This amplifier-sequenced hybrid (ASH) receiver is based on several leading-edge
technologies that allow outstanding performance in a small and simple-to-apply
module. Two surface-accoustic-wave (SAW) devices are employed. Front-end fil-
tering by a low-loss coupled-resonator SAW filter provides excellent selectivity.
Typical sensitivity better than -100 dBm is achieved with no RF oscillating or regenerative circuits. This results in virtually no RF spu-
rious emissions. A low-loss SAW delay line provides the time delay necessary to sequence the two RF amplifiers. Time sequencing of
the RF gain eliminates the need for frequency conversion prior to AM detection. This receiver is designed to operate from a 3 V lithium
battery with typically 1.1 mA current. For system design flexibility, the baseband output is accessible, and the comparator threshold can
be changed externally between two settings. Typical applications include unlicensed wireless remote-controls, security and data-trans-
mission devices operating in the United Kingdom under DTI MPT 1340 and in the USA under FCC Part 15.
