1. Neutrodyne

   The Neutrodyne radio receiver, invented in 1922 by Louis Hazeltine, was a particular type of tuned radio frequency (TRF) receiver, in which the instability-causing inter-electrode capacitance of the triode RF tubes is cancelled out or "neutralized" to prevent parasitic oscillations which caused "squealing" or "howling" noises in the speakers of early radio sets. In most designs, a small extra winding on each of the RF amplifiers' tuned anode coils was used to generate a small antiphase signal, which could be adjusted by special variable trim capacitors to cancel out the stray signal coupled to the grid via plate-to-grid capacitance. The Neutrodyne circuit was popular in radio receivers until the 1930s, when it was superseded by the superheterodyne receiver.

1. Neutrodyne

   The Neutrodyne was a particular type of tuned radio frequency radio receiver, in which the instability-causing inter-electrode capacitance of the triode RF tubes is cancelled out or "neutralized". In most designs, a small extra winding on each of the RF amplifiers' tuned anode coils was used to generate a small antiphase signal, which could be adjusted by special variable trim capacitors to cancel out the stray signal coupled to the grid via plate-to-grid capacitance. The circuit was developed in the early 1920s by Alan Hazeltine and made by a group of more than 20 firms that were licensed to produce Hazeltine-Neutrodyne receivers known as the Independent Radio Manufacturers. Hazeltine's invention effectively neutralized the high-pitched squeals that had plagued early radio sets. The design also neutralized the stranglehold that RCA then held on the commercial radio industry. Compared to the technically superior Superheterodyne the Neutrodyne was cheaper to build. Also, as basically a TRF receiver, it was also considered easier for non-technical owners to use than the early superhets. To properly set up a Neutrodyne receiver, not only did the circuitry need to be aligned for peak performance, it also had to be neutralized. However, this procedure only needed to be done once and thereafter the radio could be tuned by anyone without special skill, a unique feature at the time. The neutrodyne was the first commercial receiver suited to use by the general public. By 1927 some ten million of these receivers had been sold to consumers in North America.
