i need help with this one!
A 100KHz oscillator that's followed by a doubler and two triplers will produce an output of frequency....
a.) 180 kHz
b.) 500 "
c.) 800 "
d.) 1.8 "
If all are in kHz, no anwer. If d is in Ghz...
100*2*3*3=
I couldn't get one of the available answers, either.
To determine the output frequency, we need to understand how the oscillator, doubler, and triplers work together.
1. Oscillator: The oscillator generates a frequency of 100 kHz.
2. Doubler: The doubler takes the input frequency and doubles it. So, the output frequency after the doubler will be 2 times the input frequency, which is 200 kHz.
3. Triplers: The two triplers take the doubled input frequency and triple it. Therefore, the output frequency after each tripler will be 3 times the input frequency.
To calculate the final output frequency, we need to go through each stage step-by-step:
1. Start with the input frequency from the oscillator: 100 kHz.
2. Double the frequency using the doubler: 100 kHz x 2 = 200 kHz.
3. Triple the frequency using the first tripler: 200 kHz x 3 = 600 kHz.
4. Triple the frequency again using the second tripler: 600 kHz x 3 = 1800 kHz.
Now, we have determined that the output frequency after the oscillator, doubler, and two triplers will be 1800 kHz.
Therefore, the correct answer is d.) 1.8 MHz (since 1 kHz = 0.001 MHz).
Note: The given answer choices are in kHz, so you should convert the answer to kHz by dividing by 1000 (1.8 MHz / 1000 = 1800 kHz).
