WHAT DOES SUPERHETERODYNE RECEIVER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

superheterodyne receiver

Superheterodyne receiver

In electronics, a superheterodyne receiver, uses frequency mixing to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency, which can be more conveniently processed than the original radio carrier frequency. It was invented by US engineer Edwin Armstrong in 1918 during World War I. Virtually all modern radio receivers use the superheterodyne principle. At the cost of an extra frequency converter stage, the superheterodyne receiver provides superior selectivity and sensitivity compared with simpler designs.

Definition of superheterodyne receiver in the English dictionary

The definition of superheterodyne receiver in the dictionary is a radio receiver that combines two radio-frequency signals by heterodyne action, to produce a signal above the audible frequency limit. This signal is amplified and demodulated to give the desired audio-frequency signal Sometimes shortened to: superhet.
