Or S/N = 20dB
Using the data obtained from step 7-9, determine the sensitivity of the
receiver. Incase there is an interference occurring at the frequency
selected for the axperiment, avoid the problem by moving the
frequency slightly either loweror higher.
E. Summary
1. There are two ways to improve the sensitivity of a receiver.
a. Increase RF amplification :
The main advantage of increasing RF amplification is improved
selectivity of the receiver. Interference due to the image frequency
can be reduced at the same time. This is an attractive receiver.
However, for a variable frequency receiver. Yhe multiple tuning
stage become complex and expensive.
b. Increase IF amplification :
Because IF is lower than RF, its easier to perform multiple stage
amplification of IF than RF. Since the is constant for vaiable
frequency receiver, it can be cost effectively applied to a variable
frequency receiver.
2. In general, the selectivity of FM receivers is inferior to that of AM
receivers. The reason for this is FM occupies broader frequency
bandwidth. As an example, compare the FM wave with AM wave for the
following specification.
Carrier frequency fc = 100MHz
Frequency deviation f = 5KHz which is typical for narrow band FM
Modulation input frequency fs = 3KHz
4. The describle S curve is the one with the maximized linear portion as
shown in the figure below.
