8. The sampling process includes methods such as
a) Filtering
b) Sample and hold
c) Amplifying
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: The analog data is converted to digital data through sampling. Sampling is done using sample and hold mechanism which uses transistor, capacitor or shutter etc

9. The output of sampling process are called as ________
a) Pulse code modulation
b) Pulse amplitude modulation
c) Frequency modulation
d) Amplitude modulation

Answer: b
Explanation: In sampling process, input data is split up into samples whose output samples are called as pulse amplitude modulation as the amplitude of the samples is derived from the input waveform

10. According to Sampling theorem
a) Ts is greater than 1/2fm
b) Ts is lesser than 1/2fm
c) Ts is equal to 1/2fm
d) Ts is lesser than or equal to 1/2fm

Answer: d
Explanation: By sampling theorem the input can be derived from the output samples if Ts is lesser than or equal to 1/2fm
