These emissions, if prop- erly characterized, enable the prompt and accurate detection of explosive threats. The following dissertation develops and evaluates techniques for detecting and locat- ing common electronic initiators. The unintended emissions of radio receivers and microcontrollers are analyzed. These emissions are low-power radio signals that result from the device's normal operation.

  • Chapter 2 Radio Receiver Characteristics
    Source: Communications Receivers: DSP, Software Radios, and Design Chapter 1 Basic Radio Considerations 1.1 Radio Communications Systems The capability of radio waves to provide almost instantaneous distant communications without interconnecting wires was a major factor in the explosive growth of communica- tions during the 20th century. With the dawn of the 21st century, the future for communi- cations systems seems limitless. The invention of the vacuum tube made radio a practical and affordable communications medium. The replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors and integrated circuits allowed the development of a wealth of complex communications systems, which have become an integral part of our society. The development of digital signal processing (DSP) has added a new dimension to communications, enabling sophis- ticated, secure radio systems at affordable prices. In this book, we review the principles and design of modern single-channel radio receiv- ers for frequencies below approximately 3 GHz. While it is possible to design a receiver to meet specified requirements without knowing the system in which it is to be used, such ig- norance can prove time-consuming and costly when the inevitable need for design compro- mises arises. We strongly urge that the receiver designer take the time to understand thor- oughly the system and the operational environment in which the receiver is to be used. Here we can outline only a few of the wide variety of systems and environments in which radio re- ceivers may be used. Figure 1.1 is a simplified block diagram of a communications system that allows the transfer of information between a source where information is generated and a destination that requires it.

This book or any parts there may not be reproduced in any form or in any language without permission. SECOND EDITION Library of Congress Catalog Number 6J-20JJ6 Printed in the United States of America PREFACE The utilization of heterodyning action in receiver design via local oscillator, mixer, or converter action marks one of the major steps in the advance of communications. Application of the basic prin­ ciples of superheterodyne operation solved many of the problems inherent in the earlier tuned radio frequency receivers. Such factors as receiver stability, gain, selectivity, and uniform bandpass over an entire band could be improved by using the superheterodyne receiver. The reasons for the enormous popularity of this design are apparent, as is the need for the technician to understand the theory and operation of superheterodyne converters and i-f ampli­ fiers. This book is organized to provide the student with an under­ standing of these fundamental principles, with emphasis on the descriptive treatment and analyses. Mathematical formulas or numerical examples are presented where pertinent and necessary to illustrate the discussion more fully. Specific attention has been given to the essential theory of mixers and converters; basic superheterodyne operation; arithmetic selec­ tivity; image frequency considerations; double conversion; conver­ sion efficiency; oscillator tracking; pulling and squegging; types of converters (both early and modern) ; functions and design factors of i-f amplifiers; choices of i-f frequencies; ave and davc; the Miller effect; and the consideration of alignment procedures.
