(a) Phase detector
(d) Parallel tuned circuit
(c) Voltage-controlled oscillator
(d) Low-pass filter.
Answers
1. (b) All the voltages are measured with respect to the ground voltage. The ground voltage is considered to be 0 V. As the name suggested, a single-ended differential amplifier amplifies the signal that is given through only one of the input.
2. (d)
CMRR = ADM/ACM
= 3500/0.35
= 10,000
= 20log(10,000)
= 80 dB
3. (b)
4. (a)
f = 1/2πR1C1
= 1/(2)(3.14)(2.5x103)(0.05 x 10-6)
= 1273 Hz
= 1.273 kHz
5. (d)
6. (c)
Advantages of RC coupled amplifier
- It makes use of resistors and capacitors which are not expensive, so the cost of RC coupled amplifier is low.
- The circuit is very compact and extremely light.
- The frequency response of RC coupled amplifier is excellent.
- It offers a constant gain over a wide frequency range.
Disadvantages of RC coupled amplifier
- It has low voltage and power gain.
- It is unsuitable for low frequency application.
- It has the tendency to become noisy with times.
- It has narrow bandwidth.
8. (c)
9. (a) In direct FM, as the information signal is received, the instantaneous frequency is directly varied with the information signal. While an oscillator is used to change the carrier frequency where its resonant frequency is determined by variable components.
10. (d) A phase-locked loop is a control system that generates an output signal whose phase is related to the phase of an input signal. The circuit can track an input frequency, or it can generate a frequency that is a multiple of the input frequency. The basic elements of a PLL circuit are phase comparator/detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
