Ram, Are you the interviewer or the interviewee? If you are the interviewer, I doubt you will be able to sufficiently evaluate a candidate just by knowing the answers. My current manager has stopped doing any part of the technical interview because he realizes that his employees are better equipped. If you are on the receiving end of these questions, memorizing the answers will not help you as I will find you out in about 5 minutes. I recently had a candidate who knew the filter phasing a bit too well. After a couple of more questions I realized that he had memorized every aspect of phasing, probably because it is such a common question.
We have also come up with a technical test where you sit in front of the tools and have to create a little "application". Those who know their stuff finish in less than 20 minutes and those that don't take a long time. It is a great differentiator. Again, after about 5 minutes of watching, we know your level of experience. Either way, good luck, it doesn't hurt to know more about a subject.
