THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
As technology continues to grow for the past few years, people tend to adapt
to this rapid phase. A lot of new things can be seen in the industry and a lot of
materials that are already in it are still developing. Communication is one of the
major inventions of humans that aids the problem in terms of interacting with
distance. With the help of technology, people are able to communicate throughout
the world. A crucial component of aviation safety is effective communication. Verbal
communication skills are essential for the future of aviation safety because radio
communication is the primary method of communication between pilots and air
traffic controllers (ATC).
Aviation communication encompasses a wide range of team members,
including ground handlers, cabin crew, construction workers, airline staff, security
personnel, ramp workers, airport operators, and other aviation specialists. It also
includes communication between pilots, copilots, ATC, and other aircraft. As a
result, all aviation industry personnel bear a heavy obligation to raise their level of
understanding and communication in order to reduce the likelihood of catastrophic
aircraft catastrophes that may be avoided with effective communication. Learning
the process on how communication works is a knowledge that an avionics person
should acquire. It’s not easy to learn the process by just reading and listening to it,
especially in communication, it is better to see how things work for better
understanding.

According to “District Dera Ghazi Khan (2015) they concluded that using
visuals aids as a teaching method stimulates thinking and improves the learning
environment in a classroom. Effective use of visual aids substitutes monotonous
learning environments. Students develop and increase personal understanding of
the areas of learning when they experience a successful and
pleasant learning in the classroom. Students find visual aid sessions useful and relevant when it
has some direct relation to the course content”.
According to “Grove Eye Care (2019), People can retain information taught
graphically in their mind for a longer amount of time. According to various studies,
children tend to react to visual information more quickly than they react to plain text,
making them primarily visual learners in this generation of change and technology.
Additionally, visual aids can enhance learning on a variety of levels. The way
teachers convey knowledge and the way students learn are changing as a result of
this contemporary approach to teaching and learning. The classroom is a fantastic
setting for visual learning. For this reason, a lot of educators are adopting visual
teaching strategies that incorporate pictures, whiteboards, presentations, films, and
more. Students that use visual learning techniques can better manage and
accomplish their objectives. Additionally, the techniques can aid kids in developing
abilities like critical thinking, better decision-making, and problem-solving”.
Education benefits greatly from visual information. Students find it more
interesting than reading or hearing simple text. People process words using their
short-term memory, claims an education consultant. As a result, they are unable to
memorize a lot of information. Images, on the other hand, are permanently stored in
2
the long-term memory. Another study found that between 10 and 20 percent of
spoken or written knowledge can be retained by students. In contrast, they are only
able to remember about 65% of visual information. Among the advantages of visual
learning are:
A radio receiver is a piece of technology that receives a signal being
delivered, separates the original signal from it, and amplifies the original signal.
Demodulation is the term used to describe the signal extraction process. For
instance, a radio station will transmit a signal that a
receiver will subsequently pick up. The receiver will then pick out that signal among a plethora of
others and play it back over its speakers. The receiver can be built to demodulate and decode a
variety of signals, including sounds, images, and digital data, to mention a few. Alexander
Stepanovich Popov designed and implemented the first radio receiver in 1896. It was based on
electromagnetic waves, which were proven to exist by James Clerk Maxwell only a few years
earlier in 1887. It took only a few more years until the first radio system was able to transmit
communications across the Atlantic in 1901.
In the time between then and the present day, the receiver has seen a great
many technological advances. One of the most significant advances was the
invention of the superheterodyne, or superhet, receiver. These developments have
made it possible for the radio receiver to be smaller while also improving signal
reception in dense radio traffic. Many different radio frequencies are used in this
traffic for various things. These frequencies range from very low to very high
frequencies, with FM, AM, VHF, and UHF serving as examples.
3
With the recent rise in the use of digital signals, the receiver is still
undergoing several technological advancements. Satellite radio and digital TV have
both been made possible by these digital broadcasts (DTV). There are several
different types of radio receivers. Home stereo systems use high fidelity audio
receivers to decode high-resolution audio signals from sources such as DVD
players, Blu-ray Disc players, vintage VCRs, and more in addition to listening to
radio broadcasts. The energy received from radio waves powers a crystal radio
receiver. Scientific use is made of measurement and telemetry receivers, which
collect and report a wide range of data based on the signals they receive. Other
types include radio scanners, portable transistor radios, satellite television receivers,
and communications receivers.
In aviation, simple conductors with lengths inversely correlated to the
wavelength of the oscillated frequency emitted by the transmitter are antennas. The
targeted carrier wave and
numerous additional radio waves that are present in the atmosphere are all captured by an
antenna. To separate the desired carrier wave and its information, a receiver is required.
Circuitry to distinguish the information signal from the carrier wave is also present in the
receiver. It gets it ready for output to a device, such speakers or a screen. The information signal
that was initially sent into the transmitter is what is output. The super heterodyne receiver is a
typical receiver.
Like any receiver, it must amplify the required radio frequency picked up by
the antenna because it is weak due to atmospheric refraction. The receiver's
oscillator compares and chooses the desired frequency from among all of the
frequencies that the antenna picked up. Unwanted frequencies are sent to earth.
4
The local oscillator of the receiver produces a frequency that is different from the
carrier wave's radio frequency. These two frequencies are blended in the mixer.
There are four frequencies created by this combination. The three frequencies in
question are the local oscillator frequency, radio frequency, and their sum and
difference. The difference and total frequencies hold the information signal. The
remaining processing uses the frequency that is the difference between the radio
