Types of AM Receiver

Coherent Receiver
It’s a synchronous receiver
The frequency generated in the receiver and used for demodulation are
synchronized to oscillator frequencies generated in the transmitter.
Noncoherent Receiver
It’s a asynchronous receiver
No frequency generated in the receiver or the frequencies used for
demodulation are completely independent from the transmitters carrier
frequency
Noncoherent detection often called envelope detector

Advantage and Disadvantage
15
Advantage
TRF Receiver are very simple to implement
TRF Receiver have high sensitivity
Disadvantage
They are useful only to single channel low frequency application
Their bandwidth varies with center frequency when tuned over wide
range of frequency.
Due to large number of RF amplifiers, The receiver can be unstable
The gain of TRF receiver is not uniform over a wide frequency range.

The output of the detector follows the envelop of the modulated signal.
On the positive cycles of the input signal, the diode conducts and the
capacitor charges up to the peak voltage of the input signal.
As the input falls below this peak value, the diode is cut off, because the
capacitor voltage is greater than the input signal voltage, thus causing the
diode to open.
The capacitor now discharges through the resistor at slow rate. The
discharge process continues until the nest positive half-cycle.
When the input signal becomes greater than the output across the
capacitor, the diode conducts again and the process is repeated.

Synchronous or Coherent Demodulation
30
This is relatively more complex and more expensive. The Local Oscillator
(LO) must be synchronised or coherent, i.e. at the same frequency and in
phase with the carrier in the AM input signal.

If the AM input contains carrier frequency, the LO or synchronous carrier may be derived
from the AM input.
