Question #3Radio Theory and Communication Principles

If a super hetero dyne radio receiver is tuned to 1255 KHz & the IF frequency is 455KHz, then the frequency of the local oscillator of the receiver is

  1. 1255 KHz
  2. 800 KHz
  3. 1710 KHz ✓ Correct answer
  4. 455 KHz
Explanation: For a conventional high-side oscillator, LO = 1255 + 455 = 1710 kHz.
