Sensitivity Time Control Loss

Abstract

This report determines the loss associated with the use of sensitivity time control in a receiver. The receiver consists of three stages, the second stage of which incorporates the STC signal level control function. An example receiver is considered to illustrate the degree of STC loss that might be expected in a typical receiver. The loss is expressed in terms of the receiver's various noise figures, gains of each stage, and the range ratio. (Author).
