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]
The term radio receiver is understood in this article to mean any device which is intended to receive a radio signal in order to generate useful information from the signal, most notably a recreation of the so-called baseband signal (such as audio) which modulated the radio signal at the time of transmission in a communications or broadcast system.
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.
The block diagram below shows the basic elements and arrangement of a PLL based frequency synthesizer. Block diagram of a common type of PLL synthesizer. The key to the ability of a frequency synthesizer to generate multiple frequencies is the divider placed between the output and the feedback input.
Frequency mixer symbol. In electronics, a mixer, or frequency mixer, is an electrical circuit that creates new frequencies from two signals applied to it.In its most common application, two signals are applied to a mixer, and it produces new signals at the sum and difference of the original frequencies.
A radio transmitter design has to meet certain requirements. These include the frequency of operation, the type of modulation, the stability and purity of the resulting signal, the efficiency of power use, and the power level required to meet the system design objectives. [1]
A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. [1] They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design , electronic design , software design , and process flow diagrams .
RF module (with a ruler for size reference) An RF module (short for radio-frequency module) is a (usually) small electronic device used to transmit and/or receive radio signals between two devices. In an embedded system it is often desirable to communicate with another device wirelessly.
