If a single-sideband voice transmitter is 100% modulated, how will using a speech processor affect the transmitter's output?
- A Decrease the average power
- B Decrease the peak envelope power
- C Increase the average power
- D Increase the peak envelope power
Correct answer: C — Increase the average power. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A speech processor boosts the quieter parts of your voice before transmission, which raises the overall signal level without exceeding the transmitter's maximum limit. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
