Software Defined Radio (SDR) turns the hardwired, task-specific and very elaborate chip development of the past into a flexible software-based design running on a generic, efficient and mass-produced ...

Link-budget analysis in radio-receiver design determines whether the noise and distortion performance of the system meets the design specifications. The analysis attempts to cascade the specifications ...

THIS book forms the second part of a comprehensive treatise on the principles of design of radio receivers, the first part of which was reviewed in Nature of June 12, 1943, p. 657. Part 2 preserves ...

Communications receivers, with which we are primarily concerned in this book, have much in common with receivers for other applications, such as direction finders, radio altimeters, radar, and related ...

Radio receivers are a key element in radio communications and broadcasting systems. This chapter presents some of the more important receiver specification parameters. It will help you understand ...

Testing FM receivers is not that much different than testing other pieces of audio equipment. Appropriate tests include the big six: level, frequency response, THD+N, phase, interchannel crosstalk, ...

The classic radio receiver design is the superheterodyne (superhet) architecture that US Signals Corps officer Edwin Armstrong devised in 1918. In his design submission, Armstrong describes how to ...

IN the past few years radio manufacturers in Great Britain have awakened to the fact that the export industry has been very much neglected. This is shown clearly in a paper read before the Students ...
