Explain in details about the terms “alarm” and “detector”.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The device which provides a warning signal is known as an alarm and it works with the help of a detector when the minimum acceptable protection level is exceeded. An alarm plays a key role in the security systems of mines, residential buildings, and industries.
Example: Smoke alarms, Heat alarms, and Carbon monoxide alarms (alarms for explosive gases).
A detector is the device which has a sensor in the circuit. Sensor responds to the physical stimulus such as smoke, heat or some explosive gases.
Example: Smoke detectors, Heat detectors, and explosive gas detectors.
An alarm works with the co-ordination of a detector which has a pre-programmed sensor for the minimum acceptable levels of smoke, or heat, and so on, based on the application of an alarm.
Conclusion:
Thus, the terms “alarm” and “detector” are explained.

First, we note that R2 and C3 form a first order low pass filter and L3 and C4 form another low pass filter. Both low pass filters have been set at the same cutoff frequency. The combination of both form a two stage filter to remove the high frequency content present in the DAB signal. Capacitor C5 is used to remove any residual DC offset in the signal. But let's just deal with the AC steady state response, which means that you don't need to know any of these details, and then can conveniently treat this circuit as a blackbox.
