Question
In a communication system, repeaters are used to:
- AAdd noise to the signal
- BReduce the carrier frequency
- CAmplify and regenerate the signal to extend rangeCorrect
- DEncode the message
Correct answer
Amplify and regenerate the signal to extend range
Explanation
Signals attenuate as they travel. Repeaters restore the signal level. In digital links, regenerative repeaters re-time and re-shape bits, preventing noise accumulation (unlike analog amplifiers which also amplify noise).
