2. RF power amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_power_amplifier

   A radio-frequency power amplifier (RF power amplifier) is a type of electronic amplifier that converts a low-power radio-frequency (RF) signal into a higher-power signal. [1] Typically, RF power amplifiers are used in the final stage of a radio transmitter , their output driving the antenna .

3. Intermediate-frequency amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate-frequency...

   IF amplifiers in heterodyne receivers apply gain in a frequency band between the input radio frequency and output audio frequency or video frequency, often following one stage of RF amplifier. This allows most of the gain in the form of a fixed-frequency amplifier, simplifying tuning. Compare to its predecessor, the tuned RF receiver.

4. Tuned radio frequency receiver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_radio_frequency_receiver

   A tuned radio frequency receiver (or TRF receiver) is a type of radio receiver that is composed of one or more tuned radio frequency (RF) amplifier stages followed by a detector (demodulator) circuit to extract the audio signal and usually an audio frequency amplifier. This type of receiver was popular in the 1920s.

5. Radio receiver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver

   The fixed frequency allows modern receivers to use sophisticated quartz crystal, ceramic resonator, or surface acoustic wave (SAW) IF filters that have very high Q factors, to improve selectivity. The RF filter on the front end of the receiver is needed to prevent interference from any radio signals at the image frequency. Without an input ...

6. Linear amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_amplifier

   Class-D amplifiers use switching technology to achieve high efficiency, often exceeding 90%, thereby requiring less power to operate, compared with that of other amplifier types. Because of the digital train used to drive the amplifier, many do not consider the Class-D amplifier a linear amplifier, yet many audio and radio manufacturers have ...

7. Inductive output tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_output_tube

   The inductive output tube (IOT) or klystrode is a variety of linear-beam vacuum tube, similar to a klystron, used as a power amplifier for high frequency radio waves. It evolved in the 1980s to meet increasing efficiency requirements for high-power RF amplifiers in radio transmitters. [ 1 ]

8. Traveling-wave-tube amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling-wave_tube

   There are a number of RF amplifier tubes that operate in a similar fashion to the TWT, known collectively as velocity-modulated tubes. The best known example is the klystron. All of these tubes use the same basic "bunching" of electrons to provide the amplification process, and differ largely in what process causes the velocity modulation to occur.

9. Radio transmitter design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_transmitter_design

   For high power, high frequency systems it is normal to use valves, see Valve RF amplifier for details of how valved RF power stages work. Valves are electrically very robust, they can tolerate overloads which would destroy bipolar transistor systems in milliseconds. As a result, valved amplifiers may resist mistuning, lightning and power surges ...
