What is the practical consequence of raising the intermediate frequency in a single conversion set?

  • A.The local oscillator must cover a much wider frequency ratio
  • B.The mixer's conversion loss increases in direct proportion to it
  • C.The detector requires a longer load time constant to smooth the carrier
  • D.Adjacent channel filtering becomes harder

Answer: D

The cost of the improvement is that a narrow, steep filter is much harder to build at a higher frequency, so adjacent channel selectivity suffers. The oscillator's ratio actually narrows slightly with a larger offset. Conversion loss does not scale that way. And the detector's time constant becomes easier rather than harder to satisfy. Naming the price alongside the benefit is what turns a fact about a parameter into a design judgement.
