Which single change most improves a receiver's image rejection without touching the front end?

  • A.Adding a second intermediate frequency amplifier stage for more gain
  • B.Slowing the automatic gain control loop's decay time constant
  • C.Raising the intermediate frequency
  • D.Narrowing the intermediate frequency filter's passband further

Answer: C

Raising the intermediate frequency moves the image further out, where the existing preselector attenuates it more, and it requires no change to the front end at all. Narrowing the filter cannot help, since the image arrives at the intermediate frequency itself. Extra gain and slower gain control are irrelevant. Where a problem depends on a distance, moving the target is as effective as sharpening the instrument, and often much cheaper.
