⟩ Explain the importance and effect of IF IN radio receiver?
The superhet rodyne receiver is quite important in a radio receiver.
It enable the receiver to use a single frequency as the center frequency of the band-pass filter. this frequency is the Intermediate Frequency (IF).
The received signal is going through a frequency translation (in practice it goes through a mixer), which makes it
IF centered.
It should be noted that a static filter is much easier to build and is much more efficient.
