In the block diagram of the receiver shown, the "mixer"

  • Correct Answer
    changes the signal frequency
  • rejects SSB and CW signals
  • protects against receiver overload
  • limits the noise on the signal

In the receiver shown, when receiving a signal, the output frequency of the "oscillator" is

  • the same as that of the signal
  • the same as that of the IF amplifier
  • Correct Answer
    of constant amplitude and frequency
  • passed through the following filter

In the block diagram of the receiver shown, the "limiter"

  • Correct Answer
    limits the signal to a constant amplitude
  • rejects SSB and CW signals
  • limits the frequency shift of the signal
  • limits the phase shift of the signal

The demodulator will usually be a "discriminator" and may even be of a "phase-lock-loop" variety. There will be a "limiter" before the descriminator to remove noise peaks and amplitude-changes before detection of the FM signal
