A-002-09: Mixers, frequency multipliers

A-002-09-01: What is the mixing process?

The combination of two signals to produce sum and difference frequencies

The elimination of noise in a wideband receiver by phase differentiation

The recovery of intelligence from a modulated signal

The elimination of noise in a wideband receiver by phase comparison



A-002-09-02: What are the principal frequencies that appear at the output of a mixer circuit?

The original frequencies and the sum and difference frequencies

1.414 and 0.707 times the input frequencies

The sum, difference and square root of the input frequencies

Two and four times the original frequency



A-002-09-03: What occurs when an excessive amount of signal energy reaches the mixer circuit?

Spurious signals are generated

Automatic limiting occurs

A beat frequency is generated

Mixer blanking occurs



A-002-09-04: In a frequency multiplier circuit, the input signal is coupled to the base of a transistor through a capacitor. A radio frequency choke is connected between the base of the transistor and ground. The capacitor is:

a DC blocking capacitor

part of the input tuned circuit

a by-pass for the circuit

part of the output tank circuit



A-002-09-05: A frequency multiplier circuit must be operated in:

class C

class AB

class B

class A



A-002-09-06: In a frequency multiplier circuit, an inductance (L1) and a variable capacitor (C2) are connected in series between VCC+ and ground. The collector of a transistor is connected to a tap on L1. The purpose of the variable capacitor is to:

tune L1 to the desired harmonic

by-pass RF

tune L1 to the frequency applied to the base

provide positive feedback



A-002-09-07: In a frequency multiplier circuit, an inductance (L1) and a variable capacitor (C2) are connected in series between VCC+ and ground. The collector of a transistor is connected to a tap on L1. A fixed capacitor (C3) is connected between the VCC+ side of L1 and ground. The purpose of C3 is to:

keep RF out of the power supply

form a pi filter with L1 and C2

resonate with L1

by-pass any audio components



A-002-09-08: In a frequency multiplier circuit, an inductance (L1) and a variable capacitor (C2) are connected in series between VCC+ and ground. The collector of a transistor is connected to a tap on L1. C2 in conjunction with L1 operate as a:

frequency multiplier

frequency divider

voltage divider

voltage doubler



A-002-09-09: In a circuit where the components are tuned to resonate at a higher frequency than applied, the circuit is most likely a:

a frequency multiplier

a VHF/UHF amplifier

a linear amplifier

a frequency divider



A-002-09-10: In a frequency multiplier circuit, an inductance (L1) and a variable capacitor (C2) are connected in series between VCC+ and ground. The collector of a transistor is connected to a tap on L1. A fixed capacitor (C3) is connected between the VCC+ side of L1 and ground. C3 is a:

RF by-pass capacitor

DC blocking capacitor

tuning capacitor

coupling capacitor



A-002-09-11: What stage in a transmitter would change a 5.3-MHz input signal to 14.3 MHz?

A mixer

A linear translator

A frequency multiplier

A beat frequency oscillator
