What is the effect of increasing noise levels on the performance of a communication system?.

  1. A.Improved signal strength
  2. B.Increased data transmission capacity
  3. C.Decreased signal-to-noise ratio
  4. D.Enhanced clarity of the signal

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • Decreased signal-to-noise ratio

Explanation

Why this works

As noise levels increase, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases, which negatively impacts the performance of the communication system. A lower ratio means that the signal is less distinguishable from the noise, leading to potential errors in data transmission.
