth
- [[D.]] Whether the satellite is in a polar or equatorial orbit
--
- [[E2A05]] (D)
What do the letters in a satellites mode designator specify?
- [[A.]] Power limits for uplink and downlink transmissions
- [[B.]] The location of the ground control station
- [[C.]] The polarization of uplink and downlink signals
- [[D.]] The uplink and downlink frequency ranges
--
- [[E2A06]] (A)
What are Keplerian elements?
- [[A.]] Parameters that define the orbit of a satellite
- [[B.]] Phase reversing elements in a Yagi antenna
- [[C.]] High-emission heater filaments used in magnetron tubes
- [[D.]] Encrypting codes used for spread spectrum modulation
--
- [[E2A07]] (D)
Which of the following types of signals can be relayed through a linear transponder?
- [[A.]] FM and CW
- [[B.]] SSB and SSTV
- [[C.]] PSK and packet
- [[D.]] All these choices are correct
--
- [[E2A08]] (B)
Why should effective radiated power (ERP) be limited to a satellite that uses a linear transponder?
- [[A.]] To prevent creating errors in the satellite telemetry
- [[B.]] To avoid reducing the downlink power to all other users
- [[C.]] To prevent the satellite from emitting out-of-band signals
- [[D.]] To avoid interfering with terrestrial QSOs
--
- [[E2A09]] (A)
What do the terms “L band” and “S band” specify?
- [[A.]] The 23- and 13-centimeter bands
- [[B.]] The 2-meter and 70-centimeter bands
- [[C.]] FM and digital store-and-forward systems
- [[D.]] Which sideband to use
--
- [[E2A10]] (B)
What type of satellite appears to stay in one position in the sky?
- [[A.]] HEO
- [[B.]] Geostationary
- [[C.]] Geomagnetic
- [[D.]] LEO
--
- [[E2A11]] (B)
What type of antenna can be used to minimize the effects of spin modulation and Faraday rotation?
- [[A.]] A linearly polarized antenna
- [[B.]] A circularly polarized antenna
- [[C.]] An isotropic antenna
- [[D.]] A log-periodic dipole array
--
- [[E2A12]] (C)
What is the purpose of digital store-and-forward functions on an amateur radio satellite?
- [[A.]] To upload operational software for the transponder
- [[B.]] To delay download of telemetry between satellites
- [[C.]] To hold digital messages in the satellite for later download
- [[D.]] To relay messages between satellites
