Which detector is used in a broadcast AM receiver?

  • A.A product detector with a local carrier
  • B.A phase-locked loop
  • C.A ratio detector
  • D.A diode envelope detector

Answer: D

A diode envelope detector suffices because the transmitted carrier makes the envelope follow the message, and its cheapness is the whole commercial argument for full-carrier AM. A product detector is needed for suppressed-carrier signals. A phase-locked loop and a ratio detector are both angle-modulation devices. Matching the detector to what the modulation puts the information in is the quickest way to read any receiver diagram.
