IF Amplifiers
What degree of selectivity is desirable in the IF circuitry of a wideband FM phone receiver?
  • 1 kHz.
  • 2.4 kHz.
  • 4.2 kHz.
  • Correct Answer
    15 kHz.

What degree of selectivity is desirable in the IF circuitry of a wideband FM phone receiver?

15 kHz.

You can use IF amplifier to adjust frequency selectivity when the desired frequency is difficult for tuning. This is partly done through the ability to reject radio frequencies that are undesired. The IF amplifier works from the ranges of 0.1 Hz to 1 kHz, and also from 10 MHz to 300 GHz.

Which one of these filters can be used in micro-miniature electronic circuits?
  • High power transmitter cavity.
  • Correct Answer
    Receiver SAW IF filter.
  • Floppy disk controller.
  • Internet DSL to telephone line filter.

Which one of these filters can be used in micro-miniature electronic circuits?

Receiver SAW IF filter.

From badwolf.j:

Surface Acoustic Wave

Intermediate Frequency


From the PC Mag site for the definition of the SAW IF filter.

"(Surface Acoustic Wave filter) A semiconductor device that is used to filter out desired frequencies. Widely used in mobile phones to filter both RF and IF frequencies, a SAW filter uses the piezoelectric effect to turn the input signal into vibrations that are turned back into electrical signals in the desired frequency range."

Please see the Data-Alliance site for the article SAW Filters for GPS Antennas

And, also see the Utmel site for the article SAW Filter: Introduction, Features and Applications

What is an undesirable effect of using too wide a filter bandwidth in the IF section of a receiver?
  • Output-offset overshoot.
  • Correct Answer
    Undesired signals will reach the audio stage.
  • Thermal-noise distortion.
  • Filter ringing.

How should the filter bandwidth of a receiver IF section compare with the bandwidth of a received signal?
  • Correct Answer
    Slightly greater than the received-signal bandwidth.
  • Approximately half the received-signal bandwidth.
  • Approximately two times the received-signal bandwidth.
  • Approximately four times the received-signal bandwidth.
