Tuned Radio Frequency Receiver for Satellite Communication

Abstract

The advanced technology of microwave semiconductor devices has made it possible to develop wideband FM linear discriminators and Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) receivers at UHF and microwaves. In this paper, different types of FM discriminators and TRF receivers which are presently in use for satellite communication applications have been discussed. The paper also describes the 860-MHz TRF receiver developed for the reception of TV signal from ATS-6 satellite.
