A receiver produces a whistle that changes pitch as it is tuned, near one particular station.

The most likely cause is

  • A.An image or heterodyne from another signal
  • B.A failed de-emphasis network
  • C.Diagonal clipping in the detector
  • D.Over-modulation at the distant transmitter

Answer: A

A tuneable whistle is the signature of two carriers beating together, which happens when an image or an adjacent-channel signal reaches the mixer and produces an audible difference frequency. Better preselection or a different intermediate frequency is the cure. De-emphasis belongs to FM. Diagonal clipping distorts the envelope without producing a tone. And over-modulation splatters rather than whistles. Interference diagnostics turn on whether the artefact tunes with the dial.
