In a signal, dynamic range is the ratio of the power of the strongest signal to the power of the weakest signal.

Dynamic-range conversion refers to decreasing (compression) or increasing (expansion) the dynamic range of a signal.

Dynamic range and dynamic range conversion are therefore unrelated to ADC - Analog to Digital Conversion and the right Answer is B.

They are the same at Higher Frequencies, so don’t compare Families, it’s not nice.

The primary operating frequency of a reflex klystron is controlled by the dimensions of its resonant cavity because the cavity's geometry directly determines its resonant frequency, meaning that by changing the cavity size (through mechanical adjustments), the operating frequency of the klystron can be altered; essentially, the cavity acts like a tuned circuit where its physical dimensions dictate the frequency at which it will oscillate most efficiently. Key points about this relationship:

Resonant cavity principle:
A resonant cavity is a closed space that can store electromagnetic energy at specific frequencies, and its resonant frequency is entirely dependent on its shape and size. 

Electron beam interaction: In a reflex klystron, the electron beam interacts with the electric field within the resonant cavity, causing it to oscillate at the cavity's resonant frequency. Mechanical tuning: By physically adjusting the cavity dimensions (like changing its length or width), the resonant frequency can be altered, allowing for a small range of frequency tuning in the klystron.

A Gunn diode oscillator utilizes the "bulk effect" of negative differential resistance within a semiconductor material like gallium arsenide, where, under a high electric field, the electron mobility decreases, leading to a region of negative resistance which, when placed in a resonant circuit, can spontaneously generate microwave oscillations due to the cancellation of the load's positive resistance with the diode's negative resistance; essentially, the bulk of the semiconductor material itself acts as the oscillating element, not a junction like in other diodes.

Fine adjustments of a reflex klystron are accomplished by:

Varying the repeller voltage.

A reflex klystron is a type of microwave tube used to generate microwave signals at a specific frequency. Fine adjustments of a reflex klystron are accomplished by varying the repeller voltage.

The repeller voltage is used to control the velocity of the electrons passing through the cavity of the reflex klystron. By adjusting the repeller voltage, the electron beam's velocity can be finely tuned, which affects the phase relationship between the electrons and the RF signal in the cavity. This, in turn, allows for precise frequency control and fine adjustments of the generated microwave signal.
