What is a crystal filter used for in a receiver?

  • A.Removing the direct component at the detector output
  • B.Stabilising the local oscillator against thermal drift
  • C.Sharp selectivity at the intermediate frequency
  • D.Image rejection in the circuits ahead of the mixer

Answer: C

Its very high Q gives adjacent-channel selectivity no simple tuned circuit can match, which is why it is fitted at the intermediate frequency where one fixed response serves the whole band. Image rejection is a preselector function at the signal frequency. The detector's direct component is blocked by a capacitor. And crystals do stabilise oscillators, but that is a different application of the same component. Matching component to function rather than to name is the point.
