Radio Receiver Circuit ELECTRONICS 10 - Q3 - WEEK3 Opened VHF/UHF tuner of a television set. The antenna connector is on the right  Radio Transmitter Diagram  Radio Transmitter Diagram Choose from the previous figure the component that best describes the statement. 1. It provides an electrical signal to operate the transmitter. 2. It increases the power of the wave. 3. It converts the amplified signal to radio waves. 4. It adds information to the carrier wave. In the case of FM (frequency modulation), the modulator either slightly increases or decreases the frequency of the carrier wave. 5. It creates the alternating current, a carrier wave, that the transmitter sends through the antenna. Radio Receiver is an electronic device that receives and converts the desired radio waves back to audio or visual information. The receiver’s antenna detects and captures radio waves. Basic AM Radio Receiver Diagram  It is a piece or length of wire.It ANTENNA captures radio waves. When exposed to radio waves, the wave induces a minimal COMPONENTS alternating current in the OF RADIO Rx antenna. It is a sensitive amplifier that RF amplifies the very weak radio frequency (RF) signal from the AMPLIFIER antenna to be processed by the tuner. It extracts signals of a particular frequency from TUNER different frequencies. The antenna captures radio waves of all the frequencies and sends them to the radio  It is for the audio information to be separated from the DETECTOR carrier wave. A COMPONENTS rectifying diode rectifies the OF RADIO Rx alternating current signal in the AM signals. A direct current signal that feeds to an audio amplifier circuit is what remains on the alternating current once passed into a rectifying diode. The weak signal that comes AUDIO from the detector is amplified by this AMPLIFIER component using a simple transistor amplifier circuit  Measures a radio receiver's SELECTIVITY performance to respond only to the radio signal tune in FEATURES OF Rx (such as a radio station) and to reject other signals nearby, such as another COMMON broadcast on an adjacent channel. Identifies and amplifies signals SENSITIVITY at the input of the receiver. It tells us the weakest signal that a receiver will be able to identify and process. Is the ability to accurately reproduce, in its output, the FIDELITY signal that appears at its input. The wider the band passed by the frequency selection circuit, the greater is CLASSIFICATION OF RADIO RECEIVER Tuned Radio Frequency Receiver (TRF) Supersonic Heterodyne Radio Receiver Tuned radio frequency (TRF) This was the first radio receiver used. It consists of a tuned circuit and a detector. Tune radio frequency was used in the early years of wireless technology. The Tune Radio Frequency receiver consists of three mainsections: Tune radio frequency stages, a signal detector, and an audio amplifier.  Tuned radio frequency receiver (TRF) block diagram  Tuned radio frequency These consist stages of one or more amplifying and tuning stages. Early sets often had several stages, each proving some gain and selectivity. Signal detector The detector enables the audio from the amplitude modulation signal to be extracted. It uses a diode to rectify a signal. Audio amplifier This is where the audio signal amplifies.  Tuning changes the frequency through mechanical or electrical means. Adding one more tuned circuit allows the selection of one station at a time. Increasing one or more turned circuits will increase the selectivity of the radio receiver. Tuned amplification includes increased sensitivity and increased selectivity. Detector Reconstructs the information carried by the radio waves. The process of extracting the original information from the carrier wave is called demodulation. A diode, a capacitor, and a resistor make up the detector circuit. It removes high-frequency components. The AM demodulation has two stages. First is the rectification of the amplifier by a diode. Second, the capacitor smooths out the amplitude of the rectified signal. The audio  AM demodulation two stages 1. The rectification of the amplifier by a diode. 2. The capacitor smooths out the amplitude of the rectified signal. The audio signal is the result of the two stages that will be sent to the audio amplifier to further amplify in the audio frequency amplifier (AF)  The TRF receiver gained popularity in 1920’s; however, the tuning took a little while for each stage in the early radios requires separate adjustment. The antenna captures radio waves, and these waves pass through a series of RF amplifiers. The RF amplifier is composed of a resonant circuit, a combination of an inductor and a capacitor. The resonant circuit is also known as a tuned circuit. Through the process of ganged tuning, all RF  The signal is further amplified in an audio frequency (AF) amplifier after detection. The AF amplifier amplifies the weak signal drives, the signal to the loudspeaker or an output device. The signal is increased high enough to drive loads of devices. A speaker is used to hear the audio signal in the form of sound.  TRF receivers are easier to design. It has high sensitivity allowing broadcast frequency from 535 kHz to 1705 kHz. Problems of TRF receivers include difficulty in designing at very high frequency, poor audio quality, instability, and poor selectivity Supersonic Heterodyne Wireless Receiver It was developed to provide an additional level of selectivity. This uses a heterodyne or mixing process to convert signals done to a fixed intermediate frequency.  Supersonic Heterodyne Wireless Receiver Tuning of this radio is through the effective changing of the local oscillator. Broadcast radio receivers, televisions, short wave receivers, and commercial radios have used the superheterodyne principle as the basis of their operation. It was one of the most successful forms of radio being used almost exclusively as the RF circuit design. It was Invented in 1918 and overcoming the selectivity issue making it popular for nearly 100 years.  Supersonic Heterodyne Wireless Receiver Tuning of this radio is through the effective changing of the local oscillator.

Through an RF amplifier, the IF signal transmits. The RF amplifier amplifies the signal and sends it to the mixer. Ganged tuning is used to tune amplifiers that will tune a single IF. There is a local oscillator that provides a signal to mix with signals coming from the antenna. The mixer is the circuit that generates an output signal which contains the sum and difference of the frequency of the two inputs.  Supersonic Heterodyne Wireless Receiver The only signal of interest is the difference frequency or the IF. All frequencies or signals received must be converted into IF. The conversion process is called mixing or heterodyning. The mixer's output signal, which is equal to or very near to the IF, reaches the detector. The detector reconstructs the information brought by the IF signal. Some frequencies are rejected, due to the selectivity in the IF amplifier. AM broadcast band has the standard IF is 455 kHz. FM broadcast and television broadcast bands have standard IFs of 10.7 MHz and 44 MHz, respectively. The output from the detector may need amplification. A speaker is required to listen to the speech or music carried by the signals. THANK YOU
