Heterodyne receiver has five sections
RF section
Mixer/converter section
IF section
Broad tuned band pass filter with adjustable frequency that is tuned to
carrier frequency
Reduces the noise bandwidth of the receiver and provides the initial
step toward reducing the over all receiver bandwidth to the
minimum bandwidth required to pass the information signal.
It determines the sensitivity of the receiver.
Better selectivity.
It consists of two components
Mixer
Local oscillator
Mixer stage :
Heterodyning takes place in the mixer stage.

If the IF is too high
Poor Selectivity and Poor adjacent channel rejection.
Tracking Difficulties.
Detector: Rectifies the modulated signal, then filters out the 455
KHz. Leaving only the audio frequency or intelligence of 50 Hz – 20
KHz Which is sent to the AF amplifiers.
