The responses I've received have confused me.
What is the highest frequency that can be received on a 150 khz AM
radio receiver? Is it 150 khz, 300 khz, 75 khz, or 60 khz?
What is the bandwidth of the receiver? That is the limiting factor.
150 Khz
Some of the responses have told me that Nyquist theorem means that the
frequency of the station must be at least 2x [and due to physical
limitations, at least 2.5x] that of the highest frequency of the
modulation [audio] signal. Other responses have said different. Some
have said 150 khz can contain a modulation signal of 300 khz.
Which should I believe??
What are you attempting to do?
Find out the highest possible frequency of modulation that a 150 khz AM
station can transmit or receive.
In a previous post you said the bandwidth of the receiver is 150 kHz. Now
you say the carrier frequency of the signal is 150 kHz, So we can assume
the
bandwidth extends to 75 kHz above and below the carrier. Is this what you
assume for the receiver? If not then make your assumption set more
explicit.
Okay. Let me make a modification. Lets make the the the bandwidth of
the receiver 150 Ghz [notice that 'G'] but keep the carrier frequency
of 150 Khz. Now, what is the maximum frequency the the modulation can
be? I guess its 750 Mhz. Do I guess correctly?
What is the lowest physically-possible frequency of an AM station that
will allow me to hear a 20,000 khz tone on the receiver?
Are you assuming a standard double sideband signal, or a single sideband
signal?
Standard.
If the carrier frequency is 1 hz but the bandwidth of the reciever is
40 Khz, then could I [at least in theory] hear anything on the speaker
of the receiver?
Surely a 1 hz station wouldn't work for this [DUH!!!!]
