  • Question
  • Which one of the following statements regarding compandor is FALSE?


  • Options
  • A. It compresses the higher-amplitude parts of a signal before modulation and expands them back to normal again after demodulation.
  • B. It gives preferential treatment to the weaker parts of the signal
  • C. For weaker signals it gives a poor ratio of signal strength to quantizing error
  • D. Weaker signals, traverse more quantum steps than they would do otherwise and so quantizing error is reduced.

  • Correct Answer
  • For weaker signals it gives a poor ratio of signal strength to quantizing error
