DSB and SSB AM Receiver Trainer
Product Code : JA-CT-1511
The DSB and SSB AM receiver trainer is a superheterodyne receiver covering 980 kHz to 1650 kHz with a 455 kHz IF, used to study DSB reception with a diode (envelope) detector, SSB reception with a product detector, AGC, tuned circuits, image frequencies, and receiver sensitivity, selectivity and fidelity. It receives through a telescopic antenna or a cable and has 8 switched faults and 50 test points (SKU JA-CT-1511).

Frequently asked questions
What frequency range does the receiver tune?
980 kHz to 1650 kHz, with a 455 kHz intermediate frequency and variable-capacitor tuning.
How are DSB and SSB signals detected?
DSB with a diode (envelope) detector and SSB with a product detector, using the on-board BFO.
Can signals be received over the air?
Yes. The receiver works from a telescopic antenna or through a cable.
