the receiving antenna in

transistor radio
receivers is made of a
coil of small wires
radio receiver parts and functions

There are two wire windings

around the ferrite core.

• Primary winding
• Secondary winding

-also called variable capacitors.

tuning capacitor’s work is

to select which of the
collected radio signals at
the antenna should enter
the radio tuner

capacity of the tuning

capacitor is varied or
changed every time we turn
its knob to select which
radio signal from the radio

• mix the signals coming

from the antenna
• tuned in by the tuning
capacitor, and the
signals come from the
local oscillator
 radio receiver parts and functions

After mixing, these two signals are converted to new

signals known as the intermediate frequency (IF signal).
The standard frequency of the IF signals for amplitude
modulation (AM) radio tuner is 455 kHz, (kilohertz), or
455,000 Hertz, (Hz)
 radio receiver parts and functions

The process of mixing two different signals to

produce a new signal or signals is called the
heterodyne process or heterodyning process.

The IF section of the radio tuner is like an

electronic gate.
The IF section prevents interfering signals to enter the radio
tuner when it is tuned to one radio station.

The detector is also called the demodulator. Its

work is to detect and recover the audio information
from the radio signal received by the radio tuner.
