ACL-AD: Amplitude Demodulation Receiver Kit

About Product

A complete super-heterodyne AM receiver that demonstrates real-world RF tuning, IF filtering (455 kHz), envelope and product detection, selectivity, and AGC. Students receive live AM transmissions and explore DSB/SSB voice reception with practical alignment exercises.

1) Dedicated Amplitude Demodulation Receiver Trainer for practical study of AM reception.

2) Includes complete RF, IF, detection and audio stages on a single board.

3) Built-in RF amplifier, local oscillator and mixer sections.

4) Includes AGC sections for studying automatic gain control.

5) Individual functional blocks can be interconnected and studied separately.

6) Includes a fault-switch section for troubleshooting and fault-analysis exercises.

7) Suitable for hands-on study of AM receiver and demodulation concepts.

8) Mobile based interactive e-manual.
