How Receivers Work

WVHS Scheduled

About This Event

Learn how radio receivers work in this introductory West Valley Ham Shack class. The focus is on what happens inside a receiver in general, rather than detailed analysis of individual components.

Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) receivers: RF amplifier and LC tuning, diode detector, audio amplifier, and speaker.

Superheterodyne receivers: the additional stages, including the local oscillator (LO), mixer (heterodyne stage), IF filter and amplifier, and demodulator.
