TY - JOUR AB - THE principles upon which radio receivers of various types are designed at the present time have been developed by various technical workers, who have in many cases specialized on particular applications or even on integral portions of the receiver itself. As a result there is a widespread and varied literature on the subject of receiver design, which has for some time needed digesting and classification. In the book under review, Dr. Sturley has met this situation by bringing together the fundamentals of receiver design for the benefit of those engaged in this class of work. After two introductory chapters dealing with general considerations and valves, the order of treatment is to follow the received signal from the aerial through the radio-frequency amplifiers, the frequency changer with its local oscillator and then through the intermediate-frequency amplifier to the second detector giving an audio-frequency output. The present volume ends at this stage, leaving audio-frequency amplifiers and power supplies to be dealt with in Part 2.
