Question B-008-001-010

A television receiver suffers interference on channel 5 (76 - 82 MHz) only when you transmit on 14 MHz. From your home you see the tower of a commercial FM station known to broadcast on 92.5 MHz. Which of these solutions would you try first?

Correct Answer

Insert a high pass filter at the antenna connector of the television

Explanation

The interference pattern suggests a possible mix in the TV receiver. The strong FM signal (92.5 MHz) and your 14 MHz signal might be mixing. A high-pass filter attenuates your 14 MHz signal before it enters the TV, preventing the mix. (A notch filter for 92.5 MHz might also work).
