A Simple-To-Build Superhet Receiver


                       Advertisements

This idea presents a simple circuit for a superhet radio receiver that can be built up in sections, with each section tested before assembly. The receiver circuitry as presented here can be built for less than $50.

Don’t be misled—even though the set has some pretty obvious limitations as presented, it’s still capable of worldwide reception when connected to a few meters of wire as an antenna. When constructing a superhet receiver needing just one coil/tuning-capacitor combination, there’s the obvious advantage that only one simple coil needs to be made. It also makes the receiver very easy to experiment with by changing the coil dimensions, etc.
