Which fault would make a receiver's audio distort only on loud passages?

  • A.An intermediate filter narrower than the deviation requires
  • B.A failed pilot detector in the stereo decoder
  • C.An open-circuit muting transistor in the audio path
  • D.Excessive gain in the audio output stage

Answer: A

Loud passages deviate furthest, so a filter that clips the outer sidebands distorts them while quiet passages pass cleanly. That level dependence is the signature of a bandwidth problem, at the receiver or in the transmitter's deviation. A pilot fault gives mono. A muting fault gives silence or noise. And excessive audio gain would clip at the output, which is also level dependent but would not respond to retuning the station. Noting whether a symptom follows level, frequency or tuning is what separates the possibilities.
