The frequency generated by each decade in a direct frequency synthesizer is much higher than the frequency shown; this is done to

Increase the frequency stability of the synthesizer
Reduce the number of crystals required
Reduce the number of decades
Reduce the spurious frequency problem

In a radio receiver with simple AGC

The faster the AGC time constant the more accurate the output
The audio stage gain is normally controlled by the AGC
An increase in signal strength produces more AGC
The highest AGC voltage is produced

Show which of the following statements about the amplitude limiter is untrue:

When the input increases past the threshold of the limiting, the gain decreases to keep the output constant.
Leak-type bias must be used
The circuit is always biased in class C, by virtue of the leak-type bias.
The output must be tuned
