Synchronous detection of AM requires

  • A.No local reference of any kind, unlike envelope detection
  • B.A local carrier of the correct frequency and phase
  • C.A diode of exponential characteristic
  • D.A limiter ahead of the detector

Answer: B

Coherent detection multiplies by a locally generated carrier matched in frequency and phase, and errors in either degrade or destroy the output. It is mandatory for suppressed-carrier signals and gives a small noise advantage for full-carrier AM, but the extra complexity is why envelope detection dominates broadcasting. A diode characteristic is an envelope-detector matter. A limiter belongs to FM. And it is envelope detection that needs no reference.
