The Differences Between Receiver Types, Part 2 (.PDF Download)

March 24, 2016

This two-part series examines various types of receiver implementations, focusing in on the roles played by receivers, as well as some of the characteristics that describe their performance. Part 1 analyzed both the direct-conversion and superheterodyne implementations. In Part 2, we’ll take a deeper look into the dual-conversion superheterodyne receiver, as well as discuss the newer direct RF-sampling technique...
