Glossary

Homodyne receiver A receiver which involves multiplying the modulated received signal by a local oscillator which has the same frequency as that associated with the received signal, so that the received signal will be directly converted into the baseband. Superheterodyne receiver superheterodyne receivers A receiver in which the frequency of the incoming signal is reduced in a mixer or frequency changer by heterodyning with another frequency at the local oscillator. (Heterodyning: combining two sinusoidal frequencies radio frequency waves in a non-linear device resulting in sum and difference frequencies). Synchrodyne receiver synchrodyne receivers A receiver in which a mixing carrier signal is inserted in exact synchronism with the original carrier at the transmitter. Used for the selective detection of signals coded in a certain way.
