What happens to image rejection as the intermediate frequency is raised?

  • A.It improves, because the image moves further out
  • B.It worsens, because the mixer must work harder
  • C.It is unchanged, since rejection depends on the preselector alone
  • D.It improves, because the intermediate filter becomes narrower

Answer: A

Raising the intermediate frequency pushes the image further from the wanted signal, where the preselector's skirts attenuate it more, so rejection improves. That is the central argument for a high first intermediate frequency. The mixer's difficulty does not enter into it. Rejection depends on both the preselector's selectivity and the image's distance, so it is not the preselector alone. And a higher intermediate frequency makes narrow filtering harder rather than easier, which is exactly the tension the next question addresses.
