What is one of the great advantages of the diode (envelope)detector?
A)75% efficiency obtainable
B)Distortion increases as amplitude decreases
C)Can handle low power signals
D)Simplicity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The great advantage of the diode detector is its simplicity. It is easy to build and has a low component count. Option A is incorrect because the efficiency obtainable is typically around 50%. Option B is incorrect because distortion actually decreases as amplitude decreases. Option C is partially correct but not the best choice, as the diode detector is better suited for handling high power signals.
