Abstract :
The authors present an in-depth analysis of super-regenerative receiver performances. A preliminary study of negative conductance variation according to the oscillator amplitude is first achieved. Then a computer method is proposed to simulate a super-regenerative receiver with and without Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The variation of the gain and adjacent signal rejection with the increase of the RF input power signal is explained
