In telecommunications, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope display in which a digital signal from a receiver is repetitively sampled and applied to the vertical input (y-axis), while the data rate is used to trigger the horizontal sweep (x-axis). It is so called because, for several types of coding, the pattern ...
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 ...
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 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 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]
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 ...
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.
The diagram (right) shows one of the most common single tube reflex circuits from the early 1920s. It functioned as a TRF receiver with one stage of RF and one stage of audio amplification. The radio frequency (RF) signal from the antenna passes through the bandpass filter C 1 , L 1 , L 2 , C 2 and is applied to the grid of the directly heated ...
