Radio Receivers
Summary
This video prompts students to think about how radio receivers select for a particular signal out of all of the radio waves around them. Students see how the components in the regenerative receiver circuit work together to dampen unwanted frequencies, while selectively amplifying and demodulating a desired AM signal.
Learning Objectives
After watching this video students will be able to explain how a basic radio receiver circuit functions to select particular radio frequencies.

It is highly recommended that the video is paused when prompted so that students are able to attempt the activities on their own and then check their solutions against the video.
During the video, students will use a circuit diagram to identify the components of a radio receiver.
