BW = 2x maximum frequency of the modulating signal.
= 2 × 20 = 40 kHz

Correct Option: A

BW = 2x maximum frequency of the modulating signal.
= 2 × 20 = 40 kHz

A superheterodyne receiver is to operate in the frequency range of 550 kHz-1650 kHz with the intermediate frequency of 450 kHz. The receiver is tuned to 700. The capacitance ratio R = C_max/C_min of the local oscillator would be—
