The circuit used in an AM transmitter to bring the oscillator frequency up to the designed frequency required for carrier wave operation is

a frequency multiplier

To achieve AM, what device is used to ensure the output signal contains frequencies not present in the input signal?

Non-linear amplifier

The frequencies created by the heterodyning process in an AM transmitter modulator are the

sum and difference

Which is not a basic characteristic that can vary in a modulating wave or signal?

Rate

In an FM signal, the amount of frequency modulation is controlled by the modulating signal's

amplitude

In an FM transmitter, the frequency of the oscillator is controlled by the

reactance modulator

selection

In a typical AM superheterodyne receiver, the process used to tune two or more circuits with a single control is called

In a typical AM superheterodyne receiver, the heterodyning process produces four frequencies; they are the two basic input frequencies, their sum, and their difference. The difference frequency is known as the

intermediate frequency

The purpose of the limiter circuit in an FM receiver is to

remove amplitude variation from the intermediate frequency signal

FM modulation signals provide much more realistic sound reproduction than AM signals because

of an increase in the number of sidebands

The two advantages of using a single-sideband receiver over an AM receiver are the ability to place

more signals in a small portion of the frequency spectrum and a narrower receiver bandpass

The basic difference between the single-sideband receiver and a conventional superheterodyne reciever is that the single-sideband receiver uses a

special detector and carrier reinsertion oscillator

A major drawback in using a single-sideband receiver over an amplitude modulated receiver is the

need for critical frequency stability
