High Performance RF Front End, Selectivity + Overload - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hello,

We are working on a design for a high performance RF Front End for a digital FM Reciever. The end system will perform many various RF processing techniques using a Xilinx FPGA device.

That being said, we have some specific criteria to meet on the RF Front End

Such as - sensitivity down to 1-5uV range at the frequency of interest
Overload rejection of upto 12V for a blocking signal without densensing

There was as McIntosh reciever (MR-78) that was designed to handle such overload without the desensing effect.

Does anyone have references, schematics, etc for any various RF Front ends that could offer such overload rejection and/or references on how to develop such overload protection without the desensing effect?

The overload - without desensing - is the primary issue we are facing right now.

Thanks
