Abstract :
This paper describes the super-regenerative receiver (SRR); a device widely used in short distance telemetry and remote control applications. The difficulty in modeling the regenerative behavior served as the basis for "cut and try" methodology based on results obtained from the simplified model using conventional approach. This work presents the SRR behavior to practical implementations by dynamically controlling the injection-mode levels of the super-regenerative oscillator (SRO) for optimum sensitivity and dynamic ranges.
