Q

Harmonic radiation by a transmitter may be prevented:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Harmonic radiation and why it occurs in RF (radio frequency) power amplifiers • Difference between crystal filters (usually at low-level stages or IF/oscillator frequencies) and tuned filters in the RF output line • Role of shielding (Faraday shield) versus filtering for controlling unwanted frequencies

💭 Think About

• Think about where harmonics are created in a transmitter and what part of the system is usually used to clean up the signal before it reaches the antenna. • Consider what a crystal filter is normally used for in radio systems—does it typically operate at the high‑power RF output stage or earlier in the chain? • Ask whether a Faraday shield stops specific unwanted frequencies (like harmonics) or mainly reduces coupling/stray radiation between circuits.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options involve frequency-selective filtering of the RF output (not just general shielding). • Consider whether a crystal filter can practically handle the final RF power level going to the antenna. • Decide whether a Faraday shield is designed to suppress specific harmonic frequencies or just reduce overall electromagnetic coupling.
