US Army Test and Evaluation Command Test Operations Procedures Radio Receiver, Spurious Response

Abstract

This TOP determines and measures the spurious responses of AM/FM radio receivers by using commonly available test instrumentation. It has general applicability to all receivers, including image, intermediate frequency (IF) feed-through, local oscillator related, and extraneously produced spurious responses. Spurious responses are signals propagated at frequencies outside of the tuned principal response frequency to which the receiver responds with measurable output power. They reveal frequencies where the receiver is most susceptible to undesired signals (jamming).
