T7A04
Which term describes the ability of a receiver to discriminate between multiple signals?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. Selectivity
Selectivity is a receiver's ability to separate the signal you want from others on nearby frequencies. Good selectivity keeps a nearby strong station from drowning out the one you are listening to. Sensitivity is about hearing weak signals, not separating them.
Tip: Selectivity selects one signal from many.
