Early radio receivers worked on a principle called Tuned Radio frequency (TRF), patented in 1916. They weren’t very easy to use, requiring each stage to be tuned to the same frequency (until ganged ...
The carrier frequencies for AM operate from 530 kHz to 1610 kHz. Many superheterodyne AM radios use a demodulation circuit designed for 455 kHz. When the listener tunes in a station, an oscillator ...
Receiver ICs with fully integrated VCOs are very welcome to the system designer because there is no need for external VCO components like varactor diodes or inductors. On the other hand, a fully ...
Maxim Integrated adds another device for a much effective RF design as it introduces the MAX7042. The MAX7042 is a low power superheterodyne receiver that employs Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). This ...
