Parasitic oscillations would tend to occur mostly in:
- Ahigh voltage rectifiers
- Bmixer stages
- CRF power output stages
- Dhigh gain audio output stages
Correct answer: C — RF power output stages. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Parasitic oscillations are unwanted radio signals that sneak into a circuit, and they happen most often in RF power output stages because these parts handle the strongest signals and highest voltages. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
