Question 176

Which of the following might be useful in reducing RF interference to audio frequency circuits?

  1. Bypass inductor
  2. Bypass capacitorCorrect answer
  3. Forward-biased diode
  4. Reverse-biased diode

Explanation

A capacitor's reactance falls as frequency rises, so a small bypass capacitor placed across an audio input looks like a near short circuit at HF while remaining an open circuit at audio frequencies. The RF is shunted to ground before it can be rectified in the audio stage, and the wanted audio passes unaffected.
