Which impairment does a limiter fail to remove from an AM signal?

  • A.The wanted amplitude variation
  • B.Impulse noise spikes
  • C.Amplitude variation caused by fading
  • D.Carrier level differences between stations

Answer: A

A limiter removes amplitude variation indiscriminately, and in AM the amplitude variation is the information, so limiting destroys the message. That is why limiters belong to FM receivers, where amplitude carries nothing and removing it strips the noise. The three impairments listed as alternatives are all amplitude effects a limiter would indeed suppress, along with the signal itself, which is precisely why it cannot be used here.
