Self-Test
1. Echo-suppression devices, developed in the late 1950s, were first employed to manage echo generated primarily in satellite circuits.
a. true
b. false
2. The two distinct areas of echo cancellation are acoustic and hybrid echo cancellation.
a. true
b. false
3. Hybrid echo results from converting four-wire trunk circuits to two-wire local cabling using a device called a "hybrid."
a. true
b. false
4. Today's digital cellular network technologies, namely TDMA, CDMA, and GSM/PCS, require significantly less processing power to transmit signal paths through channels.
a. true
b. false
5. When a mobile user calls a fixed network customer, unacceptable call quality can result at the fixed end of the link. In addition, certain digital handsets add an offset to the transmit signal, causing degradation of digital cellular's speech compres
a. true
b. false

b. new digital network infrastructures such as TDMA, CDMA, and GSM
c. numerous network carriers
d. all of the above
7. Which of the following is the term for the amount of time that the canceller has to hold the model of the echo in order to recognize and cancel it?
a. echo model
b. tail circuit requirement
c. echo prediction period
d. convergence time
8. Although not a factor in itself on digital cellular networks, which of the following becomes a problem in PSTNoriginated calls?
a. attenuation
b. echo return loss
c. hybrid echo
d. comfort noise
9. Digital processing delays are encountered as signals are processed through various network routes, such as which of the following?
a. copper wire
b. fiber optic lines
c. microwave connections
d. all of the above
10. Which factor is expected to bring digital wireless telephony much closer to matching wireline quality?
a. new recommendations with much tighter requirements for handsets
b. a call for the implementation of greatly improved handset designs
c. ongoing improvements in network technology and echo cancellation techniques
d. all of the above
