Which verbal description best fits a GPS antenna?

A Mushroom.

B Short whip.

C Truncated cone.

D Long whip.

Question 2

Why is proper grounding of the MF/HF antenna tuning unit important?

A For matching the transmitter with the antenna and proper wave formation: the ship’s hull forms a dipole pair with the antenna.

B For crew safety, as the voltage applied to the antenna may exceed one kilovolt.

C For equipment protection in case of lightning strike to the antenna.

D To reduce signal losses in the cable.

Question 3

On which vessels is an external sound signal receiving system required?

A On vessels with a fully enclosed wheelhouse.

B On passenger ships.

C On vessels with a gross tonnage over 3000 tons.

D On vessels with a high noise level.

Question 4

In which wavelength range does marine radar operate?

A Centimeter waves.

B Meter waves.

C Decimeter waves.

D Millimeter waves.

Question 5

What is the difference between S-band radar and X-band radar?

A S-band generally has a longer detection range but lower resolution.

B At least one X-band radar is mandatory for all vessels over 300 GT; the presence and number of S-band radars are not regulated.

C The antenna of an S-band radar is significantly larger than that of an X-band radar.

D The antenna of an S-band radar is significantly smaller than that of an X-band radar.
