A Polarization Diversity VHF Receiver.
Abstract
One of the most important aspects in designing a VHF receiver is the system constraints that are imposed by the environment that the receiver must operate in. A systematic technique for designing a receiver as an integral part of an overall system has been developed. This technique allows straightforward receiver design considering all the pertinent system constraints. The major design considerations are: (a) all pertinent existing system constraints, (b) optimization of the received S/N for given intermodulation, dynamic range, and bandwidth, (c) ease of operation, and (d) ease of maintenance. A resulting polarization-diversity VHF receiver for a specific application was built using this technique. (Author)
