How is a J3E signal generated?

  • By using high-level modulation to produce a single sideband.
  • Correct Answer
    By using a double balanced mixer and a sideband filter.
  • By using the audio signal to phase modulate the carrier.
  • By using low level modulation and a sideband filter.

How is the lower sideband eliminated?

  • By using a double balanced mixer to block the lower sideband.
  • By using a filter to pass the lower sideband and block the upper sideband.
  • By using a double balanced mixer to insert the carrier.
  • Correct Answer
    By using a filter to pass the upper sideband and block the lower sideband.

What is the most common method of generating a SITOR (NBDP) signal on shipboard GMDSS equipment?

  • Correct Answer
    Two alternating sidebands of 1615 Hz and 1785 Hz are offset from the carrier frequency by 1700 Hz.
  • The carrier frequency is alternately shifted from + 85 Hz to - 85 Hz while suppressing the sidebands.
  • There is one 1500 Hz sideband which is shifted from +170 Hz to - 170 Hz with a suppressed carrier.
  • Two alternating sidebands of 1500 Hz and 2300 Hz are offset from the carrier frequency by 1900 Hz.
