  • Superheterodyne Receiver
    Superheterodyne Receiver The received RF-signals must transformed in a videosignal to get the wanted informations from the echoes. This transformation is made by a super heterodyne receiver. The main components of the typical superheterodyne receiver are shown on the following picture: Figure 1: Block diagram of a Superheterodyne The superheterodyne receiver changes the rf frequency into an easier to process lower IF- frequency. This IF- frequency will be amplified and demodulated to get a videosignal. The Figure shows a block diagram of a typical superheterodyne receiver. The RF-carrier comes in from the antenna and is applied to a filter. The output of the filter are only the frequencies of the desired frequency-band. These frequencies are applied to the mixer stage. The mixer also receives an input from the local oscillator. These two signals are beat together to obtain the IF through the process of heterodyning. There is a fixed difference in frequency between the local oscillator and the rf-signal at all times by tuning the local oscillator. This difference in frequency is the IF. this fixed difference an ganged tuning ensures a constant IF over the frequency range of the receiver. The IF-carrier is applied to the IF-amplifier. The amplified IF is then sent to the detector. The output of the detector is the video component of the input signal. Image-frequency Filter A low-noise RF amplifier stage ahead of the converter stage provides enough selectivity to reduce the image-frequency response by rejecting these unwanted signals and adds to the sensitivity of the receiver.

  • Variable Capacitors in RF Circuits
    Source: Secrets of RF Circuit Design 1 CHAPTER Introduction to RF electronics Radio-frequency (RF) electronics differ from other electronics because the higher frequencies make some circuit operation a little hard to understand. Stray capacitance and stray inductance afflict these circuits. Stray capacitance is the capacitance that exists between conductors of the circuit, between conductors or components and ground, or between components. Stray inductance is the normal in- ductance of the conductors that connect components, as well as internal component inductances. These stray parameters are not usually important at dc and low ac frequencies, but as the frequency increases, they become a much larger proportion of the total. In some older very high frequency (VHF) TV tuners and VHF communi- cations receiver front ends, the stray capacitances were sufficiently large to tune the circuits, so no actual discrete tuning capacitors were needed. Also, skin effect exists at RF. The term skin effect refers to the fact that ac flows only on the outside portion of the conductor, while dc flows through the entire con- ductor. As frequency increases, skin effect produces a smaller zone of conduction and a correspondingly higher value of ac resistance compared with dc resistance. Another problem with RF circuits is that the signals find it easier to radiate both from the circuit and within the circuit. Thus, coupling effects between elements of the circuit, between the circuit and its environment, and from the environment to the circuit become a lot more critical at RF. Interference and other strange effects are found at RF that are missing in dc circuits and are negligible in most low- frequency ac circuits.

  • 5 RCA 26 Receiver
    5 RCA 26 receiver- portables was not particularly difficult at the time. By contrast, designing a workable superheterodyne receiver wasn't particularly easy in 1925, as the valves that were then available were not very suitable for the task of frequency conversion. In fact, the design could be quite critical if the set was to operate at all. That situation improved in the early 1930s with the development of the. 2A7 and similar converter type valves. These new valves proved to be quite tolerant of circuit design inadequacies, making the design and manufacture of superhet receivers much easier. ..^.
