Question

If a receiver is overly selective:

A) the tank circuits within the tuned amplifiers have insufficient Q.
B) too much noise is picked up and amplified by the receiver.
C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.
D) the volume control is turned up to maximum, the desired station is very weak.

Answer 1

C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.

If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.
