English: Block diagram of a tuned radio frequency (TRF) receiver, the simplest type of amplifying radio receiver circuit. It consists of one or more tuned RF amplifiers, each consisting of a tuned circuit which functioned as a bandpass filter followed by a radio frequency (RF) amplifier; a detector (demodulator) to extract the audio waveform from the radio carrier wave; followed by an audio ...

English: Block diagram of a simple reflex radio receiver, an unusual type of radio receiver invented by Marius Latour and William Preiss in 1917 that was used to a limited extent in the 1920s. The distinguishing feature of the reflex circuit is that the amplifier is used to amplify both the radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals ...
In order to achieve both good adjacent channel selectivity and image rejection, the double-conversion receiver uses two intermediate frequencies (IFs). The incoming radio frequency (RF) signal from the antenna is first mixed with a sinusoidal signal from the 1st local oscillator (LO) to give a high 1st IF frequency.
English: Block diagram of a single conversion superheterodyne radio receiver. Invented by Edwin Armstrong in 1918 during World War 1, the superheterodyne is the design used in almost all modern radio receivers.
A crystal set receiver consisting of an antenna, a variable inductor, a cat's whisker, and a filter capacitor. A crystal receiver is very simple and can be easy to make or even improvise, for example, the foxhole radio. However, the crystal radio needs a strong RF signal and a long antenna to operate.

English: Block diagram of a regenerative radio receiver, a type of radio receiver widely used before World War 2. It consists of a tuned circuit that serves as a bandpass filter to select the desired radio signal out of all the signals picked up by the antenna, and a combined amplifier-detector to increase the power of the signal and extract the audio modulation (sound) signal from from the ...
