Why is cross-modulation a front-end rather than an IF problem?

  • A.It arises from non-linearity before the selectivity
  • B.It only affects amplitude-modulated signals
  • C.The IF strip has too little gain to produce it
  • D.It depends on the audio stage's headroom

Answer: A

Cross-modulation transfers one station's modulation onto another, and that requires non-linearity acting while both signals are still present, which is before the intermediate frequency filter has separated them. Once the filter has removed the interferer there is nothing left to cross-modulate. It is not specific to amplitude modulation. Gain is not the issue; linearity is. And the audio stage is far too late. Any interaction between two signals must be located at a point where both still exist.
