Question

3. A transmission system at a radio station uses a/an _______ to convert a direct current into a high-frequency alternating current. A. transmitting antenna B. modulator C. demodulator D. oscillator

Answer 1

A transmission system at a radio station consists of essentially the following devices:

1. An oscillator, which converts a direct current into a high-frequency alternating current.

2. A transmitting antenna, which sends out radio waves having the same frequency as the current supplied by the oscillator.

3. A microphone, which picks up the sound waves and converts them into a suitable electric current with the same pattern as the sound waves.

4. A modulator, which enables the waves produced by the antenna to “carry” the pattern of the sound waves picked up by the microphone.

The answer is D. Oscillator

Answer 2

D is correct just took the test.
