An intermediate frequency of \( 455 \ \mathrm{kHz} \) is used. A spurious response appears when a signal arrives \( 227.5 \ \mathrm{kHz} \) from the oscillator. This is

  • A.An oscillator harmonic mixing with a broadcast carrier
  • B.The half-IF response
  • C.The image response, at twice the intermediate frequency
  • D.Adjacent channel breakthrough from a neighbouring station

Answer: B

A signal half an intermediate frequency from the oscillator produces the half-IF spurious response, because its second harmonic beats with the oscillator's second harmonic to land in the passband:

\[ 2 \times 227.5 = 455 \ \mathrm{kHz} \]

The image lies a full two intermediate frequencies from the signal instead. Recognising a spurious response by its offset is how the mixing order responsible for it is identified.
