What frequency range is the High Frequency band?
A. 100 kHz B. 1 GHz
C. 30 to 300 MHz D. 3 to 30 MHz
Answer and Explanation
Answer:D
Explanation: The HF band is based on frequencies 3 to 30 Mhz. AM radio stations are in the HF band but normally are stated in kilohertz.

The first step to getting output from a laser is to excite an active medium. What is this process called?
A. Pumping B. Exciting
C. Priming D. Raising
Answer and Explanation
Answer:A
Explanation: A collection of atoms or molecules that can be excited to a higher energy state is called an active medium. Before lasing can occur, the active media is "pumped". The process of raising the atoms in the active media from a lower energy state to a higher state is like pumping water up from a well.

A given signal's second harmonic is twice the given signal's __________ frequency...?
A. Fourier B. Foundation
C. Fundamental D. Field
Answer and Explanation
Answer:C
Explanation: A given signal's second harmonic is twice the given signal's fundamental frequency. Harmonics are generated when there are non-linearities in an amplifier (there are always non-linearities). The worse the non-linearities, the more harmonics. A signal at 27.5 MHz (approximate frequency for US citizen's band) would have a second harmonic at 55.0 MHz (on US channel 2!). Can you see why there might be problems? A CB operator might do well to place a low-pass filter on his radio.
