(b) A double zuperhetreceiver is tuned to receive signals at L45 MIIz. The first local
oscillator operatesbelow the signal frequency and the second operates above the
ftst I.F. If the I.F. frequenciesare 33lvfrfz and 10.7 l!fiIz, determine all possible
i-age frequencies. (8)
( c) When a single superhet receiver is tuned to 555 kl{a its local oscillator is set at
l0l0 kllz. The receiver antenna is connected to the mixer via a tuned circuit
whose loaded Q is 40. What will be 1ftsimage-frequencyrejection ratio in dB ? (8)
