Which receiver measurement requires a calibrated signal generator?

  • A.Supply current at idle with no signal present
  • B.Sensitivity in microvolts
  • C.Audio output power into a resistive load
  • D.Loudspeaker impedance at the crossover point

Answer: B

Sensitivity is quoted as the input level needed for a stated output signal-to-noise ratio, so a generator of known output is essential. Audio power needs a load and a voltmeter. Loudspeaker impedance needs a bridge. And idle current needs only an ammeter. Measurements that reference an input level always require a calibrated source, which is why the signal generator is the central instrument on a receiver bench.
