Q. A diode AM detector with the output circuit consisting of $R = 1\ kW\ $and$\ C = 1\ \mu F$ would be more suitable for detecting a carrier signal of

A) 0.1 kHz
B) 0.5 kHz
C) 1 kHz
D) 10 kHz
Explanation

(d) Given $R = 1\ k\Omega$
Or $\ R = 1 \times 10^{3}$
$C = 1\mu F$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ C = 1 \times 10^{- 6}\ F$
In this condition frequency of carrier signal
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{1}{R_{c}} < \ < f_{c}$
$\frac{1}{1 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{- 6}} < \ < f_{c}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \therefore f_{c} > \ > 1\ kHz$
Because frequency greater than 1
So $\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f_{c} = 10\ kHz$
