Recap

Sensitivity:
• The sensitivity of the receiver is its ability to amplify weak
signals.
EC305.52 4
• Sensitivity is often expressed in micro volts or in decibels
below one volt and measured at three points along the
tuning range .
EC305.52 5
Sensitivity curve:
EC305.52 7
Selectivity:
EC305.52 8
Selectivity curve:
EC305.52 9
• Selectivity varies with receiving frequency and becomes
worse when the receiving frequency is raised.
EC305.52 10
Fidelity:
EC305.52 11
Fading:
EC305.52 12
• Signals arriving at the receiver by different path lengths
randomly differ in phase.
EC305.52 13
• There are basically two types of fading namely general
fading and selective fading.
EC305.52 14
Image rejection ratio:
EC305.52 15
• The rejection of the image frequency is given by
• α = √ (1+Q2 p2)
Where p = (fsi /fs)– (fs / fsi)
Q = loaded Q of tuned circuit.
• Image rejection depends on the front end selectivity of
the receiver must be achieved before the IF stage.
