What effect does an over-coupled intermediate frequency transformer pair have?

  • A.A double-humped response with a dip in the middle
  • B.A much narrower response than a single tuned circuit would give
  • C.Complete loss of gain at the transformer's nominal centre frequency
  • D.A steady shift of the centre frequency with the applied signal level

Answer: A

Over-coupling produces two peaks with a dip between them, which broadens the passband at the cost of a flat top. It is deliberately used where a wider response is wanted, as in FM sets. Critical coupling gives the flattest single peak, and under-coupling a narrower and lower one. There is no loss of gain at centre and no level-dependent shift. Coupling is a design parameter with a continuum of useful settings rather than a single correct value.
