1. Signal Reception: - Receives radio waves from broadcasting stations or other sources. - Converts the radio waves into electrical signals.
2. Amplification: - Amplifies the weak electrical signals received to make them stronger. - This allows them to be processed and heard through headphones or speakers.
3. Demodulation: - Extracting the original audio or data signal from the modulated radio waves. - Removes the carrier wave and recovers the desired content.
4. Frequency Selection: - Allows the user to select the desired radio frequency. - Tunes the receiver to the specific broadcasting station or frequency.
5. Audio Output: - Drives the connected headphones or speakers. - Outputs the demodulated audio signal, converting it into sound.
6. Control: - Provides controls for volume, tuning, station selection, and other settings. - Allows the user to adjust the receiver to their desired preferences.
7. Power Management: - Regulates the power supply to the receiver's components. - Provides protection against overvoltage or other electrical hazards.
8. Antenna Connection: - Connects to an antenna that receives and transmits radio signals. - Improves signal reception and antenna coupling.
9. Display (Optional): - Some receivers feature a display that shows information such as station name, frequency, or other details. - Provides user feedback and simplifies operation.
