c)

Co-channel interference refers to the enhancement of signal quality due to overlapping frequencies.

d)

Co-channel interference is the phenomenon where a single transmitter uses multiple frequency channels.

7.

What is adjacent channel interference?

a)

Interference due to physical obstructions in the signal path.

b)

Interference from non-frequency related signals.

c)

Adjacent channel interference is the interference caused by signals from nearby frequency channels.

d)

Interference caused by distant frequency channels.

8.

How can physical obstructions cause interference in radiocommunication?

a)

Radio waves can pass through any material without interference.

b)

Obstructions have no effect on radio signals.
