Which of these measurements is a good indicator of VHF receiver performance in an environment of strong out-of-band signals?
- ATwo-tone Third-Order IMD Dynamic Range, 10 MHz spacing
- BThird-Order Intercept Point
- CBlocking Dynamic Range
- DIntermediate frequency rejection ratio
Correct answer: A — Two-tone Third-Order IMD Dynamic Range, 10 MHz spacing. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Two-tone Third-Order IMD Dynamic Range, 10 MHz spacing measures how well a receiver handles two strong signals close to your desired frequency without creating new, unwanted signals that mask weak stations. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
