    The super heterodyne receiver selects the desired radio frequency signal using an antenna. It converts this signal down to a lower intermediate frequency by mixing it with a local oscillator signal. The intermediate frequency signal then passes through amplifiers to boost the signal before it is demodulated to extract the original information. Automatic gain control circuits help maintain a constant gain throughout the receiver's tuning range.

    Super heterodyne Receiver:

     The RF stage selects the wanted frequency through antenna.

    The RF amplifier not only amplify the desired signal but also rejects the

    unwanted signals. Hence reduction of the noise figure is also achieved.

     The signal with frequency fs is combined with the local oscillator

    frequency f0 and normally converted into a signal of a lower fixed

    frequency.

     Here a constant frequency difference is maintained between local

    oscillator and the RF circuits, through capacitance tuning.

     Normally, all the capacitors are ganged together and operated in fklasdj

    by one control knob.


     The output of the mixed is generally a lower fixed frequency of f0-fs.

     The signal at the intermediate frequency contains the same modulation

    as the original carrier.

     This is passed through IF amplifiers to increase the gain and bandwidth

    requirements.

     The IF amplifier generally uses two or three transformers, each

    consisting of a pair of mutually coupled tuned circuits.

     The characteristics of IF amplifiers are independent of the frequency to

    which the receiver is tuned. Hence gain and selectivity are fairly uniform

    throughout its tuning range.

     Afterwards, the IF signal is demodulated and amplified before to

    reproduce the original information.

     Automate Gain circuits is provided between the output of detector and

    the inputs of RF, mixer and IF amplifier, to maintain gain constant.
