The capture effect in FM reception means

  • A.The weaker signal is amplified preferentially
  • B.The receiver locks to the first signal received
  • C.The stronger of two signals suppresses the weaker
  • D.Both signals are heard equally

Answer: C

The limiter and discriminator together let the stronger signal dominate and the weaker vanish once the difference exceeds a few decibels, which gives clean reception in the presence of interference. Hearing both equally is the AM behaviour, and it is precisely why aeronautical communication retains AM: a second transmission must be noticed. Preferential amplification of the weaker signal happens in no receiver. And arrival order plays no part. Capture is a benefit for broadcasting and a hazard for air traffic control.
