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 crystal radio, the simplest type of radio receiver which was invented in the early 1900s and widely used until vacuum tube receivers replaced it.
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 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 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.
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 ...
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 ...
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]
