Receivers...!!!
Q.1 The CCIR system B receiver uses a IF for picture is
a) 38.9 MHz
b) 45.56 MHz
c) 25.87 MHz
d) 12.98 MHz
Ans : a
Solution : The IF amplifier in A TV receiver should provide a bandwidth of about 7MHZ but for
System B reveiver it should be 38.9 MHz.
Hence the correct option is (a)
Q.2 Q factor requirment is not fixed in which receiver
a) Super hetro dyne
b) TRF
c) Base band
d) Armstrong
Ans : b
Solution : Q factor requirement of tuned circuit RF amplifier is not fixed and for upper side of
short wave its 2000.
Hence the correct option is (b)
Q.3 Consider the following statements regarding block digaram of Receiver
1. RF amplifier
2. Mixer
3. IF Amplifier
4. Slope detector
The common blocks in both AM and FM receiver is
a) 1 and 4
b) 1,2 and 4
c) 1 and 3
d) 1,2 and 3
Ans : d
Solution : Slope detection is not a common block in AM and FM otherwise all other are
common blocks
Hence the correct option is (d)
Q.4. Automatic gain control (AGC) is a linear operation in radio receiver with respect to
a) Noise
b) RF signal
c) Both noise and RF signal
d) Filter components
Ans : c
Solution : Automatic gain control (AGC) is a linear operation in radio receiver with respect to
both noise and RF signal.
Hence the correct option is (c)
Q.5 The local oscillator frequency and image frequency in super hetro dyne receiver is 1450 kHz
and 1900 kHz respectively. Calculate intermediate and signal frequency respectively
a) 450 kHz and 1000 kHz
b) 500 kHz and 950 kHz
c) 750 kHz and 2000 kHz
d) 350 kHz and 1500 kHz
Ans : a
Solution : IF frequency = 1900-1000/2 = 450 kHz
signal frequency= 1450-450 = 1000 kHz
Hence the correct option is (a)
Q.6 The basic principle of Superhetrodyne receiver is
a) The signal voltage and local oscillator frequency is mixed together to produce constant lower
frequency called IF frequency.
b) The signal voltage and local oscillator frequency is multiplied together to produce constant
lower frequency called IF frequency.
c) The signal voltage and local oscillator frequency is mixed together to produce constant
higher frequency called IF frequency.
d) The signal voltage and local oscillator frequency is mixed together to produce constant upper
frequency called IF frequency.
Ans : a
solution : In superhetrodyne receiver, The signal voltage and local oscillator frequency is mixed
together to produce constant lower frequency called IF frequency.
Hence the correct option is (a)
Q.7 Consider the statement regarding the radio receiver
1. it must select the desired signal from all other accompany unwanted signal
2. it must be able to provide the necessary amplification to the selected signal

d) 1,2 and 3
Ans : d
Solution: The limitations of TRF that commonmy encounter is
insufficient bandwidth
2. insufficient adjacent frequency variation
3. instability
Hence the correct option is (d)
Q.9 Consider the following statements regarding RF stage of superhetrodyne receiver
1. RF stage provide better sensitivity to the receiver due to grrater gain at the input.
2. High Q factor of RF stage is used for improved image rejection
3. Better selectivity due to RF stage
The correct statement regarding the RF stage
a) 1 and 2
b) 2 and 3
c) 1 and 3
d) 1,2 and 3
Ans : d
Solution :
[Link] stage provide better sensitivity to the receiver due to grrater gain at the input.
2. High Q factor of RF stage is used for improved image rejection
3. Better selectivity due to RF stage so that adjacent channel interference removed.
Hence the correct option is (d)
Q.10 In radio reciver which device called as frequency changer
a) RF amplifier
b) Local Oscillator
c) Mixer
d) tuned amplifier
Ans : c
Solution : The frequency chnager is the mixer and it is a non linear device because it takes 2
input and one output
Hence the correct option is (c)
