What advantage does an up-converting receiver have on the high frequency bands?

  • A.The image falls far outside the tuning range
  • B.The oscillator needs no ganging to the front-end tuned circuits
  • C.Its detector can be simpler than in a down-converting design
  • D.The intermediate frequency filter can be made much narrower

Answer: A

With a first intermediate frequency above the highest signal frequency, the image lies beyond the band the receiver covers and a simple low-pass filter rejects it completely. That is why general coverage receivers convert 0 to 30 MHz up to 45 MHz or higher. Ganging is still needed or replaced by synthesis. The detector is unaffected. And a high intermediate frequency makes narrow filtering harder, which is why a second conversion usually follows. Moving a problem outside the range of interest is often better than solving it.
