Frequency of receivers to receive each others transmission.

In summary, the question is asking for the common frequency that two receivers should be tuned to in order to receive a frequency of 17.5MHz from two transmitters. The answer is 54.0MHz, but there may be some confusion in the problem statement. It is suggested to possibly consider a heterodyning aspect.

Homework Statement



I need to calculate the frequency which the receivers should be tuned to too receive one another frequency. Both are transmitting at a frequency of 17.5 MHz. I know the answer should be 54.0MHz.

Homework Equations



Unsure

The Attempt at a Solution



Unsure of how to find the common frequency, I know your suppose to show how you attempted the question but am unsure how to even start. If someone could offer me a formula to start. I'm sure its an easy question, I am a bit stumped tho. Thanks

When I set up a circuit, I tune the receiver to the frequency the transmitter is tuned to (modulo possible offsets due to emission type). Perhaps there is some confusion in the statement of the problem.

Welcome to the PF. I agree with tms about not understanding your problem statement. If you have two transmitters at 17.5MHz, why would the receiver not be tuned to 17.5MHz as well? Is there some heterodyning part to the question perhaps?
 

FAQ: Frequency of receivers to receive each others transmission.

What is the significance of frequency in receivers receiving each other's transmission?

The frequency of a signal determines the rate at which data is transmitted and received. This can affect the speed and quality of communication between receivers.

How does frequency impact the range of communication between receivers?

Higher frequencies generally have a shorter range of transmission, while lower frequencies can travel longer distances. This is because higher frequencies are more easily absorbed by obstacles, such as walls or buildings, while lower frequencies can penetrate through them.

What factors influence the frequency of receivers?

The frequency of a receiver can be influenced by various factors, such as the type of antenna used, the distance between receivers, and the power of the transmitter. Additionally, different frequency bands are allocated for specific purposes, such as radio broadcasting or satellite communication.

Can receivers with different frequencies communicate with each other?

In most cases, receivers with different frequencies cannot communicate with each other. They must be tuned to the same frequency in order to transmit and receive data effectively. However, some devices, such as routers, can operate on multiple frequencies to enable communication with different devices.

How is frequency regulated in communication systems?

The use of frequencies in communication systems is regulated by government agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States. They allocate specific frequency bands for different purposes and enforce rules to prevent interference between different devices using the same frequency.
