In a superheterodyne receiver, which stage allows detection to function at a single frequency regardless of the received frequency?
- AIF filter
- BDiscriminator
- CMixer
- DLimiter
Correct answer: C — Mixer. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The Mixer is the stage that shifts any incoming radio signal to a fixed intermediate frequency, allowing the rest of the receiver to process it at that single, unchanging value. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
