Is this an exam question?

If "tweaking" the slugs for a more than six times reduction in bandwidth
doesn't break anything your signal/noise should go up by around 8dB --
you'll lose than 8dB of noise, but you'll also lose a bit of the signal's
sidebands.

Your pulses will be way distorted, though.

Did I pass?

Hey all,

My current I.F. bandwidth is 8mhz at the 6db points. I am looking at

pulses
of .8microseconds length, or about 1.25mhz. If all else remains the same,
and I change the swamping resistors, and tweak the slugs for a 1.5mhz I.F.
bandwidth at the 6db points, what increase in signal to noise ratio should
I see?
