Regenerative receivers require fewer components than other types of receiver circuit, such as the TRF and superheterodyne. The circuit's advantage was that it got much more amplification (gain) out of the expensive vacuum tubes , thus reducing the number of tubes required and therefore the cost of a receiver.
Classical regenerative receiver using a single triode vacuum tube. The orientation of the "tickler" coil was carefully adjusted by the operator in order to vary the amount of positive feedback. The regenerative receiver also had its heyday at the time where adding an active element (vacuum tube) was considered costly. In order to increase the ...
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.
The regenerative radio receiver obtained more gain out of one gain device by using positive feedback, but it required careful adjustment by the operator; that adjustment also changed the selectivity of the regenerative receiver. The superheterodyne provides a large, stable gain and constant selectivity without troublesome adjustment.

Above: Direct modulation, below superheterodyne transmitter. There are two types of transmitters. In some transmitters, the baseband information signal (audio (AF), video (VF) etc.) modulates the radio frequency (RF) signal.
A crystal radio receiver, also called a crystal set, is a simple radio receiver, popular in the early days of radio. It uses only the power of the received radio signal to produce sound, needing no external power.
The reflex receiver should not be confused with a regenerative receiver, in which the same signal is fed back from the output of the amplifier to its input. In the reflex circuit it is only the audio extracted by the demodulator which is added to the amplifier input, so there are two separate signals at different frequencies passing through the ...
