Preamplified Direct Detection Versus Heterodyne Detection: Can They be Equivalent,

Abstract

In this paper the interrelationship of heterodyne receivers and preamplified direct-detection receivers is explained. We show that under certain conditions these two lightweight receiver types have equivalent performance. Furthermore, it is shown that this is a general result, which is independent of the modulation format used.
