Question 6. An AM receiver uses a diode detector for demodulation. This enables it satisfactorily to receive
  1.    Single-sideband, suppressed-carrier
  2.    Single-sideband, reduced-carrier
  3.    ISB
  4.    Single-sideband, full-carrier
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> Single-sideband, full-carrier

Question 7. Indicate the false statement. Noting that no carrier is transmitter with J3E, we see that
  1.    The receiver cannot use a phase comparator for AFC
  2.    Adjacent-channel rejection is more difficult
  3.    Production of AGC is a rather complicated process
  4.    The transmission is not compatible with A3E
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> Adjacent-channel rejection is more difficult

Question 8. In a ratio detector
  1.    the linearity is worse than in phase discriminator
  2.    stabilization against signal strength variations is provided
  3.    the output is twice that obtainable from a similar phase discriminator
  4.    the circuit is the same as in a discriminator, except that the diodes are reversed
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> the linearity is worse than in phase discriminator

Question 9. In a radio receiver with simple AGC
  1.    An increase in signal strength produces more AGC
  2.    The audio stage gain is normally controlled by the AGC
  3.    The faster the AGC time constant the more accurate the output
  4.    The highest AGC voltage is produced
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> An increase in signal strength produces more AGC
