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]
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 tuned radio frequency (TRF) receiver, a type of radio receiver circuit invented in 1916 by Ernst Alexanderson and widely used in the vacuum tube receivers of the 1920s.
Block diagram of TRF receiver. The classic TRF receivers of the 1920s and 30s usually consisted of three sections: one or more tuned RF amplifier stages. These amplify the signal of the desired station to a level sufficient to drive the detector, while rejecting all other signals picked up by the antenna.
It consists of an antenna attached to a tuned circuit, which functions as a bandpass filter which allows through the frequency of the desired station while rejecting all the other radio signals picked up by the antenna, followed by a detector consisting of a semiconductor diode which extracts the audio modulation signal (sound) from the radio ...
Block diagram of a tuned radio frequency receiver. To achieve enough selectivity to reject stations on adjacent frequencies, multiple cascaded bandpass filter stages had to be used. The dotted line indicates that the bandpass filters must be tuned together.
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.
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 ...
