The Nyquist Criteria indicates the minimum rate at which a signal should be sampled in order that information is not lost
1. True
2. False
When signals pass through cables, the amplitude of the signal injected into the cable is equal to the amplitude of the signal emerging from the cable.
1. True
2. False
Compression techniques can reduce the number of bits that need to be used to represent some form of information.
1. True
2. False
The use of compression techniques does not result in additional latency.
1. True
2. False
Whenever compression is used, information is lost.
1. True
2. False
When a signal is transmitted across some form of interconnect, it takes a finite time to arrive at its destination.
1. True
2. False
In the case of packet switching, a dedicated transmission pair is established.
1. True
2. False
A fully connected topology is suitable for use with a large number of nodes.
1. True
2. False
If a fully connected topology is used to connect ten nodes, forty five connections are required.
1. True
2. False
Token passing provides an orderly method for the utilisation of a shared interconnect.
1. True
2. False
