🔍 Key Concepts

• Receiver front end function in a radio receiver • Relationship between RF gain, noise figure, and overall sensitivity • What AGC (Automatic Gain Control) normally acts on in a superheterodyne receiver

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a typical superheterodyne receiver, which stage (RF, IF, or audio) usually provides the majority of gain? • Which block in the receiver chain most strongly affects how much external noise versus internal noise dominates the signal? • Does the RF amplifier usually create the AGC voltage, or does some later stage detect and develop it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where an RF amplifier is located in the receiver block diagram (before or after the mixer/IF stages). • Decide which function is most associated with improving sensitivity and noise performance at the front end. • Verify which stage typically handles AGC voltage development, and whether that is normally an RF, IF, or detector function.
