A 5-tube superheterodyne receiver manufactured by Toshiba circa 1955 Superheterodyne transistor radio circuit circa 1975. A superheterodyne receiver, often shortened to superhet, is a type of radio receiver that uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier 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.
English: Block diagram of a double-conversion superheterodyne receiver a more sophisticated version of the superheterodyne receiver invented in 1918 by Edwin Armstrong and used in many modern radio receivers.
A schematic of a superhet AM receiver. Note that the radio includes an AGC loop in order to maintain the RF and IF stages in their linear region, and to produce an audio output not dependent on the signal power received. Here we show block diagrams for typical superheterodyne receivers for AM and FM broadcast respectively.
Block diagram of a superheterodyne receiver. The RF front end consists of the components on the left colored red. In a radio receiver circuit, the RF front end, short for radio frequency front end, is a generic term for all the circuitry between a receiver's antenna input up to and including the mixer stage. [1]
Block diagram of a typical superheterodyne receiver. Red parts are those that handle the incoming radio frequency (RF) signal; green are parts that operate at the intermediate frequency (IF), while blue parts operate at the modulation (audio) frequency.
Block diagram of a superheterodyne receiver. The dotted line indicates that the RF filter and local oscillator must be tuned in tandem. The superheterodyne receiver, invented in 1918 by Edwin Armstrong [10] is the design used in almost all modern receivers [11] [9] [12] [13] except a few specialized applications.
A block diagram of the direct conversion receiver. The conversion of the modulated signal to baseband is done in a single frequency conversion. This avoids the complexity of the superheterodyne's two (or more) frequency conversions, IF stage(s), and image rejection issues.
