Wikipedia

  1. Superheterodyne receiver

    A superheterodyne receiver, often shortened to superhet, is a type of radio receiver that uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency. It was long believed to have been invented by US engineer Edwin Armstrong, but after some controversy the earliest patent for the invention is now credited to French radio engineer and radio manufacturer Lucien Lévy. Virtually all modern radio receivers use the superheterodyne principle; except those software-defined radios using direct sampling.

  1. superheterodyne receiver

    A superheterodyne receiver is a type of radio receiver that uses the principle of frequency mixing or heterodyning to convert the received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency (IF) which can be more conveniently processed than the original carrier frequency. It offers improved selectivity and sensitivity compared to earlier designs. Transforming the signal frequency allows for convenient tuning and increases the selectivity of the signals. The technology was originally introduced in the early 20th century and has since become the dominant receiver design in many communication systems.
