Two receivers are compared.

ParameterReceiver AReceiver B
Noise figure4 dB10 dB
IF bandwidth6 kHz2.4 kHz
Shape factor3.01.5

Which is better suited to a crowded band?

  • A.Receiver A, because its lower noise figure gives better sensitivity
  • B.Neither, since the two differ in more than one parameter at once
  • C.Both equally, because bandwidth and noise figure offset each other
  • D.Receiver B, for its narrower and steeper filter

Answer: D

On a crowded band interference dominates, so Receiver B wins on the two parameters that matter, a narrower passband and much steeper skirts, despite its poorer noise figure. Receiver A would be the better choice on a quiet band. The comparison is decidable precisely because the environment names which parameter is limiting, and without that context neither receiver is simply better.
