In a single-sideband transmitter, which stage allows you to adjust the final transmit frequency?
- ASideband filter
- BBalanced modulator
- CVariable frequency oscillator
- DAntenna tuner
Correct answer: C — Variable frequency oscillator. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The Variable frequency oscillator sets the base radio wave that gets shifted to your chosen channel, so changing its speed directly moves your final transmit frequency. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
