Electronic filters play an essential role in the operation of FM radio receivers. It selects a limited range of frequencies from the incoming radio signal. Radio engineers carefully choose the filter design as its frequency range, called bandwidth, determines the quality of the signal. If the bandwidth is too wide, the sound becomes noisy; if it is too narrow, speech and music become unrecognizable. Though consumer FM radios have a standard filter width, specialty radios have narrow filters for long-distance listening.

Microsoft Windows is distributed in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The different releases of the operating system are optimized for computers with different types of registers. Since computers with a 64-bit register can hold store more data than computers with 32-bit register, the 64-bit version of Windows can handle larger amounts of random access memory than the 32-bit version. As a result, many applications are available in different editions for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. However, this is not the case with VLC. The free media player is available in only one version for Windows that is supported by both 32-bit and…
