1. What is the effect of excessive phase noise in the local oscillator section of a receiver? E4C01 A. It limits the receiver ability to receive strong signals B. It reduces the receiver sensitivity C. It decreases the receiver third-order intermodulation distortion dynamic range D. It can cause strong signals on nearby frequencies to interfere with reception of weak signals

6. What is meant by the blocking dynamic range of a receiver? E4D01 A. The difference in dB between the level of an incoming signal which will cause 1 dB of gain compression, and the level of the noise floor B. The minimum difference in dB between the levels of two FM signals which will cause one signal to block the other C. The difference in dB between the noise floor and the third order intercept point D. The minimum difference in dB between two signals which produce third order intermodulation products greater than the noise floor

E4D05 A. 146.34 MHz and 146.61 MHz B. 146.88 MHz and 146.34 MHz C. 146.10 MHz and 147.30 MHz D. 73.35 MHz and 239.40 MHz

8. Why are third-order intermodulation products within a receiver of particular interest compared to other products? E4D11 A. The third-order product of two signals which are in the band is itself likely to be within the band B. The third-order intercept is much higher than other orders C. Third-order products are an indication of poor image rejection D. Third-order intermodulation produces three products for every input signal
