Question 491

What parameter evaluates distortion of an AFSK signal caused by excessive input audio levels?

  1. Signal-to-noise ratio
  2. Baud error rate
  3. Repeat Request Rate (RRR)
  4. Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)Correct answer

Explanation

Overdriving an audio input makes the stage non-linear, and non-linearity mixes the signal components together to produce new frequencies at their sums and differences. Measuring those intermodulation products relative to the wanted signal therefore quantifies exactly this defect.
