Question:

Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

In a diode AM detector, the output circuit consists of R = 1 k\(\Omega\) and C = 10 pF. A carrier signal of 100 kHz is to be detected. 

Is it good ?

Options:

Yes

No

In certain wavelengths, it is good.

It depends upon the weather conditions.

Correct Answer:

No

Explanation:

Condition for demodulation : \(\tau\) >> Tc

\(\tau\) = R C ; T= \(\frac{1}{\nu_{c}}|)

R = 1 k\(\Omega\) ; C = 10 pF ; \(\nu\) = 100 kHz

\(\tau\) = 10-8 s ; T= 10-5 s

Since, \(\tau\) < T, it is no good.
