Question
In the given block diagram of a receiver, identify the boxes labeled as X and Y and write their functions.

Solution
X → If stage → Intermediate frequency stage to change the carrier frequency to lower frequency.
Y → Amplifier → It amplifies the signal i.e. it increase the amplitude of the detected signal to compensate the attenuation of the signal. The detected signal may not be strong enough to use.

Identify devices that can be used for modulation.
An audio signal of 15kHz frequency cannot be transmitted over long distances without modulation because ______.
- the size of the required antenna would be at least 5 km which is not convenient.
- the audio signal can not be transmitted through sky waves.
- the size of the required antenna would be at least 20 km, which is not convenient.