frequency carrier wave frequency and the local oscillator frequency. This frequency
in VHF aviation communication radios is 10.8 MHz. It is amplified before being
transferred to the detector and is referred to as the intermediate frequency.
The detector, also known as a demodulator, is where the carrier wave part of
the signal is separated from the information stream. In AM, the signal is rectified,
leaving only one sideband with a weaker version of the initial transmitter input signal
because both sidebands of the signal include the important information. At this
moment, the signal's varying frequency in FM receivers is converted to a signal's
varying amplitude. Finally, the output device experiences an amplifying process.
This study tends to provide understanding more about communication and
how it works, especially with our industry, in which communication is a vital
instrument that is needed in order
to provide a great and safe service, specifically aiming for the radio communications. The
researchers are aiming to provide a visual representation of a radio receiver that will help the
students to understand the communication process and have an idea on how things work inside
a receiver including the components.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A radio receiver is an electronic device that picks up the desired signal,
blocks the unwanted signals, amplifies the desired signals and demodulates the
carrier signal to return it to the original frequency signal. According to Douge Lowe
(2016) Radio waves are abundant everywhere. But during the latter part of the 19th
century, scientists figured out how to generate radio waves electrically by the use of
electric currents. In order to make this possible, there are two components that are
required which are the Transmitter and Receiver. Radio Receiver is the counterpart
of Radio Transmitter. It utilizes an antenna to detect radio waves and then filters the
waves that are on the desired frequency and then extracts the audio signals and
lastly feeds them to the speaker.
As stated by John Mitchell (2022) when building a FM radio receiver, it is an easy task
and can be done within an hour. To make it functional all the tools and components needs to be
gathered first. Next is after gathering the tools and components needed, assembling and
soldering is required. Radio receiver will be operational once all the steps are done. It will work if
it can gather signals from a certain frequency. This implies that building a radio receiver is an
easy task. It is an easy task but a very informational task since it can give knowledge about the
radio receiver.
Furthermore, radio receivers are a vital component in the world of aviation. Every
instrument and some aircraft components rely on the radio. Meaning, having knowledge about
this component is a great thing because it can really give a leverage on future aviators. The
6
instructional nature of this product is a great help for students and professors because it can be
an aid for their better learning experience. They can be more immersed in the components of
the radio receiver. In addition, they can also have better knowledge on how it works thus making
it easier to understand and repair since as an avionics specialist it is one of their main jobs to
work on the aircraft components inside it, especially the cockpit.
The 3d Model of Radio Receiver is a great instructional tool since it is much better than
charts and illustrations of the model. In addition, it is much better than the schematic diagrams
since it has real components which the students can be more familiarized with. Moreover, it can
also be assembled and disassembled for better immersion on each component and it is
functional.
In this study the researchers will be developing a 3D model of Radio
Receiver. Also, to contribute instructional material to the Aviation Electronics
Technology Department of the Philippine State College of Aeronautics so that
students can clearly understand the concepts discussed in the classroom. Students
would be aware of what are the components of the radio receiver. In addition, they
can see how it works and what the components of the receiver look like. They would
have a better understanding about the Radio Receiver.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
7
The Study “Development of a 3D Model of Radio Receiver” specifically aims to
achieve the following objectives:
1. Identify the materials and components needed to create a 3D Model of Radio
Receiver.
2. Substitute the symbols of a schematic diagram of Radio Receiver with real
components.
3. Present the procedure in making the 3D model of the radio receiver schematic
diagram.
4. Contribute an instructional tool that can be used by the professors of the
Philippine State College of Aeronautics
5. Determine that with this kind of instructional tool, students can have better and
faster understanding with the components of radio receivers.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
8
This study made research-based data contributions that are applicable to the
electronics industry. The researchers also believe that the findings of the study will
be a great contribution to the following:
Educational Tool. The use of schematic diagrams enables the reader to
comprehend how a circuit works. Instead of only displaying the receiver's schematic
diagram drawing. The study will be useful because it can demonstrate the actual
parts and how it is functioning on a circuit.
Students. The students will be able to understand the receiver's actual parts
and operation rather than just being able to read a receiver's schematic diagram.
Faculty and Department. This study will be beneficial to the PhilSCA-FAB
teaching staff as they can present this topic in a way that they can gain more
knowledge about the product that can be used in demonstrating it interactively. This
will help them to make the students better understand the topic.
Researchers. This study is significant to the current researchers as it allows
them to perform tasks, use their own knowledge in presenting data and enhancing
their abilities in terms of researching and analyzing for the improvements of the
study.
Future Researchers. The present study will be beneficial to the future
researchers as they can use this as their basis in their future intent in pursuing the
same study.

RESISTORS
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements
electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to
reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements,
and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. It was used as a limiter in the
flow of current on the circuit.
Figure 8. Resistor
VARIABLE RESISTOR
A variable resistor is a resistor of which the electric obstruction worth can be
changed. A variable resistor is fundamentally an electro-mechanical transducer and

19

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

the world. A crucial component of aviation safety is effective communication. Verbal

communication is the primary method of communication between pilots and air

traffic controllers (ATC).

Aviation communication encompasses a wide range of team members,

includes communication between pilots, copilots, ATC, and other aircraft. As a
