  1. The figure in a receiver's specifications which indicates its sensitivity is the:
    1. bandwidth of the IF in kilohertz
    2. audio output in watts
    3. signal plus noise to noise ratio
    4. number of RF amplifiers

  2. The abbreviation AGC means:
    1. attenuating gain capacitor
    2. automatic gain control
    3. anode-grid capacitor
    4. amplified grid conductance

  3. The audio output transformer in a receiver is required to:
    1. step up the audio gain
    2. protect the loudspeaker from high currents
    3. improve the audio tone
    4. match the output impedance of the audio amplifier to the speaker

  4. In the transmitter block diagram shown, the "driver buffer":
    1. filters any sharp edges from the input signal
    2. drives the power amplifier into saturation
    3. provides isolation between the oscillator and power amplifier
    4. changes the frequency of the master oscillator signal

  5. The signal from a balanced modulator consists of:
    1. a carrier and two sidebands
    2. a carrier and one sideband
    3. no carrier and two sidebands
    4. no carrier and one sideband
