When testing the amplitude linearity of a single-sideband microphone input and on what audio tones are fed into the transmitter, what kind of kind of instrument is the output observed?

  • Correct Answer
    Two non-harmonically related tones are fed in, and the output is observed on an oscilloscope
  • Two harmonically related tones are fed in, and the output is observed on an oscilloscope
  • Two harmonically related tones are fed in, and the output is observed on a distortion analyzer
  • Two non-harmonically related tones are fed in, and the output is observed on a distortion analyzer

What audio frequencies are used in a two-tone test of the linearity of a singlesideband phone transmitter?

  • 20 Hz and 20 kHz tones must be used
  • 1200 Hz and 2400 Hz tones must be used
  • Any two audio tones may be used, but they must be within the transmitter audio passband, and must be harmonically related
  • Correct Answer
    Any two audio tones may be used, but they must be within the transmitter audio passband, and should not be harmonically related
