Preselector stage
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.
Amplifier stage
It determines the sensitivity of the receiver.
Better selectivity.
Mixer or conversion section
It consists of two components
Mixer
Local oscillator
Mixer stage :
Heterodyning takes place in the mixer stage.
TRACKING:
It is the ability of the local oscillator in a receiver to oscillate
either above or below the selected radio frequency carrier by an
amount equal to the IF frequency through the entire radio frequency
band.
Tracking error
Tracking error: the difference between the actual local oscillator
frequency to the desired frequency.

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.
