An AM transmitter has a frequency tolerance of ± 1kHz and is transmitting a signal of bandwidth 5kHz in the 20m band. The transmitted signal is checked by a frequency meter of tolerance 10 parts per 100,000. The highest frequency that can be used to ensure no out-of-band working is
The answer is :- 4
10 parts per 100000 is 100 parts per million, i.e. 100 Hz per
1 MHz = 1435 Hz per 14.35 MHz
= 1.435 kHz per 14.35 MHz
| kHz | |
| Transmitter tolerance | 1 |
| Frequency meter tolerance | 1.435 |
| Half bandwidth | 2.5 |
| 4.935 |
Therefore, highest usable frequency = 14.35 MHz - 4.935 kHz = 14.345065 MHz
Nearest practical value = 14.345 MHz.
