  • more than one signal
  • Correct Answer

A receiver designed for SSB reception must have a BFO (beat frequency oscillator) because:

  • it beats with the received carrier to produce the other sideband
  • it reduces the passband of the IF stages
  • Correct Answer
    the suppressed carrier must be replaced for detection
  • it phases out the unwanted sideband signal

  • 3.995 MHz
  • Correct Answer
    455 kHz
  • 3.54 MHz

A communications receiver has four filters installed in it, one at 250 Hz, one at 500 Hz, one at 2.4 kHz and one at 6 kHz. You are copying a CW transmission and there is a great deal of interference. Which one of the filters would you choose?

  • 500 Hz
  • 2.4 kHz
  • 6 kHz
  • Correct Answer
    250 Hz

  • 300 - 2700 Hz
  • Correct Answer
    750 - 850 Hz
  • 100 - 1100 Hz
