SA614A NXP Semiconductors Low power FM IF system 13.2 IF amplifiers The IF amplifier section consists of two log-limiting stages. The first consists of two differential amplifiers with 39 dB of gain and a small signal bandwidth of 41 MHz (when driven from a 50 source). The output of the first limiter is a low impedance emitter follower with 1 k of equivalent series resistance.

SA614A NXP Semiconductors Low power FM IF system 2. The demodulated output demonstrates a threshold. Above a certain input level, the limited signal begins to dominate the regeneration, and the demodulator begins to operate in a normal manner. There are three primary ways to deal with regeneration: 1. Minimize the feedback by gain stage isolation. 2. Lower the stage input impedances, thus increasing the feedback attenuation factor. 3. Reduce the gain.
SA614A NXP Semiconductors Low power FM IF system In some products, it may be impractical to utilize shielding, but this mechanism may be appropriate to 10.7 MHz and 21.4 MHz IF. One of the benefits of low current is lower radiated field strength, but lower does not mean non-existent. A spectrum analyzer with an active probe clearly shows IF energy with the probe held in the proximity of the second limiter output or quadrature coil.

Note that is the deviation 1 2 frequency from the carrier 1 1. Example: at 455 kHz IF, with 5 kHz FM deviation. The maximum normalized frequency is (455 5)/455 kHz = 1.010 or 0.990. Go to the frequency as a function of normalized frequency curves (Figure 12) and draw a vertical straight line at ------ = 1.01.
SA614A NXP Semiconductors Low power FM IF system output of the comparator is logic output. The choice of op amp or comparator depends on the data rate. With high IF frequency (10 MHz and above), and wide IF bandwidth (L/C filters) data rates in excess of 4 Mbaud are possible. 13.7 RSSI The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), of the SA614A demonstrates monotonic logarithmic output over a range of 90 dB.
