B-003-10: Receiver fundamentals

B-003-10-01: Which list of emission types is in order from the narrowest bandwidth to the widest bandwidth?

CW, RTTY, SSB voice, FM voice

CW, SSB voice, RTTY, FM voice

CW, FM voice, RTTY, SSB voice

RTTY, CW, SSB voice, FM voice



B-003-10-02: The figure in a receiver's specifications which indicates its sensitivity is the:

signal plus noise to noise ratio

audio output in watts

bandwidth of the IF in kilohertz

number of RF amplifiers



B-003-10-03: If two receivers of different sensitivity are compared, the less sensitive receiver will produce:

less signal or more noise

a steady oscillator drift

more than one signal

more signal or less noise



B-003-10-04: Which of the following modes of transmission is usually detected with a product detector?

Single sideband suppressed carrier

Double sideband full carrier

Frequency modulation

Pulse modulation



B-003-10-05: A receiver designed for SSB reception must have a BFO (beat frequency oscillator) because:

the suppressed carrier must be replaced for detection

it beats with the received carrier to produce the other sideband

it reduces the passband of the IF stages

it phases out the unwanted sideband signal



B-003-10-06: A receiver receives an incoming signal of 3.54 MHz, and the local oscillator produces a signal of 3.995 MHz. To which frequency should the IF be tuned?

455 kHz

7.435 MHz

3.995 MHz

3.54 MHz



B-003-10-07: What kind of filter would you use to attenuate an interfering carrier signal while receiving an SSB transmission?

A notch filter

A band pass filter

An all pass filter

A pi-network filter



B-003-10-08: The three main parameters against which the quality of a receiver is measured are:

sensitivity, selectivity and stability

selectivity, stability and frequency range

sensitivity, stability and cross-modulation

sensitivity, selectivity and image rejection



B-003-10-09: 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. If you were listening to single sideband, which filter would you utilize?

2.4 kHz

250 Hz

6 kHz

500 Hz



B-003-10-10: 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?

250 Hz

500 Hz

2.4 kHz

6 kHz



B-003-10-11: Selectivity can be placed in the audio stages of a receiver by the utilization of RC active or passive audio filters. If you were to copy CW, which of the following bandpasses would you choose?

750 - 850 Hz

2100 - 2300 Hz

300 - 2700 Hz

100 - 1100 Hz
