Selectivity in a receiver refers to its ability to

  • A.Amplify weak signals
  • B.Follow rapid changes in the envelope
  • C.Track the transmitter's carrier frequency
  • D.Reject signals in adjacent channels

Answer: D

Selectivity is the rejection of neighbouring channels, provided chiefly by the intermediate frequency filter, and it is quite separate from sensitivity, which is the ability to amplify weak signals. A receiver can be very sensitive and hopelessly unselective, in which case a strong local station will be heard across the dial. Envelope tracking is the detector's job. And frequency tracking is what the tuning and, in some designs, a control loop provide.
