What problem does local oscillator tracking address?

  • A.Preventing the oscillator from drifting as the ambient temperature changes
  • B.Matching the antenna across the tuning range
  • C.Holding the audio output level constant
  • D.Keeping the oscillator exactly one intermediate frequency from the signal across the band

Answer: D

As the receiver is tuned, the oscillator must stay a fixed intermediate frequency away from the signal, which a single ganged capacitor cannot do exactly because the required frequency ratio differs from the signal circuit's. Padder and trimmer capacitors correct it at three points across the band. Drift is a stability matter handled by component choice. Antenna matching and audio levelling are separate functions. Tracking is a geometric problem peculiar to ganged tuning.
