In a superhetrodyne receiver, the output of an oscillator is connected to a transformer. What is the function of the transformer?

  • It provides isolation between the highfrequency oscillator and the detector
  • It provides tuning for the output of the intermediate frequency amplifier
  • It provides tuning for the input of the intermediate frequency amplifier
  • Correct Answer
    It provides coupling between the beatfrequency oscillator and the detector
