🔍 Key Concepts

• Intermediate frequency (IF) in a superheterodyne receiver and what happens if signals/oscillators are very close to that IF • The purpose of an oscillator in a receiver and how unwanted oscillations can create feedback or self-oscillation • How interference near the IF affects audio output quality (stability, noise, howl)

💭 Think About

• Think about what normally produces an audible beat note in a receiver—where does that mixing usually happen, and between which two frequencies? • If an internal oscillator happens to be near the IF, would that generally improve sensitivity, or is it more likely to introduce some kind of instability or interference? • Which of the choices describe a negative side effect that fits with unwanted oscillation or feedback at or near the IF?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a normal intended function in a receiver vs. an unwanted side effect • Ask whether an oscillator near IF would typically be used to increase sensitivity, or whether that’s usually done with RF/IF amplifiers instead • Focus on which answer choices clearly imply unstable, noisy, or feedback-like behavior in the audio output when something oscillates near IF
