Unreferenced date December 2009 In a low IF receiver , the Radio Frequency RF Signal electrical engineering signal is mixed down to a non zero low or moderate intermediate frequency , typically a few Hertz megahertz . Low IF receiver topologies have many of the desirable properties of Direct conversion receiver zero IF architectures , but avoid the DC offset and 1 f noise problems. The use of a non zero IF re introduces the Image response image issue . However, when there are relatively relaxed image and neighbouring Electronic selectivity channel rejection requirements they can be satisfied by carefully designed low IF receivers. Image signal and unwanted blockers can be rejected by quadrature downconversion complex mixing and subsequent Electronic filter filtering . This technique is now widely used in the tiny Frequency modulation FM receivers incorporated into MP3 players and mobile phone s, and is becoming commonplace in both Analog television analog and Digital television digital TV receiver designs. Using advanced analog signal analog and digital signal digital signal processing techniques, cheap, high quality receivers using no resonant circuit s at all are now possible.

Orphan date February 2009 A receiver function technique is a way to model the structure of the Earth by using the information from teleseismic earthquake teleseismic earthquakes recorded at a three component seismograph . A teleseismic P wave will generate P to S conversions at crustal boundaries beneath the seismograph. The difference in travel time between the generated S wave and P wave contains information about the distance to the boundary and if further reverberations are included more detailed structure can be resolved. This is done by deconvolution of the incoming vertical and longitudinal components of the seismogram which removed the common part of the components namely the source and travel path information. The resulting waveform is the receiver function. References C. A. Langston Structure under Mount Rainier, Washington, inferred from teleseismic body waves, J. Geophys.

File Reflex receiver DE293300.png thumb 250px Reflectional radio receiver. The same tube amplifies both radio and audio frequencies. A reflectional radio receiver also called a reflex radio is a radio receiver design in which the same amplifier is used for both the high frequency radio RF and low frequency sound AF signals. The radio signal from the output of the amplifier passes detection and then re enters the input of the amplifier. During the second pass, the sound frequency is amplified then passed to the crystal earpiece earphone . The German company Telefunken applied the German patent 293300 in the year 1913 for the reflex receiver. The output of the amplifier is usually terminated by the radio frequency transformer. The amplified radio signal is taken from the secondary winding of the transformer k, passes detection by the diode l in the given example and then enters the same amplifier again as the low frequency signal through transformer o sub 1 sub .

refimprove date August 2011 An audion receiver makes use of a single vacuum tube or transistor to detect and amplify signals. It is so called because it originally used the audion tube as the active element. Unlike a crystal detector or Fleming valve detector, the audion provided amplification of the signal as well as detection. The audion was invented by Lee De Forest . Image vacuum tube audion.png In its operation, the circuit demodulates the radio frequency RF signal by rectification or square law detection, and then amplifies this demodulated signal. The capacitor in series with the grid and parallel resistance forms a Grid leak detector which allow the grid to cathode to be used as a diode .

Orphan date February 2009 A plasma receiver is an instrument capable of detecting the vibrations in outer space plasma physics plasma . It may have been Donald Gurnett , University of Iowa Professor of Physics , who invented the Plasma receiver. Gurnett has been intimately involved in the key space probes sent since 1962 Ijun III, Voyager program Voyager I and II, Galileo spacecraft Galileo and Cassini Huygens amongst others . Vibrations in the audible frequency range are perceived by humans when air vibrates against their eardrum . Air, or some other vibrating medium such as water, is indispensable in the perception of sound by the human ear. Without it acting as a transmitter, the sound produced by the source will not be perceived by a human. There is no air in outer space, nor there is any other type of medium capable of transmitting any vibration from a source to a human ear. However, there are sources in outer space that do vibrate at frequencies that would be audible by a human, if only there were some sort of transmitting media to carry those vibrations from the source to a human eardrum. One such source, capable of vibrating at audible frequencies 45 to 20,000 vibrations per second is plasma. Plasma is a collection of charged particles, such as free electrons or ionized gas atoms. Examples of plasma are solar flares , solar wind , neon sign s and fluorescent lamps . Plasma interacts with electrical and magnetic fields in ways that can result in vibrations in many frequencies, including the audible range. It appears that Gurnett designed the first plasma receiver, an instrument capable of detecting the vibrations in outer space plasma. These interplanetary plasma vibrations can be transformed into sound waves or air vibrations audible to a human ear.

The parameters of such receivers tuning frequency, receiving bandwidth, gain can usually be adjusted over a much wider range of values than is the case with other radio receivers. Their circuitry is optimized for stability and to enable calibration and reproducible results. Some measurement receivers also have especially robust input circuits that can survive brief impulses of more than 1000 V, as they can occur during measurements of radio signals on power lines and other conductors. Applications Measuring receivers are used with calibrated antennas to determine the signal strength and standards compliance of broadcast signals, investigate and quantify radio frequency interference, determine compliance of a device with electromagnetic interference and TEMPEST standards and regulations. Measuring receivers are also used without antennas to calibrate Radio frequency RF attenuator s and signal generator s.

A reed receiver or tuned reed receiver US was a form of multi channel signal decoder used for early radio control systems. It uses a simple electromechanical device or resonant reed to demodulate the signal, in effect a receive only modem . The encoding used is a simple form of frequency shift keying . These decoders appeared in the 1950s and were used into the early 1970s. Early transistor systems were in use in parallel to them, but they were finally displaced by the appearance of affordable digital proportional systems, based on early integrated circuit s. These had the advantage of proportional control . Operation The decoder of the reed receiver is based on the resonant reed unit. This comprises a number of vibrating metal reeds, each one having a tuned vibration frequency like a tuning fork . These reeds are manufactured from a single tapered sheet of iron or steel, giving a comb of reeds of varying length. This resembles the comb used to sound musical notes in a music box . Like a music box, the length of each reed affects its resonant frequency. The reeds are powered magnetically, by a single solenoid coil and an iron core wrapped between the ends of the reeds. ref name RCMB, 15 Cite book title Radio Control Model Boats author Philip Connolly author2 Vic Smeed year 1970 publisher Model and Allied Publications ref harvid Smeed Connolly 1970 pages 15 17 ref A reed s resonant frequency is a mid range audible frequency of perhaps 300 Hz. ref name RCMB, 15 The solenoid is driven by the output of the radio control receiver ref group note Receivers in use at this time would be 27 MHz amplitude modulation AM superhet receivers. ref , which is an audio tone or tones.
