A super heterodyne receiver is designed to receive transmitted signals between 5 and 10 MHz. High-side tuning is to be used. The tuning range of the local oscillator for IF frequency 500 kHz would be

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Since High-side tuning is used

Test: Amplitude Modulation - Question 14

A super heterodyne receiver uses an IF frequency of 455 kHz. The receiver is tuned to a transmitter having a carrier frequency of 2400 kHz. High-side tuning is to be used. The image frequency will be

Detailed Solution: Question 14

Test: Amplitude Modulation - Question 15

In the circuit shown in fig, the transformers are center tapped and the diodes are connected as shown in a bridge. Between the terminals 1 and 2 an a.c. voltage source of frequency 400 Hz is connected. Another a.c. voltage of 1.0 MHz is connected between 3 and 4. The output between 5 and 6 contains components at

Detailed Solution: Question 15

The given circuit is a ring modulator. The output is DSB-SC signal. So it will contain m(t) cos( nwct) where n = 1,2, 3...... Therefore there will be only (1 MHz +- 400 Hz) frequency component.

Test: Amplitude Modulation - Question 16

A superheterodyne receiver is to operate in the frequency range 550 kHz-1650 kHz, with the intermediate frequency of 450 kHz. Let R = cmax / cmin   denote the required capacitance ratio of the local oscillator and I denote the image frequency (in kHz) of the incoming signal. If the receiver is tuned to 700 kHz, then

Detailed Solution: Question 16

fmax = 1650 + 450 = 2100 kHz

fmin = 550 + 450 = 1000 kHz.

Test: Amplitude Modulation - Question 17

Consider a system shown in Figure . Let X( f ) and Y( f ) denote the Fourier transforms of x(t) and y(t) respectively. The ideal HPF has the cutoff frequency 10 kHz. The positive frequencies where Y( f ) has spectral peaks are

Detailed Solution: Question 17

Since X (f) has spectral peak at 1 kHz so at the output of first modulator spectral peak will be at (10 + 1) kHz and (10  1) kHz. After passing the HPF frequency component of 11 kHz will remain. The output of 2nd modulator will be (13 +11) kHz. So Y (f) has spectral peak at 2 kHz and 24 kHz.

 m(t).s(t) = y1(t)

Test: Amplitude Modulation - Question 19

What is the carrier frequency in an AM wave when its highest frequency component is 850Hz and the bandwidth of the signal is 50Hz?

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Upper frequency = 850Hz
Bandwidth = 50Hz
Therefore lower Frequency = 850 - 50= 800 Hz
Carrier Frequency = (850-800)/2
= 825 Hz
