transmitter, carrier, keying, and amplitude modulation fundamentals
What does chirp mean?
-
A high-pitched tone which is received along with a CW signal
-
Correct AnswerA small change in a transmitter's frequency each time it is keyed
-
A slow change in transmitter frequency as the circuit warms up
-
An overload in a receiver's audio circuit whenever CW is received

A mismatched antenna or feedline may present an incorrect load to the transmitter. The result may be:
-
loss of modulation in the transmitted signal
-
the driver stage will not deliver power to the final
-
Correct Answerexcessive heat produced in the final transmitter stage
-
the output tank circuit breaks down

The input power to the final stage of your transmitter is 200 watts and the output is 125 watts. What has happened to the remaining power?
-
Correct AnswerIt has been dissipated as heat loss
-
It has been used to provide greater efficiency
-
It has been used to provide negative feedback
-
It has been used to provide positive feedback
