← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased susceptibility to interference when tuning a radio receiver?
A)Increased intermediate frequency bandwidth
B)Enhanced local oscillator stability
C)Decreased quality (Q) factor✓
D)Elevated automatic gain control threshold
💡 Explanation
A decreased Q factor broadens the resonant bandwidth, because bandwidth expansion is inversely proportional to Q through the resonance mechanism. Therefore radio picks up unwanted signals rather than solely desired frequency band, due to increased susceptibility.
