The intermediate frequency (IF) of an AM superheterodyne receiver is 450 kHz and the localoscilliator frequency (FLO) of the mixer is set at the higher of the two possible values, such that fLO>fc always. If the carrier frequency (fc) of the received signal is 650 kHz, then thecarrier frequency of the corresponding image signal will be equal to_______kHz.
1550

Solution
The correct option is A 1550 Given that, fc=650kHz,IF=450kHzfLO>fcSo, the carrier frequency of the corresponding image signal can be given as,fi=fc+2(IF)=650+2(450)=1550kHz
