This is the MCQs in Bandwidth Utilization: Multiplexing and Spreading from book the Data Communications and Networking 4th Edition by Behrouz A. Forouzan. If you are looking for a reviewer in Electronics Systems and Technologies (Communications Engineering) this will definitely help you before taking the Board Exam.
In this particular topic you have learned the two the two broad categories of bandwidth utilization: multiplexing and spreading. If you skip the summary visit Bandwidth utilization which refers to the use of available bandwidth to achieve specific goals.
Begin and Good luck!
